Each year, over 400,000 Africans come to the US on some kind of visa, and some 20,000 are naturalized!!

What is wrong with these people? Don't they realize that this is just a sick, racist society which really hasn't evolved from its slaveholding roots??

I recently had the opportunity to spend an hour in a car with a man who came to the US from Ghana six months ago. (The parking lot attendant lost my key, and he drove me home to get my spare, then back again.)

We talked about his expectations on coming here to the US, and he acknowledged that things are quite what he expected. He said he thought everyone in America was rich and thought he'd be doing much better.

His family is all still in Africa, except his brother. I asked him if he ever thought about going back, and he just said "No. This is my home now."

I guess no one is blinder than he who will not see.
