Definitely against it. Until more African leaders begin to mimic the posture & stance of Malema, Paul Kagame
I see it as problematic especially if most leaders are not mimicking the posture & stance of Malema, Kagame, etc.
We are a people who have enjoyed, despite struggles & challenges, full democracy. While there are 20+ democracies in Africa, the 1 true democracy is Mauritius. Everything else is either a “Flawed” or Hybrid democracy. Even with the 2 aforementioned rather progressive leaders Malema’s South Africa is considered flawed & Kagame’s Rwanda isn’t even categorized as such. Ghana is considered Flawed & Kenya isn’t even mentioned in the list I looked upon.
I suppose in an ideal world, recipients of Reparations would be looked upon as “strangers, yet familiar people, bearing gifts. But then, because of financial & cultural extremes, were highly likely to endure some forms of the enmity that Jews endured in pre & Nazi era Germany. So what I see, simply as a layman, again in the most ideal circumstances, is an agreement for an acquisition of land from the bordering nations of Chad, Algeria, Libya, & Niger. So you form an entirely new nation from within the borders of those nations. The US takes a cut, percentage of the Reparations payments , or “foots” the bill for this land mass, and “ideally” those African leaders pay those persons in the areas directly affected & show & reflect in their respective infrastructures the benefits of such sales of land. Good luck with getting the African Leaders to share those spoils. That might be attractive to all parties, nations, etc.
Finally even a disparate number of a 100,000 Blk Americans settling, roaming about, in separate countries yet interacting with Africans under any other circumstance is at the least an inconvenient threat to the common, everyday African and most definitely a threat to whatever political & social “balance” the continent willingly suffers at the present moment. The current disorder is beneficial across the continent to those in power & we would be a direct threat in significant numbers; 100k & above.
Some of us have been doing that. Blacks started going to Atlanta since the '90s because it was the 'new Black Mecca'. Before that it was Washington DC I heard. During WW2 and after southern blacks went to Chicago (and other northern cities) in droves when they heard so many Blacks were there.
