@ewill — You do know that insulting the truth doesn’t make it go away, right?

@Mr. Owens — is there a sixth thing? In other words, for those of us who don’t have time or money to go to Africa (although we greatly appreciate your sharing), how do we start this continental shift?

REALLY!!!!!!
You went to Africa and those were the lessons you learned about being Black, living in America, and about Africa.
REALLY!!!!!!
You wasted your time and money on the trip. Next time, give the money to charity and stay home.
What a dumb-ass.

Serious question: why is it that black Americans that choose to go to Africa ALWAYS choose to visit Ghana? Every black person I know that has been to African has only been to Ghana. What’s up with that?

I’m serious.

Enlightening and illuminating. Most Black African Americans are sound asleep thus it’s always refreshing to see when someone like yourself has come out from underneath the anesthesia and is now smelling the flavor of our African heritage. I for one appreciate your sharing this with us.
