The black woman who regrets her move to Africa is as much to be pitied as ridiculed

It’s easy to laugh at the black American woman who allegedly moved to Ghana to escape racism, only to be confronted with giant spiders, grinding poverty, and the expectation that you pay your energy bills. However, the reality is that, if the video is legit, she made this disastrous move because leftist race hustlers sold her on the lie that America is a racist hellhole and Africa a black utopia. The hustlers haven’t moved, though, preferring vast wealth in America, while she really is living in hell.

For decades, leftists, especially black leftists, have been telling the masses that America is a country grounded in racism, so much so that no reform will change it. It is “systemically racist,” with every white person guilty of overt racism or the even more insidious microaggressions that destroy black people’s ability to thrive.

Just recently, Michelle Obama, wife of a two-term United States president, one of the wealthiest black women in the world, and someone who just won’t shut up, whined about the horror of her unheard life:

This wasn’t surprising, given that Michelle also thought she was subject to a racist experience when short people like me asked her, a tall person, to grab something from the top shelf at the grocery store. For America’s elite and powerful black leftists, everything is racism, just as, to a hammer, everything is a nail. Yet, despite all the complaints about the hell they experience every day, none of these powerful blacks leave.

Race hustlers like Barack and Michelle Obama, Oprah, Al Sharpton, Eli Mystel, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Ibram X. Kendi, and Nikole Hannah-Jones, have made bank, extending to the tens of millions or even the billions, by telling American blacks that the disappointments in their lives—poverty, crime, drug addiction—have nothing to do with personal behavior, and everything to do with the horrors of black life in America. By making this argument—that is, by denying blacks agency—they also deny blacks the ability to change.

And that’s how you get this really tragic (although also laughable) video of a woman who claims that she moved to Africa to escape America’s racism:

A woman who says she moved from America to Ghana is now begging to come back to the US of A, after it turns out setting up shop in a third-world African nation rife with corruption and poverty wasn’t all it was cracked up to be.

“I would rather go back to America and deal with racism in America before I sit here in Africa and deal with the bulls*** bribery, the bulls** fraud, the bulls** scams, the bulls** too expensive, the bulls** not having no snacks, the bulls** not having no food, the bulls** electricity, the bulls** hot water, the bulls**…what’s that shit called? Coming down? The bulls** animals outside the house, it’s big ass spiders, it’s big-ass lizards, all colors you ain’t never seen before, all in the f***ing room with you, sleeping in the room with you,” the woman popped off in a video posted to social media.

She also cited the “bulls*** sand” “bulls*** not having no snacks,” as well as the fact that if she forgets to pay the electric bill in the U.S., she can still get her lights turned back on instantly, but that it takes hours if not days in Ghana.

“I’m really trying to wrap my head around it. How are Americans coming to Africa and being happy? Please comment down below. Because for me, I’m ready to go,” she went on.

“I wanna take my businesses back to America. I wanna open up shop back in America,” she said, saying she dreams of opening up her own dentistry back here.

We don’t actually know the video’s provenance, so it could be a con, but it certainly touches upon the reality of life in Africa versus the dystopian fantasy of life in America that leftist race hustlers foist on naive blacks.

If this woman, assuming she’s legit, had been exposed to information outside of the intellectual ghetto leftists have created, she would never have left America. For example, there’s Keith Richburg’s brilliant Out Of America: A Black Man Confronts Africa, in which he describes the thrill of having been appointed as the Washington Post’s African bureau chief only to discover that Africa is a desperately impoverished, corrupt, and dangerous continent:

I am terrified of Africa. I don’t want to be from this place. In my darkest heart here on this pitch black African night, I am quietly celebrating the passage of my ancestor who made it out.

[snip]

Had my ancestor not made it out of here, I might have ended up there in that crowd, smiling gleefully, while a man with a cleaver cuts off the hands of a thief. Or maybe I would have been one of those bodies, arms and legs bound together, washing over the waterfall in Tanzania. Or maybe my son would have been set ablaze by soldiers. Or I would be limping now from the torture I received in some rancid police cell.

And then maybe I would be thinking: How lucky those black Americans are! It’s been said time and again that nothing makes you appreciate your own country like traveling away from it, and America has been like that for me. I see the flaws, I curse the intolerance, I recoil from the racial and ethnic tensions. And I become infuriated at the often mindless political debate that to me never seems to cut deeper than the crispest sound bite. But even with all that—maybe because of it—I recognize that it’s the only place I truly belong. It’s home. (Richburg, Keith B.. Out Of America pp. 233, 235.)
