They left the US due to what they believed to be racist discrimination (whether it was real or just perceived is irrelevant as the end result is that they were motivated to move to escape it). Africa has its own avenue of discrimination: tribalism. There are over 3,000 tribes spread across the many countries of Africa. Some get along with other tribes, some get along with only certain other tribes and some get along with pretty much no other tribes. This not-getting-along aspect can range from social distancing/disapproval to outright killing (and depending on which tribe is doing the killing and where, it could be completely allowed by (or done by) the local government).

They have been raised to base their initial beliefs on whether or not someone is discriminating against them based on that other person being of a different race. How are they going to adapt when they are discriminated against by people who are of the same race?
