According to Vanguard, 50 Afro-American are in Benin to trace their roots.

The tourists, who arrived Benin from California, United States of America (USA), were entertained by the Benin Cultural Troupe and treated to delicious local African dishes, including palm oil fruits soup (banga), blended vegetable (black) soup, owo soup, pounded yam and agidi (corncake) among others.

Speaking to journalists on the reason for the visit, Mr. Andy Ehanire, a representative of Jemi Alade, organisers of the tour, said the Americans were on a rediscovery visit to trace their root. He added, “They are coming on a pilgrimage to rediscover the home of their ancestors from where they were taken away more than 400 years ago. It is an emotional visit

They don’t even look fresh and are probably the ignorant types who use the N-word freely.
They should go back to the land of their slave masters.

You sound stupid. You should be glad an American would even want to visit your country. Everyone there is trying to get out. You’d kill someone to be able to live in the land of the slave master.

Those women look too old to be ignorant N-word users. Americans are not like Africans. ALL kinds of trying try to get to America-rich, poor, educated, uneducated, pregnant, celibate, young, old. Only the most open minded Americans travel off the continent, especially to search their roots. That takes a great deal of intellect.

If I were to go trace my ancestors roots it would be to thank God for removing my ancestors from there so I could have the privilege of being an American.

THANK YOU, ANCESTORS!!!!
