Black Americans Have Turned Accra Ghana into Atlanta Party Scene?

For food it shouldn’t be forced. People should be able to choose. Soul food is not something I’ll eat everyday. Once in a while. Greasy, high sodium and high amounts of sugars in western foods generally is what I stay away from.

@soinda87 I've seen how some west African dishes are made and A LOT of oil is used to make bases. Mentioning unhealthy soul food was a slight.

This happens in every major city with significant diasporas. The relationship between Ghana and African Americans goes far back to the 50s and nothing will change this significantly. However, I will advise our brothers and sisters from the diaspora especially the African Americans, to tone down as Ghanaians find some of them too loud and easily run to KZbin to express exaggerated concerns.

[@intelligencehunter42]

Part of the reason I avoided coming to Ghana when relocating from the Carbbean is am looking for authenthic cultural and social experience for myself and future family. Based on my research, I found this very same thing, Americans coming with their very american attitude, especially when building and doing business. As Afrikan Superstar said, they mostly do not integrate. They seem to have a sense of entitlement to things they are accustomed to over in the US. This seemed to me as the creation of an African coloured New York, not in line with traditional values at all. To those who share the sentiment and are looking to come, take some time to travel around the Eastern and Southern regions. I found some peace in Zimbabwe and Botswana, but there are other places as well with a high retention of a morally valuable society, such as Uganda. I was also prepared to live tough and do plenty walking, not very different from the Caribbean. So it depends on how you are oriented. If you are living to 'turn up', you can do that anywhere in the world. When coming here, let us do our best to contribute to the maintenance of the hghly valuable cultural structures that our ancestors started with.

Some say have a Ghanaian friend do the negotiating in the markets, get familiar with the land buying process i.e. land registry, do your due diligence in vetting the builder/contractors, etc. As a grown man, I can't see myself being ok with getting a shake down by the roadside without it escalating into a fight.

In my observation of the diasporans that visited Ghana I find the Jamaicans to be the most respectful and deep in their desire to learn and be part of the culture. African Americans are the most outgoing and fun to be around. They are quick to make friends and try very hard not to offend. Unfortunately they break/bend the rules the most times- usually unintentionally. Everybody will tell you the Brits are the most problematic. They are very arrogant, condescending,entitled and quick to look down at the culture or the people.(of course not all that way). A couple of years ago I asked an Ashanti Chief what they were doing to attract the diasporans to visit Ashanti region and his answer jolted me. He asked "Why should we compete to get Brists and Americans to visit Kumasi when we haven't gotten even half of Asantes in Ivory Coast to visit?".

@robinsonfamily3948 Black Americans who went to GHANA are there on their own dime. They are spending their own money so who is ANYONE to tell them what to do as long as they are not breaking the law. Ghanans nor any other Africans can say one thing. They are committing crimes in the U.S. as well as living off of Black Americans TAX DOLLARS. Everyone who come across that border is on a welfare program. Yet they didn't put one dime into the tax system. Last time I checked Ghana's done nothing for the. But the locals are going to tell them they must interact with them and how they should enjoy themselves? It amazes me how we are willing to thrash our own people while looking past the actions of others. Africans including people from Ghana commit plenty of crimes in the U.S, just like other immigrant groups. I have never heard that Black Americans were in anyone countries committing crimes to the extent the country banned them from coming or they were filling the prison systems. So whatever mess you're talking about, you better include Africans and every group coming or came across that southern border of flew in on a visa. Black Americans are grown people, and as long as they are not breaking the law and harming people, they can do what they want. Are the GHANAN telling the CHINESE, INDIANS, AND LEBANESE what to do? I'm sure they have parties. Are they telling when when and how to TURN UP? It looks like a lot of GHANAN are turning up a little too much in the U.S.!

Absolutely HATE how all the ppl from the north and west of the USA are moving to the south trying to turn it into the hell that they ran from. There have even been reports claiming that millennials and Gen z do not want to own homes they want to live in apartments!!! A bold face lie! Especially for those in the south. All of the cranes in the sky in our once cozy quiet areas really saddens me. Leave New York and Cali where they are! They are failed stated when it comes to quality of life and community!

Please, stop worrying about Ghanaians losing their Ghana culture. Ghanaians love their culture and this is the most important thing. There are millions of Ghanaians in the West. Many families in Ghana have family members in the West and they come home frequently because of family and because Ghana is peaceful. Ghanaians are proud of their culture and they are open to add good things to their way of life. Culture must develop. We cannot say that our ancestors did it this way or that way, and so we are going to do it the same way. There are good and bad things in every culture and we must keep and develop the good aspects of the culture. Ghanaians in the West have several cultural organizations to promote their culture, traditional rites eg. traditional marriage, naming ceremony, funeral celebrations, etc.

Western thinking is problematic all over the world. I saw signs of that when I visited Accra. If we genuinely want to connect to our people in the motherland, we have to go over there with sincere love for our people as people from the Diaspora. We have to have that bridge and I think that requires us to know the culture in Ghana. I'm trying to learn Twi from my Ashanti family in Kumasi.

I hear you Bruv but regrettably culture is the victim of globalization. The Internet is the great equalizer and I suppose businesses and their owners adjust to stay competitive. You cannot blame your customers and tourists for their preferences. Westerners are not the enemy what you're discussing is the natural consequence of growth. To stay competitive, communities outside of Accra will have to invest in infrastructure to attract growth. (The terminology that is used, is the leveling or flattening of the world.) If communities believe their identity has been lost or diluted, they must find creative ways to educate their children and others. Black Americans have similarly complained that the canon of American history is incomplete without our contribution. It's the responsibility of our parents to educate the new generation, not those in power. We can all do better: Westerners can be more attuned to local customs and indigenous communities more aware of how best to meet us at the point of our needs.

The culture in Ghana or Africa isn’t being lost lol, it is growing or redeveloping. No culture, ethnicity or anything at all stays the same over time. Things have to change, adjust and adapt to the times. If anyone want’s Ghanaian or African culture to remain exactly the same, they are fighting a losing battle. The Africans of the 1800’s would say the same thing about the Africans of the 1900’s -that they changed the culture. A Ghanaian born in 1950 will also say that a Ghanaian born in 1980 is less cultured. African culture isn’t dying and will never die, the evidence is right in front of us. 400 years of colonialism and violent abuse for Africans to change and conform to others didn’t work. Even places like the Caribbean where they have been disengaged with mainland Africa for hundreds of years they still hold strong remnants of African cultures. Black Americans are also distinctly culturally different from other Americans and still have African ways. Whether it’s the food, vibes, hairstyles, expressions etc. Every culture adjusts to each new generation and the core fundamentals still largely remain the same. If people want African culture to remain the same they will have to completely isolate Africa and take away all their technology and all the advancements that were made; and even then, it would still fail because younger Africans will still develop new ideas.
