One of the biggest pet peeves Africans or especially South Africans have is when an African-American super star arrives in South Africa for a concert or a performance and the first thing out of their mouth is, “It feels good to be home!”
If they would really listen to the crowd, most of them groan in protest. They are not Africans. And if you looked at the way the concert is setup – they would know they are not African.
I would like to say – I do believe that if African-Americans wanted to make it their home or rebuild their roots in Africa – now is the perfect time. Africa is in desperate need for African-Americans to start businesses, music industries, technology, and human service projects. BEE (Black Economic Empowerment) is very strong. South Africa wants 90% of the companies owned and operated by blacks. But those that claim they are from Africa – are seen on MTV exploiting it just like the forefathers who sold them into slavery in the first place via tribal warfare.
I have a T-shirt idea: “Enslave whitey. Rebuild Africa.”
