It's HARD going back to the states when you've been gone for a long time. There's so much division and craziness and guns everywhere. I don't think that stress will ever go away. :(

The answer is CLREAR….DON’T GO BACK TO US BABY, STAY PERMANENTLY IN AFRICA. AFRICANS LOVE AFRICAN AMERICANS. REMEMBER, WHITE PEOPLE EVERYWHERE IN THIS WORLD HAS INBORN HATRED FOR AFRICANS AND PEOPLE OF COLOR. IN AFRICAN COUNTRIES, AFRICANS ARE IN THE MAJORITY AND IN CONTROL OF THEIR COUNTRIES. IN SOUTH AFRICA, WHERE I LIVE WHITE RACISM CANNOT BE TOLERATED AND THOSE RACIST WHITES END UP GOING INTO OUR PRISONS. YOU ARE SAFE HERE IN AFRICA, LITTLE BABY….COME BACK AND LIVE IN AFRICA PERMANENTLY…WE LOVE YOU!!!!

Last month Tony picked me up from the airport, thank you. My trip was full of wonder and exploration and after nearly three weeks I too had anxiety over returning to the States. It was a massive stress reliever not having to worry about being black while in Ghana.

I will never know, what that really means, to have that kind of baggage. But I really hope for you, that your grown self-esteem will help you to keep a bit that "relaxness" while travelling. And I will never understand this crazy world. You are BEAUTIFUL people. Look flowers like roses: Some are white, some are red, some are orange, some are pink, and all are beautiful. And wow, Luke is a very smart guy. He has said something so important. Have a nice trip (hope, with good experiences). Greetings from Switzerland.

I remember, when I visited Ghana Accra in 2003. Walking down the lane; every one was Black and the uplifting feeling it instilled in me. It was within moments of this magnitude, that I fully realised the oppression of living in London, England UK.

Safe travels! Just focus on visiting the people you're looking forward to seeing, going shopping 🛍 to get the stuff you are missing (like grits!), going to the really good restaurants that you miss, and just have fun for your short stay. Don't worry about what other people think of you; it's more of a reflection on them anyway and where they are and has nothing to do with you.

I just returned from vacation in Accra and Kumasi. It was so great to be somewhere where my skin color is normal. A completely different feeling looking around and seeing representation of black people everywhere, and feeling not “other.” Then I had to come back to, well, all that stuff you said. One nice thing about the covid test coming back to US, at Kotoka they give you a choice of nasal or throat swab. Throat triggers your gag response, but less uncomfortable than their nasal swab which I had to do on arrival. That was super painful as I have a small nose, and I wound up with a sinus headache the entire first night I was there.

It is so difficult to unpack the comments that you made about going back to America after being in Ghana for so long. I was recently in Togo for three weeks visiting family. I never worried about my blackness, just that I look different from the Togolese people. I am 5’ 9 and built more like a large Nigerian, so I stick out. When I open my mouth, it is confirmed that I am different. With all of that said, I still would rather deal with that than deal with the lifetime baggage that comes with being a Black man in America. We plan to eventually spend the majority of our time in Africa, coming back to the states to handle business and deal with health issues if they come up. We are torn between moving to Ghana and moving to Togo where my wife’s family is. Ghana would be less complicated because we don’t have the language barrier to deal with or the infrastructure issues that Togo has. Our only real downside with choosing Ghana is we will be totally on our own. I love your show and love you guys! Your honesty and relatability is a real plus. Continue to keep it real and you will have a fan for life! One day we will hopefully meet. Take care.

We do not start our day saying, woe is me--I am black in America. We thrive regardless of all our oppressions. Stay safe my brother and sister. Do your business and return safely. CNF

Hi Tony and Ayo. Good to see guy guys. Talking about going back to the US with all that's going on is certainly a concern. My wife went back at the end of October and got Covid a week after that. She sent me her Covid results and you just can't miss the word "POSOTIVE" plastered right on top of the results paper in red! The threat is really real folks! I'm also going to visit for 2 weeks at the end of December, but I'm not extremely worried as I've taken the Moderna vaccine. I'm still going to be following all the precautions though. Anyway, have a Covid-free trip to the US and back. Love you guys!

Hey you guys, good to hear from you all again. I would like to know, is this your first time out of Ghana, since you moved there? Do you have to take that 24 hour test, I heard that's what they wanted to start to implement? That's the part that have me nervous. And also when I returned from Ghana, and I was only there for 2 weeks, but when I returned, it was like I had a difficult time breathing this air, like it was sharp or something, and my body temperature was off. Had to put on the heat. So dress warm. It's a big difference from here in the states and that tropical weather. But then you probably already know this.

Good luck on your travels! The violence is a very real concern but the one place that police typically do actually protect are the touristy/hotel areas. So long as you stick to the Fairfied Suites or something you should be fine. And it's only a brief trip and you should be ok.

Oh and a follow up: would you be willing to make a video about your travels to and from the US when you get back? Sort of like a before/after? I know you've spoke at length about the difference between the US and Ghana but it'd be cool to see what you have to say after a trip like this.

Great video. But would just like to add that plenty of European Americans like myself, also others, get the really scary issues going on in the US, which include racism but also lots of other problems. I have no illusions about the US and my husband and I are also looking to leave.

The only place I feel I have to be black is on KZbin. There have been a lot of changes in the United States since Covid. Not, to say racism have going away. To put it like this, America have lost a lot of people do to Covid. I can feel the the difference.

Wow, hearing African Americans say how afraid they are living in the US makes me sad. I am African American and hubby and I are in our late 50s. We raised three children in the US and had the opportunity to live abroad in several countries including Cameroon Africa. Our interaction with the police here in the US has been very little (2 or 3 speeding tickets over 30 plus years). I don’t know anyone personally who has been shot. We have lived in great neighborhoods both in Florida and Virginia. Please tell your son that you do need a permit/card to carry a gun in the US. I cannot imagine being so afraid to live here.

Next time visit South Africa you will be shocked and at the same time be proud of what can be achieved by black nation when they put all efforts in it. Try Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, Pretoria, Port Elizabeth, Knysna. These 6 cities will make you proud to be a black person. Come and spend a week or two in SA you won't regret it, instead you will be proud to behold the strides made by an African countries.
