@Blursty There is quite a lot of Black American tourism to Liberia, maybe that's an example of what you are talking about.
Is there really? I don't know anything about that, good for them to experience some freedom.
Liberia was founded by Black Americans. It even uses the US Dollar

Yes, Liberia was colonized by freed slaves from America, and their descendants formed a power elite there until the civil wars.
It's a fascinating history. At one point America had to step in because Britain wanted to investigate reports that the ex-slaves were massacring some of the local African population.
Cool. There's a lot of place they could go to escape American persecution.
