African Americans Difficulty In Traveling

[Sensei]

It seems when a black goes overseas he is hampered with many search and checks, sometimes they even face discrimination especially in places like Europe.
This makes things harder, since many African Americans have a hard time traveling itself. Most Americans (let alone most African Americans) on average, do not have passports.

That is partly what drives my wanderlust. And I am part of a sizable fellowship of African-Americans on a mission to see the world. Seventeen percent of African-Americans take one or more international trips a year, and we spend $48 billion on travel in the United States alone, according to the Mandala Research firm. That amount may be smaller than spending by other (not mutually exclusive) niche groups like LGBT travelers ($70 billion). But, according to analysts at MMGY Global, a marketing firm, black travel has rebounded since 2008, which is notable considering that the great recession doubled the gap between black and white wealth. When you look at per capita income, our travel spending is significant.
