Something that has really been on the forefront of my mind lately is my place as a black person born in the United States, as a part of the African diaspora. If the US is a white country, does it really make sense for me to be here right now? Truth be told, I'm not sure I want to be. I've daydreamed about living in Africa since I was a kid, as I feel many other black people have.
I'm aware there are quite a few black people who are moving to Ghana at the present moment, as it is a country that is apparently very accepting of displaced black people who want to return to their roots. The way they are welcomed and received feels so warm and beautiful. Not all African countries and areas are accepting of blacks born in the US, and don't want us intermingling with their tribes, which is understandable.
I know it can take a lot of time and resources and learning to move to a different country. It's no small thing by any means. Especially if you want to do so safely and comfortably. And I can't afford to make a halfway thought out, rash decision. But it is something I find myself thinking about often, and could potentially see myself doing.
