Something that has really been on the forefront of my mind lately is my place as a black person born in the United States, as a part of the African diaspora. If the US is a white country, does it really make sense for me to be here right now? Truth be told, I'm not sure I want to be. I've daydreamed about living in Africa since I was a kid, as I feel many other black people have.

I'm aware there are quite a few black people who are moving to Ghana at the present moment, as it is a country that is apparently very accepting of displaced black people who want to return to their roots. The way they are welcomed and received feels so warm and beautiful. Not all African countries and areas are accepting of blacks born in the US, and don't want us intermingling with their tribes, which is understandable.

I know it can take a lot of time and resources and learning to move to a different country. It's no small thing by any means. Especially if you want to do so safely and comfortably. And I can't afford to make a halfway thought out, rash decision. But it is something I find myself thinking about often, and could potentially see myself doing.

As a Satanist, you belong wherever you are happiest, safest, and most prosperous. If you want to go back to Africa, then be very careful to pick a safe and good home there. But I don't want you to feel like you shouldn't be in America, or that you aren't welcome here. If America is the place that is safest and best for you to raise your family, then as a Satanist, it might be best for you to stay. :D

Could you please elaborate a bit on why certain places turn other Africans down? I heard of this before, tribe is a strong factor. Do they believe US Blacks come as a dilluting problem?

It's kind of hard for me to explain but there has always been some sort of tension between black people in Africa and black people in the United States. A lot of Africans will basically treat most black people from the US with contempt. A lot of them see us as lost and ignorant, and too far disconnected from our heritage beyond repair. I've even noticed it with some Africans who live here. I think it's changing now but it's still there.

I do have a lot of pride for the city I was born in! :D I've moved to quite a few different places and that much still hasn't changed. And for right now, staying where I am is definitely in my best interest, but I'm currently at a place where I'm trying to logically work out where I should place my focus in my life, if that makes sense.

Hi, I just had this thought to check on you. How are you holding up and doing?

Thank you for asking, physically I'm great, mentally I have been pretty low and not at my best.

This calling to your roots is honestly a very spiritual thing for sure, it's not only racially inclined but also soul inclined in where you called home in a past life or past lives, obviously for you you lived in Africa in past lives.

I'm white but I still feel myself being called to my own spiritual roots as well. I was a pagan knight in the Knights Templar (Didn't care for xianity back then and absolutely despised it despite being titled under 'their order'. I saw it for it's corrupted crap and so did others, people were getting hurt and killed over it and it wasn't right.). We had parties in secrecy where we worshipped an idol of baphomet, and these parties were all about good joy and fun, we would chat, hang out and enjoy each other's company.... among 'other things'. This is the reason to my drawing to the image of baphomet and that's where my connection with Satan came from in this lifetime.

Despite how much I've always told myself I love the big city life and things like technology, I'm very drawn to the country Wales of Great Britain, it's that country with the red dragon on it's flag, the flag that causes such delightful controversy amongst the xian crowd there. (Unfortunately this red dragon was removed by xian influence from certain things because it was 'evil' and not 'something to be recognized for'.... so they replaced it with a lion. tch.). I believe Wales was where I was in my time as a knight in the middle ages.

I'm glad that you're soul is open enough to feel this calling to your roots with this desire to go home, it's a very good sign. I've considered moving to Wales and distancing myself from the chaos of the modern cities here, Wales just feels like home to me, but the problem is it's almost completely overrun by xians and muslims today, which absolutely disgusts me. Some pre-xian things still live though in some form or other and there have been acts against the xian churches of wales by nonconformists in the past that have been successful, however minor.

I might not be able to return to the lands I'm called to, but you can if it's what you truly want. Just be smart about it.
