I have a black American friend who went to Africa and he was like, "Oh, man - I am not African." He was really culture shocked. As a foreigner living in the State I actually find that is true more generally - most black folk here have no idea how AMERICAN they are. The rest of the world doesn't see them primarily as "black", but rather as American.

When flights to Africa drop down from 4 digit prices I’ll hella be there

I'm African, live in Johannesburg, South Africa and trust me Visa issues are a nightmare. I honestly don't have the time of day to get a yellow fever shot to go to Nigeria. Like really?!?!?!?!?!?! Also, just like for you, travel within Africa is very expensive. My trip to Zambia (from SA) cost about 2 times as more than my return trip to Spain (departing from Joburg). Travel within Africa is just expensive and the governments in charge don't seem to be too keen to change things.

Blacks in America totally have lost their roots. That's why they call entire Africa their homeland even though Africa is not a country or an ethnic thing at all.

Lol I haven't even been to that many states in the US. How am I supposed to afford going abroad. Traveling is a privilege. Lots of ppl don't realize that.

I went to South Africa alone last July for my 40th birthday! I went through Smarttours for under $2100 everything was included. Amazing experience.. I plan to travel more in Africa soon.

Travelled to Tanzania recently and loved it. Felt at home.

I've often seen Europeans on Youtube bash Americans for not having passports and travelling abroad but they don't realize the average European has like three times as much paid time off as Americans and their employers are just much more lax about work in general, plus It's much cheaper for them.

Um... Black Americans barely travel at all so if they do they go somewhere affordable. When flights to Africa become as cheap as going to Europe more people in general will travel to Africa

Blacks in the US have been completely uplifted by living in a white managed societies. Blacks should realize that Africa is their actual level. Blacks in the US owe a huge debt of gratitude for being allowed to live in white managed societies.

it becomes costly when they notice you are a foreigner, same happened when I went to india, am from Ghana, Accra

This is important. Every time I've visited the continent I've had an on-ground, local network or the purse strings of clients. This is a priveledge most people (White or Black) do not have. It urks me that the people crying foul that Black Americans visit aren't actively looking for ways to improve infrastructure or create affordable opportunities.

I am african and live here in Africa (nairobi, kenya) and all she has stated is facts... The rich politicians family are the one who have those privileges of traveling and immigrating.. I can't a visa for anything I am bound here in my country coz I am denied visa everywhere coz of my bank statement

The reason I don't travel to Africa because, I can barely travel to the next state let alone Africa. one day when I get my money right I absolutely will be traveling to South Africa and other countries in the continent.

I got exhausted listening to this vlog but it was a great exhaustion. You made it fun and packed with useful information! You have a new subscriber!!!
