This is one of the best, most incisive discussions in the Cerebral Talks TV portfolio of on-point disquisitions.
It is absolutely true that the "United" States is a dangerously faltering democracy, threatened by the rise of a bona fide, homegrown Fascist candidate (Donald Trump) and his once Conservative and now Fascism-aspiring party (the world's leading scholars of Fascisms, such as Timothy Snyder, Yale; Ruth Ben-Ghiat, NYU; and Robert O. Paxton, Columbia University, the world's preeminent scholar on Fascisms, the Right-wing, and Vichy [and my former professor] have all made these warnings very clear).
But fantasizing an Africa as a utopia in the past and a "solution" to America's enduring racisms –– however understandable the desire–– is both an intellectual failure and an abdication of moral agency.
Africa is a complex continent of myriad cultures, histories, classes, ethnicities, all of which can dazzle in their genius and richness –– and shock in their own long-standing internecine conflicts, social injustices, and variants of systemic racial, gender, and ethnic oppressiveness. Many of these conflicts and oppressions emanate from Europe's racial imperialisms, granted, but just as often Africa's social and political conflicts are wholly separate, unique to Africa, and truly indigenous in nature and seeming intractability.
Indeed, one of the most complex and disturbing of legacies is that various powerful, wealthy African empires, kingdoms and their merchant elites were absolutely and fully implicated in the horrors of the Atlantic Slave Trade: they were business, political, and social partners with Arab and European slaving elites, and many an African aristocrat and merchant elite grew even more powerful and wealthy through their direct participation in the centuries-old Arab and European African slave trades –– a legacy that undergirds many enduring national, class, racial, and gender conflicts throughout Africa.
Simply put, Africa the reality is part and parcel of the human condition and human history. As a continent and in its individual countries, there is much to praise and certainly learn –- I have traveled and worked in Ethiopia, Rwanda, and parts of the Congo, and I can personally attest to those elements and peoples of Africa that can mesmerize in their talents, beauty, and sophistication.
But let us be clear: I was working in Rwanda, for example, as a historical researcher and French-English translator, recording personal histories of survivors of the Rwandan génocide, speaking with likely perpetrators of it, and photographing and recording details of the killing fields: in the 1990s, Rwanda had descended into the same madness, the same Hell on Earth as Nazi-era Europe, Cambodia in the 1970s, the Palestine-Israël of today.
Africa is a complex reality, and one of its many countries might prove the better place for many Black Americans (and not a few White Americans, for that matter) to live. But Africa is most certainly not a utopia from racisms, classisms, gendered violence, and extremisms. Just as the land of Beethoven and Bach, for example, could and did gave rise to unimaginable barbarism, so, too, Africa, for all of its cosmopolitan sophistications and immense cultural genius, is not spared the paradox and folly of the human condition.
Excellent, incisive, and on-point discussion. Once again, thumbs up. Way up.
Mhmmm to each his own some of the stuff you said are outdated but some are valid just do your research before going anywhere … I could say the same thing about America with the gun violence that y’all be shooting each other left right and centre but I have no first hand experience so I have to vigilant about what I say coz a lot of Americans say it’s amazing over there
Don't move there. My husband is from Ghana and told me it's not worth moving to. He hasn't been there since 1993.
I have never had the desire to visit let alone move to Africa. The closest I will ever get to Africa is the safari at Disneyworld or watching Black Panther.
They usually go to the popular safest cities but not the worse parts of Africa.
Powerful message.
I enjoyed this and will now not go to my friends wedding in Abuja 😢
This country thinks that these immigrants are not bringing their sick Traditions here as well just had a Nigerian man do this to a young girl in New York where he mutilated her Anatomy! 😔
They really are going in with rose colored glasses and lack of critical thinking skills and Common Sense you think that black femicide is bad in the states wait till you get over there to the so-called diaspora it's like jumping out of the frying pan Into the Fire where women are second-class citizens where these men have more than one wives where they have cults that it's okay for a 12-year-old to marry a 63 year old this just happened no I'd rather deal with the devil that I know I like my grandmother Mary put it who helped raise me we didn't lose anything in the diaspora we are 500 years removed we owe them no loyalty the problem that's going on over there or created by the people over there it has nothing to do with American descendants of slavery a lot of these countries hate each other what makes you think they're going to welcome you they will welcome your dollar but they don't want you over there and the scamming that I have heard goes on over there down to the police you think the police are bad here from what I hear you got to bride police officers on a daily basis over there! And in my opinion the whole pan-african BS is a scam they didn't help that I ancestors free we freed ourselves and in my opinion we're standing in our country in our motherland! #ADOS
THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU Some of this is about $$ also. Folks get over there and coins run out/low so they start "relocation" and "consultation" sevices to make income, encouraging Blacks from America to move and pay them for this. They glorify the continent; don't give a true picture. Some are sincere and well intended, but others just need to make coins to survive, they're embarrassed to say moving to Africa is not working for them.
I was born Africa and grew up in the UK, I have moved back home and it's not for everyone. It's hard, and if you are not from here it's even harder. Do your research!
I don't understand this. If you are an adult, you do your own research and you make your own plans. You connect with different people who are from where you are from, but who have been living in the country you want to visit first, before you move there. You ask questions. You call the American embassy or consulate. Ultimately, your life, and your safety are your own responsivility. You don't hand over your life, and put it in somebody else's hands. Parents put children on planes, with safety precautions in place, to travel by themselves all the time. Black Americans, male and female, have been visiting and migrating to South Africa since the 1980's without a problem. Watch the documentary "Blacks Without Borders", produced in 2013, to see and hear from some of them!
I would not go to africa for a million dollars😅😅😅😅
I appreciate your commentary, so much truth! However, I disagree with you saying many blacks are racist. We may be prejudiced about many things, as many or most are, but we are not using any power to hold others back or bring harm to others. In fact , we are generally very giving people who will fight for the rights of everyone! We may even do the “jonesing” out of humor but we are not generally a mean spirited people.
And as far as someone speaking up for them, we need someone to speak up for us! We’ve fought so hard to get where we are in this country after suffering slavery, Jim Crow, etc. They need to fight for themselves the way we have. We can’t fight everybody’s battles. They come over here and align with other races against us and like you said, call us all kinds of disparaging names. They (some not all) are even trying to stop or hinder us from getting reparations.
I get what you’re saying and wholeheartedly agree. But I had to chime in when you talked about us being racist, that is definitely not true!
Thanks for sharing this interesting video ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
One thing that ALL Black Americans should UNDERSTAND is Africa is a continent divided 4000x amongst other Black people. You have to ask yourself: What kind of mentality do you have to have to be that divisive?
Those same Africans and Caribbeans however migrate to America and talk about us as if we were like the people where they're from really are
Going into place where the people will give a limb to escape, is crazy,
they free of racism that all
Tribe? You mean ethnicities, ma'am
There's plenty of opportunities to make money in Africa, richest black man in the world in not black American he is Nigerian and makes his money in Nigeria, you tell me an African American cant make money from a market of 1.4 billion? Chinese, whites, arabs and indians are moving to and doing business in Africa you mean black Americans cant exploit business opportunities and spot business gaps in a market of 1.4 billion people? Thats a diss to your people
Whites started coming to Africa before colombus discovered America what stages are you talking about, we are not conquered anymore we gave colonizers a beating and chased them out, even south Africa ended the apartheid regime, can any other continent say the same? America was completely taken over, Australia,new Zealand, Israel, africa was the least colonized india was colonized for longer, Indonesia why the obsession with africa and colonialism stop projecting your weakness on Africans
Lady most of Africa is owned by africans ask the black Americans going there who is selling them the land, where do you think the 1.4 billion people live? Most africans live on their own ancestral land not no rentals, we kicked out the white man over here
