3. I'm tired of the lackluster nightlife. Clubs closing at 2-3 with no establishment for after parties.
4. I'm tired of the senseless laws, there are too many laws in America, I can't even sneeze without getting questioned. I've travelled and it's the LEAST free place I've ever lived in. I swear the government monitors your bank account and if they see you not spending money for a month, somehow, someway you get a $300 parking ticket or traffic violation.
5. Too empty. Where are all the people? Besides New York we have no mega city.
6. Individualistic, small families, too many people with mental health issues. I don't know why people can't just be happy here.
7. Awkward and uptight (probably comes from all our laws), have you spoken to a mainstream American?
8. I feel like 95 % of the people I meet are social constructions and they pride themselves on being like everyone else.
9. Never been a fan of the looks that the British, Nigerian, Mexican, Chinese or these admixtures of people have. From the European world, I like Spain and Portugal. From Africa, Ghana, Kenya and Ethiopia. Asia, s Korea, Cambodia, phillapines. Latin world, brazil and Columbia. Call me vain but it seems we in the US got all immigrants from unattractive countries.

Just giving my 2 cents.

dont let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya

Yes Tribal house

Funny thing, the only African I ever met was Algerian and she was white as snow. The Chinese are investing heavily on Africa buying up huge tracts for farming. If the OP wants all blacks perhaps Nigeria would be good as they have Boko Harem an all black radical muslim tribe.
Good luck. Write.

Odd comment IMO and it shows how little you know about the diversity of the African continent.

A large amount of the population of Northern Africa would be considered by people in America to be "white."

Nigeria though is not the only place where darker skinned people live in Africa...

You're right I should have waited for the op's response. The rank of 12 in the world, doesn't seem all that alarming. However, the second sentence could be a motivator.

While your case may not be unique, there are those who are less fortunate and struggle, just to make a buck.

I hope you find what you are looking for.

I've already been to Accra Ghana once. Yea, African Americans come from Nigeria and are mixed with British, Scottish, and Irish blood mostly. Ghanians look very different. Small features, dark skin, robust and tight bodies, kinky hair. American blacks kind of look bleh compared to a lot of these Africans in their home countries, similar to how American whites look kind of bleh compared to their european counterparts.

In Africa African- Americans are likely just looked upon as just plain old Americans.

Moving to Africa. I've heard do not make eye contact with the locals. The same goes for the wildlife in the jungle.

Don't get eaten by a lion or murdered by a warlord. Tarzan is not there to protect you.
