    Do Africans in diaspora have to deal with racism and prejudices? Tell us your experience or experience of a person you know living in diaspora.

    I'm in South Africa. I was born here and I will die here in the land of my forefathers. My responsibility as an African is to make Africa great again. Our people should not be leaving Africa. This place is too beautiful. God has blessed us with good weather, good food and herbs of all kinds that heal our bodies. As Africans it is our job to better living conditions by creating jobs for our people.

    We Africans are a shame. Our descendants have ran away to all over the world. We are like a population of street kids who demand to be accepted in other people's homes/countries.

    Young people: Get your education abroad. Afterwards, GO HOME! Take your knowledge home and grow your nations! Whatever it is you like about those countries, you can create in Africa even more! Stop growing/building other nations. Grow your African nations, unless you are prejudiced against them, of course. None of those nations will appreciate your contributions more.

    In Africa, our political leaders are just fools ! The welfare of the people is never part of their priority other than just amassing wealth for themselves. Look at the many rich resources we have in Ghana yet our lives are still no better. So sad.

    5 year's ago i left the west and it was the best thing i did ...now I'm back home and helping my people in Africa...

    We Africans are too kind-hearted sometimes. I believe this has been our weakness for centuries. Especially when it related to dealing with the Europeans. Unfortunately not everyone views us as their equal. It's the hard truth. Let's use all opportunities we have and bring it back to our continent.

    I experienced a nasty act of racism in Spain, Cordoba. A whole set of seats in a train coach was abandoned because I WAS ON IT. That was the WORST moment of my life

    “No one is born hating another person Because of the color of the skin or background, or religion. People must learn to hate and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for loves come more naturally to the human heart than its opposite”- Nelson Mandela 🙏
