Actually I was born and raised in America. Maybe you should take your own advice and shut the fukk up.
In your soundcloud profile you state "DC by way of Ethiopia" so I took your word for it.

When are you moving? Are you going to RENOUNCE your American citizenship when you do?
That's not my soundcloud that's my cousin, and he says that more so because of his background he was born in DC.

Another thread full of let's do this, let's do that but ultimately I'm guessing they will still be in the same spot ten years from now still talking about what we need to do.
Set examples brehs. Show you're about it.
The whole idea is dumb. If anything the smart thing to do is to be EVERYWHERE and establish economic bases everywhere we are. That will take a lot of work and a change in mindset.
When I have adequate investment capital and real estate. And why would I renounce citizenship? Moving with ease globally is a privilege and my immediate family will still be here

So you are first generation.
How the hell can you offer advice to Black Americans when your parents left Africa to come here? And from what I hear from family in DC ya'll Ethiopians can be on that anti-Black American tip.

Yeah, I thought so.
Who said every Black American should move back
You c00ns shyt on Blacks who want to migrate back, but those of us who do, could care less if you stay
I will gladly go to another country if I am giving Monopoly pieces to build businesses and what not but why leave here where there is resources and i have some capitol for a place I have little capitol and even less resources. That's hustling backwards, I hear Ghana has a program for AA's but I haven't looked into it like that.

Any other country, I'd be down for the idea. But it's pretty clear that so long as we are in America, we'll never come close to having a fair shake. I rather get away from it all together.
With that said, your idea isn't completely off base, as long as Alaska (or another state in the US) isn't the permanent homebase. Better of building / acquiring wealth and influence, THEN leveraging it to an African country. Asking an African country to let black Americans in just cuz may not be enough. With some leverage however, something tangible to bring to the table, that may tip the scales.
Yeah I'd appreciate it if you stop being nosy. For the record, that cousin of mine is half African American as are many of my cousins here so yeah this whole narrative that I had to school your stupid ass about the first time is a gross generalization of Ethiopians and East Africans on the whole. There are Ethiopians that are Pan Africanist and are immersed in the Black experience. You don't know what you talkin about, you've never been nowhere, I bet you have no passport, and you've never congregated and been around other Blacks in America let alone the world.
You're an idiot and you should stop quoting me. The subject of linking the diaspora and the continent is too much for you to grasp.

they don't want anyone to go back anywhere. they love to oppress and exploit. i know some people have made at least decent lives for themselves here so if they want to stay then that's their business, but i 'm not about to judge people who want to leave america based on their personal experiences here, that's some napoleon shyt. we all have agency and our reasons to do what the fukk we please. i personally don't want to raise a kid here. it's only going to get worse as the country loses its super power status and the economy slides further into the hole. that being said all my family and friends are here so i'm not leaving.
i can't blame anyone who does though.
