Never in my life had I seen so many Trump supporters, like the ones from West Africa Nigeria and Ghana specifically. Though many Kenyans also adored Trump, his words and policies even as he called African countries ‘shit holes.’

The words I’ve heard directly from Africans as I’ve lived in African countries comments and questions; from a Nigerian man living in Ghana: “All you Black Americans are on drugs and stealing, Why do you all hate White Americans? You should hate Africans they’re the ones that sold you into slavery!”

Same Nigerian man: “I Hate Black Americans all of you are lazy drug addicts!” Said to me in Greater Accra, Ghana January 23, 2021, it wasn’t the first hateful thing uttered from an African about Black Americans.
