Ghana invites African Americans to "Come Home" to Africa

Ghana, considered a gateway of the brutal slave trade to the United States that began more than 400 years ago, is urging “unwanted” Americans of African heritage to resettle within its borders in the wake of the police killing of Minnesota resident George Floyd.
During a memorial and wreath-laying ceremony in honor of Floyd last Friday, Ghana’s Minister of Tourism, Arts, and Culture Barbara Oteng-Gyasi invited African Americans to “re-settle in Ghana if they feel unwanted” in the United States, the Independent Ghana news outlet reported.
Oteng-Gyasi reportedly declared:
Racism in America continues to be a deadly pandemic, for which for more than 400 years now, our brothers and sisters in the United States of America have yearned for a cure.
…
We continue to open our arms and invite all our brothers and sisters home. Ghana is your home. Africa is your home. We have our arms wide open ready to welcome you home. Please take advantage, come home build a life in Ghana, you do not have to stay where you are not wanted forever, you have a choice and Africa is waiting for you.

They should start a go fund me for it. I bet it would do well. They need to accept white people too though. Kind of racist to only let the black people live there. Plenty of white people that need to move out this country, especially the ones that said they would, but didn't.

This is the only way to make it right.

I'm willing to pitch in a few bucks for plane tickets to help them out... 
EDIT: The two weeks I worked in Accra, Ghana (the capital city) I saw what REAL poverty really is. I learned that almost 25% of the dwellings there don't have indoor plumbing and even fewer homes have dependable electricity.
And in the dwellings which do have running water, the water is usually not fit for human consumption. It's basically only used for washing clothes and flushing the toilet.
The hotel I stayed in advertised that it had its own internal water purification system which allowed its guests to take a shower in their rooms. But DON'T drink the water!

It would be amazing for America to not be the tip of the spear when it comes to bad news.

Portugal and Britain were the two most 'successful' slave-trading countries accounting for about 70% of all Africans transported to the Americas. Britain was the most dominant between 1640 and 1807 when the British slave trade was abolished.

Zero people take them up on the offer.

I'll bet not a single DemProgFilthShitLib threatening to leave the USA chooses Ghana as their destination.

Leave if you don’t Ghana be here!

African Americans wouldn't relocate to Ghana voluntarily if it was located 10 minutes from their current home and you paid for the U-Haul

If those who left agree to give up their passport and to never come back, I wonder what a go fund me page would raise?
