African Americans Living And Doing Business In South Africa

More and more African Americans want to come to live in South Africa to do business. For many the experience is also a way of getting away from the difficulties of being black in America. "Where is the hope for us in America?" Moses said. "We will never be in charge. We will always be 13 percent of the American population. We will always be fighting to keep some cop from shooting us in the back. But here in South Africa it's worth the battle. You can win this here."

Generally get the sense men of black origin all over the world desperately want come back to Africa and help build. They've had enough of racism and want to be proud of their origins (Africa),increase cooperation between themselves and the motherland, and expand their reach and knowledge rather than being holed in foreign lands where they remain second class citizens.

But, they are frustrated with the level of poverty, underdevelopment and conflict they hear all over the western media about Africa and this sometimes can play out as hostility when Africans go there to hustle.

That they're willing to go to South Africa despite the crime tells u a lot.

Our crime rate is grossly exergerated. What country has the highest crime rate but remains among the top world tourist destinations in the world? Recieving world royalty, celebrities, etc year in and year out, while most own properties? I think its a way of keeping the "fools" out while they enjoy the place, thats brilliant strategy by the way.

The successful AA are really enjoying SA becouse the have learnt to be humble, learn the culture and adapt. Watch the video and see how well these people are doing. They ussually never want to go back to the US as SA has it all and its a black country,

I've seen that video before already. But its good that AA's are enjoying themselves in Africa and are doing well.

I also hear Ghana has a significant AA community. I've been saying this for the longest. When most African countries get to at least European standard of living, then blacks would have no reason to live in the USA.
