I feel for the African Americans. Am in a relationship with one. It's sometimes overwhelming. They suffer from racism where they are born. They are happy when they come. Yet when doing errands here, they also face the challenges of being recognised as Americans from their look and then having to pay higher prices. And then the moment they make new friends here with local people, the later are mostly requesting for money money and help about how to move to America.

Also, you must re-evaluate what you believe “AID” to be. The U.S. government agency USAID is not about “philanthropic AID”. It stands for “United States Agency for International Development”. So “AID” means obtaining access to foreign trade, commerce, markets and basically making MONEY. Stay discerning. ❤️💫🌍
