I would encourage anyone to do what they think would make them happy. Move "home" if it is your desire. Heck, I would even give up my citizenship in the USA if I felt Africa was my "home", and not the USA. I am not exactly sure why Africa would give reparations to Africans, living in America, because of American slavery. I am from a white European descent, not sure why that matters, I personally never knew it as home, and certainly wouldn't call it home. It is in fact, this relatively new country that has afforded folks the opportunity to make the money that allows them to live anywhere they wish. If moving back "home" is the desire, I am not certain handpicking the best areas to live would give you the back "home" feel of your ancestors that were forced to leave, but I could be wrong I have never lived there.

One of the most beautiful things about having US citizenship is being able to call anywhere we would like "home" without the fear of retribution. It is also one's innate right to give someone a strange look for doing that if it doesn't align with one's own personal beliefs. Selling of slaves still occurs in Africa, albeit, a different form, the selling of young African girls into prostitution or sex-slavery, really sad given this is modern times. It seems it is perpetuated through the generations.

I know I know, I will never understand, never get it. I will say it is a sad part of history of our growing country, no one should be plucked from their country Asian or Black, Jewish or Irish and sold to another individual, not just the Trans-Atlantic slaves.

Don't want em to get your goat don't show em where it's hid.
