Out of Africa Come Republicans

I echo OP. A story worth the readers’ time. I noticed this particular bit: He still experiences some racial hostility toward himself but shrugs it off. He has aspirations and goals and is not about to let grievances interfere with his plans. This is why some - regardless of color - succeed and others do not. The aimless, the looters, the criminals among them, have no longterm goals, plans. They get sucked into the grievance propaganda and declare themselves losers.

I know quite a few black people from various African countries. They are all hard working, kind and I love talking to them. They place a lot of emphasis on faith and family, two things the woke look on with disdain.

Very good article!

My experience, as well. When my elderly parents were failing, was fortunate to obtain excellent caretakers from all manner of foreign countries....some from Haiti, some from Eritrea, etc....all with stories of great difficulty and exceedingly grateful to be in the USA. Lovely people all around.

It is commonly known that school grades of immigrant children are found to be in distinct groups. Children of US citizens the lowest. Then children born in the US to immigrants. The best are children who were born abroad and came as immigrants to this country with their parents. That should be an eye opener.

10years ago or so I needed a "Sociology" course to fulfill the pre-quiremnts for a Nursing Degree, having been in various colleges previously for other courses of study, and well aware that MOST "Sociology" courses are actually just "Socialism" courses I researched professors and course descriptions looking for the "Least Woke" alternatives..."Cultural Anthropology" fulfilled the course requirements and seemed the best of bad options. I thought my hopes were dashed on the 1st day, Professor was an African Female, most of the other students african American and female as well...Her english was heavily accented, and hard to understand. Boy was I wrong, she turned out to be one of the very BEST professors I have ever had, VERY Conservative by today's standards only because she was 100% Logical/Rational and fact based, she shattered so many of the tropes and excuse making of the African American victim machine that over half of the class ended up quitting, she was demanding, graded hard, expected work to be done thoroughly and on time and brought REAL truth and historical perspective to the African, American, European, and Global "Ascent of Man and Society". She was teaching at a Community college even though she had TWO PHD's, and was also the Principle of an inner city charter school. (one PHD from a Liberian College, One from a French University) Her sister was the 1st female President of Liberia. So she brought real world, 1st person, actually lived it, credibility to every lecture. Most shocking to much of the class was that she didn't consider ANY of them To be "African-American", unless they had been there, were from there, or could trace their recent relatives to there..She pointed out that it was a HUGE continent made up of scores of countries, hundreds of tribes, and could tell simply by looking at individuals what PART they came from, what/where their heritage was. The same way any European can instantly tell a Swede from a Greek, or an Irishman from a Spaniard. (Something that hardly any american blacks ever even consider).That just as Europeans had been at war with other Europeans forever, the differing regional Tribal people of Africa had as well, with varying degrees of progression and regression of societal systems as the result. That "America" is the dream destination of ALL peoples all over the world, and that even being born poor in America is THE BEST headstart any individual in world history has ever had. That an American passport/Citizenship is the most valuable object in all of world history....and she explained over the course of the semester WHY that is so. Her strong accent just made ME listen harder, because she was soooo good I didn't want to miss anything. (I earned every bit of my A+)

I’ve never been to Africa but have known many Americans who served there in various capacities. All of them say the same thing - Africans have no use for American blacks. And we all know why.

FTA: "A century ago, Republicans could expect to get about 90% of the Black vote, which now of course is about 90% Democrat. Did the Democrats achieve that remarkable shift by doing nothing? Of course not -- they worked at it." No, they lied, they bribed people and they smothered the country with propaganda.

Lovely, and the ring of truth.

I have a house in South Portland, ME and am surrounded by immigrants from Central Africa. Yes their English is fractured but could not be more friendly or hard working. Father figures in every household so there is no crime and they are angry that there is only 24 hours in a day because they are always looking for work. God Speed to them.

I watch "Bob Hearts Abishola." I've wondered how accurate the attitudes of the Nigerian characters are, so based on this article, pretty darned accurate. My favorite scene is when Abishola had been called into a school counselor's meeting, along with another mother, as their sons had been fighting. Abishola, immigrant Nigerian, and the other mother, also Black but from Chicago, get into an argument about their sons. The White school counselor looks like a deer caught in the headlights - nothing in her training had prepared her for THIS conversation. It was glorious (as is Abishola's punishment for her son.)

good people, great story

The average African grew up in a society where there was no free stuff. You had to work, often at a very early age to get the necessities of life. The older generations also were likely to have been educated by mission and church schools, so have a good dose of Christianity to hand down. Unfortunately the schools and universities are becoming as woke as those in the west and the bad idea that they are "owed" something by society is starting to take hold.
