INFORMATION ABOUT GHANA'S YEAR OF RETURN
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_of_Return,_Ghana_2019
"The Year of Return, Ghana 2019 is an initiative of the government of Ghana that is intended to encourage African diasporans to come to Africa (specifically Ghana) to settle and invest in the continent. It was formally launched by President Nana Akufo-Addo[1] in September 2018 in Washington, D.C. as a program for Africans in the diaspora to unite with Africans. The year 2019 is symbolic as it commemorates 400 years[2] since the first enslaved Africans touched down in Jamestown, Virginia in the United States.[3] The program also recognizes the diaspora's achievements and sacrifices in the time since that event.[4] The Ghana Tourism Authority and the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture have lined up a slate of activities in “celebration of the resilience of the African spirit.”[5][6]

Objectives
To make Ghana a key travel destination for African Americans and the rest of the African diaspora.
To rebuild the lost past of these 400 years.
To promote investment in Ghana and foster relationships with African Americans and the African diaspora."...

"With all love and respect, I would like to tell my African Family that when you invite us to return home on one hand and then call us foreigners on the other, it can be painful or even disrespectful in our eyes. We did not choose to leave. We were sold into slavery to Europeans. When we go back "home" please understand that alot of us have pain and trauma. Choose your titles for us wisely. I can not be your brother when it comes to investment but an Obroni when it comes to integration.

From https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=obroni posted by asemkonkron April 13, 2013
"obroni
Obroni is the Ashanti (or more specifically, the Twi language) word for a white person, but sometimes used to refer to foreigners in general. The word is often used by Ghanaians in the diaspora, when speaking amongst themselves, as a "code" word for "white man".

Despite the (relatively) widespread and casual use of the word, its origins are not entirely benign. The word "obroni" derives from the word "Abro fuo", which means trickster, "one who frustrates" or "one who cannot be trusted".

It is possible that the word arose during initial contact between the Ashanti and Europeans. Coincidentally, the word for "white person" used by the Ga (another tribe in Ghana), is Blofonyo (or Blofo) for short. This word in the Ga language, similarly derives from "Ablo fo nyo", which again means "one who frustrates", or a trickster in the Ga language."....

"They don’t mean anything negative when they refer to people of the diaspora as “foreigners “ the term only means you don’t live in Ghana. Sometimes what we perceive people are saying is not at all meant the way we think. I guess some things are lost in translation. They have a genuine love for people of the diaspora just listen to the guy in the green shirt."

"If it helps Africans who live abroad get treated the same when they visit their families.. their kids are called foreigners.. in their minds, it means you’re coming from abroad, it doesn’t mean they don’t recognize you as one of them..
My advice to you is: don’t wait for Africans on the continent to validate you as An African. You are African, and need no validation. As of trauma, the same applies to Africans on the continent, they know very little about themselves as well.. so don’t feel you need their validation.. it’s your journey of reconnecting with yourself, and you decide how you want to go about it.
I know for sure all Africans are happy about this plan, even though only Ghana is concerned by it, we’re all very happy to see Africans going back home.. it means as much to us, as it does to you."

"@NAKMEEZYCaribbean and other people are a aware what the term foreigner means. In Jamaica for instance when someone say you a foreigner it's usually a form of respect they trying to show you. They will even call a local guy who never left his country a foreigner, because of the way he dress, the way he talks, or if he got a lot of money. So guys try and understand the culture you in before you start criticizing. Stop expecting everyone (as the typical American does) to understand your culture while you don't know anything about there's. If you all did you would understand what they trying to convey when they say "foreigners"."

"And as far as expecting people to know our culture, the YOR was marketed as a cultural (actually an investment scam) journey commemorating 400 years blah blah blah. So i will NOT forget MY culture and replace it with a culture that is rooted in tradition in a modern world. THIS is why the African Continent is behind the rest of the world.

"NAKMEEZY The reality is we are foreigners for a moment. We do have passports from another country and need a visa.....born in another land. Yes, West Africa is our mother land and we were forced to leave but it took a few centuries for the West to try and break those ties. It will be some time to mend those ties tightly once again. Remember we have many African Americans and African Caribbean who still DON’T see themselves as Africa. So yeah, we will see many Ghanaians calling us foreign. Don’t take offense. The mentality will die eventually with all the positive moves we are making."

"NAKMEEZY - I was in Accra in January 2019 for two weeks. I returned on January 10, 2020, and plan to be here until April 15. I was referred to as white man (by American standards, I am dark skinned)on a couple occasions during my two visits home. The first time I thought it was funny, and I went on to explain to the person that use of such a term is problematic. Just a few hours ago, my Ghanaian friend referred to a brown-skinned woman as “not black.” I told him that she was black. He tends to refer to people who are not very dark in complexion as nonblack. I advised him that if he wants to refer to a black person’s complexion, he should say light skinned, brown skinned, etc. Saying they’re not black can be offensive."

"Before one make comment on this video, you need to be aware that an average street vendor have nearly zero knowledge of history. And if they do, it's lopsided. Technically, African-Americans are still "foreigners" in their eyes. Someone who is aware of the history won't solely see it that way. It's just like having a non-enlightened American on the street of New York give comment on national issue. Now consider the response of the guy with a college degree among them. You see how different it is. So, it's better to put things in context."

Why don’t people just say we are Americans now and have our own thing but we understand we come from Africans and Africa ? (Not being rude, just a serious question)"

"Ashley _ the answer is simple... we were never considered Americans... even after building this country. That’s why it makes me laugh. Even when people who are second generation American go back to jamaica... they consider them somewhat foreign despite their undeniable roots to the island. But the source of us all is Africa (I know some Caribbean’s may be Indian, Native, White, and Chinese too)

The second piece is most Africans in the Caribbean... much like in the Americas(north and south) were brought here by force and not choice.

Though we embrace the lands we are on now...that does not mean we should forget the home our ancestors once longed to go back to but could not due to their enslavement.

One should not take this video as a means to say Africans do not consider us family, he only spoke to a handful of people and I know tons of Africans who know the importance of us coming together... as Africa continues to suffer based on the European division created and Black people in North America, South America, and the Caribbean....we need to focus on Global Unity and Unity alone."

"I believe it’s the American privilege that expects people living in a different continent to know OUR Black American history. Why should we expect Ghanaians to know black American history when it took social media to have a resurgence of Pan Africanism? That’s just now. In the 21st century.

We (black Americans) as descendants of west Africa have many cultural similarities to Ghanaians and other west African countries. But let’s not forget, we have forged our own history as Black Americans. We are in lots of ways different from Ghanaians. Hell, Ghanaians are different from Nigerians and so on!

In my opinion, diaspora Africans shouldn’t take offense to being called tourist in Africa. The same has been happening in the Caribbean for ages."

But I agree - too many people don’t know & wont take initiative to learn their history. I grew up in the U.K. where they would avoid that subject & I got frustrated as a teen - so I used the libraries & internet. I learned from then that I can’t rely on a white teacher to teach me my history so I’ll teach myself. That was back in early 2000s. There’s no excuse not to know with all the resources & technology people have access to nowadays."

"To the ones who are a little peeved at being called foreigners: You are. I have been blessed to travel to this beautiful country as the first in my family in generations to set foot on the Continent. However, one thing I was confronted with was the myriad cultural differences. I was not raised in an Akan family, or an Ewe family, or a Ga family, etc. I saw many similarities, but had plenty to learn about various African cultures.

I don’t think they are saying “foreigners” to be disrespectful, but just recognizing that we non-Ghanaians of all stripes are likely to have to have languages, customs, and ways that are not native to Ghana. It is healthy to recognize that and to recognize one’s own heritage as an Black American, Caribbean, Afro-European, etc."

"Is it just for the money or business wise,do they really want us to return??? How about the ordinary so-called Black Americans who are struggling here, would like to go back to their home Country ,experiencing freedom, to say bye to racism??? Will they be embraced and say welcome home??? Myself, I don't buy it, my returning will not proclaim by man, but by the Most High who himself sent me into slavery.If we were children of the land, so, why do we need Citizenship to stay? Right here in Haiti, the Constitution allow any black man to come and live wisely. My Ancestors called it, the land of the free, as soon as a black person foot step on it, you are free no matter what.I do have a sentiment, one day the same ordinary people who love to see more to come just to cherish their business, will one day, have a clash with the so-called foreigners, when they begin to soar high into the sky of Ghana, as it had been before headed them to the shore, the door of no return. For correction,my land of return is Jerusalem and not Africa. I hope Ashanti/ Igbo/ Yoruba/ Bantu/ Mende/ Fente/ Ewe/ Lemba/ etc... know that as well."
