Top 10 Reasons There Will Never Be A Black Ethnostate
1.) Haiti and Liberia – In the early 19th century, the American Colonization Society created Liberia as a colony for the free black population. From the outset, there was strong black resistance to colonization, and the abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison credited the black abolitionist David Walker for turning him against the idea. Liberia failed as a solution to the Negro Question before and after the War Between the States because so few free blacks were willing to voluntarily settle there.
After Haiti won its independence in 1804, several Haitian presidents were taken with the idea of offering land and citizenship to free blacks in the United States. After all, why would free blacks want to stay in the United States and live under racism and white supremacy when they could relocate to Haiti and put their skilled labor and capital to use in building the Black Republic, the beacon of freedom to black people around the world?
A handful of free blacks from the United States did settle in Haiti. Most of them returned to the United States because living under white supremacy in 19th century America was preferable to living under what has made Haiti into Haiti.
2.) Ghana – Ghana, a country in West Africa, was granted its independence by Britain in 1957. Millions of American blacks are descendants of slaves who were brought to North America from the Gold Coast. Independent Ghana has spent decades offering citizenship and various other incentives to American blacks to return to the Fatherland. As with Haiti, Ghana sees American blacks as a potential source of skilled labor and capital.
Ghana, Haiti, Liberia and several other African nations are already offering American blacks the chance to migrate to ready-made ethnostates. Many of these African countries like the Democratic Republic of Congo have at various times adopted Afrocentrism as a state policy. In Mobutu’s Congo, for example, the Congolese were required to adopt “authentic” African names and wear “authentic” African dress for several decades.
Whether it was Kwame Nkrumah’s Ghana or Mobutu Sese Seko’s Congo, these African nations haven’t attracted even a trickle of black immigrants from the United States. The outflow in the opposite direction has been vastly greater.
3.) African Immigrants – Many of you have probably heard the soundbyte that African immigrants are among the most highly educated immigrant populations in the US and Europe. There is a kernal of truth to this.
There is a reason that African immigrants are so unusually highly educated: African students who come to Europe and the US on student visas don’t want to go home after graduation. That is why they stay in college and pursue multiple degrees into their 30s and 40s. They would rather live under “white privilege” and rail against non-existent slavery and colonialism than return home to their now decolonized homelands.
More African immigrants have immigrated to the US since 1965 than were brought here involuntarily during the slave trade. Most of sub-Saharan Africa would already be here if immigrating to the US was as easy as crossing the Mexican border. The only reason Haiti hasn’t immigrated here en masse is because the US Coast Guard under George H.W. Bush adopted a policy that prevents them from doing so. Europe is fortunate to have the Sahara Desert as a geographic barrier to African illegal immigration.
