Back to Being Black in America (Travel Anxiety about the US) Being Black in the US vs Africa

[@Greatpacificnorthwesterner]

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. :(

[@sandindamae.iwantmetowin5652]

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!!!!

[@NdeniseColeman]

It’s Hard To Come Back To Parts Of The United States When You Live In Different Parts Too. I Experienced The Same Anxiety When I Moved Back Home To Chattanooga, TN After Living The Fun Exciting Fast-Paced Life In Chicago, IL

[@ingababy5196]

It is wonderful to live in a place where everybody looks like you.

[@Afrikaislife]

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.

[@irene8564]

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.

[@letjwil]

Powerful statement “Pulling back your blackness!” Looking forward to the day, to visit Ghana. The baggage is real here in the US, especially Texas.

[@kimmixerxs]

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.

[@maggielazarre78]

[@emeline9183]

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.

[@cam-cl4ec]

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.

[@ExpatLifeGhana]

@cam - We will be glad when all of this covid stuff for travel is over and thanks for the comment 😊!

[@eileenwatt8283]

Next time use a nasal saline spray about half hour before. It moistened the nasal mucosa. The test shouldn't be painful with that.

[@johnakpalu2118]

Yes. The stress of being black in America is real. I have a friend who lives partly in Ghana and partly in the US. He is on blood pressure medication in the US but does not need the medication when he travels to Ghana! His blood pressure becomes completely normal throughout his stay in Ghana.

[@tracyMcC]

Wow!

[@mawulekumitokponwey9086]

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.

[@copperessentialherbalprod9126]

Hello Tony: The "baggage" you refer to is sad but true. All of us carry the baggage. Some are more conscious and others subconscious. The strength in us keeps us focused and uplifted. 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
