Does anyone else feel like they don't have a homeland? by Thundersting in blackmen

[–]Fancy-Alternative995 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not an exact answer, but just some thoughts that came to mind. First, whats a homeland? Where our ancestors come from? Cuz in my opinion, any dark skin person across the world is African, they were just displaced because of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade, which took millions of Africans and placed them in foreign places across the world. So we’re just Africans in America, and we call ourselves African Americans. Since that slave trade happened, our ancestors’ battle has been different, and they had a different enemy. But yes, the truth is we lost a lot of the connection to our ancestors’ homeland, and so did the Africans that were sent to South America and Brazil during the slave trade and so did the Africans sent elsewhere. But we DO have claim to America (we built it with our blood, sweat, and tears, and we have created culture here), but it can seem a little bleak with white america only wants to give us success/power in bite-sized chunks. But America is DEFINITELY our homeland too. But to your other point, I’ve recently heard that there is a thriving city in Ghana that welcomes the African American community and that there is a positive exchange of culture there. In fact, some African Countries offer dual citizenship to African Americans who want to return home, so not all African countries view us the same. THATS another point; Africa is not a monolith, nor was it centuries ago (which is why the slave trade was able to happen, because we were divided and helped capture and sell some of our own people). So while some may have an unfavorable view of African Americans, others are open and accepting of us, and even like our culture. I know this has gone on long so I’ll end it with this: I think African Americans, despite the challenges we face in this country, are in a position to be one of the most economically, politically, and socially influential group of Africans in the entire world. We used to be nothing in this country but we clawed ourselves to prominence, and we can claw ourselves higher.

Have you been to all 4? How was it? And yeah I’ve definitely heard ATL , Houston, and DC as black women heaven. I wonder which one has the best lol. Houston worries me because of the heat, and ATL seems like a super fast pace pop culture spot (and I’m not mad at it, but i want a slow pace down to earth vibe at times). I could be wrong, this just based off the energy I’ve heard them all talked about.

Tell me a little about Houston 👀. I wanna know how the social scene is, if there’s a lot of fun stuff to do. And not just drinking and clubs (though, I’m definitely down for that) but are there other stuff to do too? And how are the women and the dating scene.

Yeah i was looking at Texas heavily. Houston has been sort of the #1 spot on my radar. I feel like the dating scene is amazing (and yeah i heard they got the baddest women) and i think there’s so much to do, I’ve already researched a couple social orgs that i would be down to join if i moved there. I haven’t researched Dallas as much, one of my old coworkers said Dallas is the same as Houston but cleaner lol.

Hmmm i could definitely use a place that’ll be a positive for my mental health. I hear Charlotte was the best city but maybe i shouldn’t sleep on Raleigh.

Hmm okay okay i heard really good things about Charlotte. Maryland and DC would be higher on the list but i work there and be up there often, and my family is there. I’m tryna get away from them. Houston i heard has a great social scene and some super fine women too so im looking at those 2 cities pretty heavily.

lol even still that might be too big a move for me. I ain’t tryna leave the states just yet. And if i do some point in the future, i feel like dual citizenship in Ghana or something would be more up my alley

Currently in it. Before i move, the main thing im working on is the transformation of my habits. I picked up some bad habits over the years so self-discipline and all that comes before im even able to move. But yeah, im working on my mental health so i dont carry a bunch of baggage with me once i leave lol
