Ghanaians are proud of their culture and they are open to add good things to their way of life. Culture must develop. We cannot say that our ancestors did it this way or that way, and so we are going to do it the same way. There are good and bad things in every culture and we must keep and develop the good aspects of the culture.

But the locals are going to tell them they must interact with them and how they should enjoy themselves? It amazes me how we are willing to thrash our own people while looking past the actions of others. Africans including people from Ghana commit plenty of crimes in the U.S, just like other immigrant groups. I have never heard that Black Americans were in anyone countries committing crimes to the extent the country banned them from coming or they were filling the prison systems. So whatever mess you're talking about, you better include Africans and every group coming or came across that southern border of flew in on a visa. Black Americans are grown people, and as long as they are not breaking the law and harming people, they can do what they want. Are the GHANAN telling the CHINESE, INDIANS, AND LEBANESE what to do?

I only think about partying on the last three days of my visit. I actually have more fun visiting villages and historic sites and learning more about my fellow African culture and history despite my vast knowledge and interest in African history and culture. I find it fascinating that Black Americans are just going to Ghana to party rather than doing what this sister said i.e., using the opportunity to learn and associate with the locals. Above all, there is one thing she said which I find troubling. That is, trying to create some sort of a class system that would detriment the locals. That, I take issue with and find absolutely dangerous. We don't want another Liberia in Africa.

The business networking conferences, what Idris Elba, Boris Kudjo amongst other AAs are doing by getting AAs who come to Ghana during the year to learn about their roots. 😡 which African country is more westernized than Kenya and South Africa? Ghana only has an influx of AAs mainly during the Xmas season. Kenya and SA is currently flooded with AAs. Tones of AA KZreadr content creators in Kenya advocating for more AAs to flood the already gentrification Nairobi. So Mr shayshay what are you talking about exactly? Most of the AAs that come to celebrate Xmas are long gone now with the exception of a few. Mehh respect yourself and keep Ghana out your 🐽 mouth. Your hate is smelling and off one AA just left Ghana after checking out the historical sight of slavery and he will be relocating back home. Suck on that gayshay. 😊

Oshay! Thanks! Yeah!

This happens in every major city with significant diasporas. The relationship between Ghana and African Americans goes far back to the 50s and nothing will change this significantly. However, I will advise our brothers and sisters from the diaspora especially the African Americans, to tone down as Ghanaians find some of them too loud and easily run to KZread to express exaggerated concerns.

Hopefully within the next ten years things will improve 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿I have faith, we will get there in the end.

Oshay, so it is Ghanaian kids from the Diaspora who created Afrochella, now Afrofuture to give them the opportunity to party at Christmas. I will not blame it on African-Americans. You are right, it is the Ghanaian and Nigerian Americans/British who are turning up. They bring their African-American and Black British friends with them to party. Honestly, this is an old tradition. It was distasteful for someone to twerk at the Cape Coast castle so some of those attitudes should be discouraged, especially at hallowed grounds. Black folks are however going to turn up no matter what.

Part of the reason I avoided coming to Ghana when relocating from the Carbbean is am looking for authenthic cultural and social experience for myself and future family. Based on my research, I found this very same thing, Americans coming with their very american attitude, especially when building and doing business. As Afrikan Superstar said, they mostly do not integrate. They seem to have a sense of entitlement to things they are accustomed to over in the US. This seemed to me as the creation of an African coloured New York, not in line with traditional values at all. To those who share the sentiment and are looking to come, take some time to travel around the Eastern and Southern regions. I found some peace in Zimbabwe and Botswana, but there are other places as well with a high retention of a morally valuable society, such as Uganda. I was also prepared to live tough and do plenty walking, not very different from the Caribbean. So it depends on how you are oriented. If you are living to 'turn up', you can do that anywhere in the world. When coming here, let us do our best to contribute to the maintenance of the hghly valuable cultural structures that our ancestors started with.

I rented a jeep and drove to the slave fortress and was stop by the police and my husband had to pay money twice. I'm good on not going back. I am a foundational black and indigenous American and proud of it.

I guess I romanticize the idea of repatriation, although I don't expect it to be without challenges, I wonder if there is a way of avoiding or minimizing the corruption & scamming. Some say have a Ghanaian friend do the negotiating in the markets, get familiar with the land buying process i.e. land registry, do your due diligence in vetting the builder/contractors, etc. As a grown man, I can't see myself being ok with getting a shake down by the roadside without it escalating into a fight.

Oshay honestly Ghana will never lose it's culture because our culture is ingrained in us the day we are born, Ghana is the only country in Africa that speaks its local dialect more than the colonial language. The issue of the December partying has been there since time memorial and is getting raves now because of the foreign exposure

I see Oshay has multiple channels doing great job. As a Ghanaian-born DC area resident, I’m happy to see you producing this type of content aimed at educating our people.

AIN'T NO MONEY TO BE MADE WATCHING A BUNCH OF PEOPLE FROM THE US, UK AND THE CARIBBEAN CRYING AT SOME BUILDING. GHANA IS DOING THE RIGHT THING AND THAT IS MAKING SOME MONEY

I hear you Bruv but regrettably culture is the victim of globalization. The Internet is the great equalizer and I suppose businesses and their owners adjust to stay competitive. You cannot blame your customers and tourists for their preferences. Westerners are not the enemy what you're discussing is the natural consequence of growth. To stay competitive, communities outside of Accra will have to invest in infrastructure to attract growth. (The terminology that is used, is the leveling or flattening of the world.) If communities believe their identity has been lost or diluted, they must find creative ways to educate their children and others. Black Americans have similarly complained that the canon of American history is incomplete without our contribution. It's the responsibility of our parents to educate the new generation, not those in power. We can all do better: Westerners can be more attuned to local customs and indigenous communities more aware of how best to meet us at the point of our needs.

Oshay, I might not agree with many of your opinions but your love understanding and concern for Africa is humbling.

This guy has no clue what he’s talking about. Ghanaian music and Afrobeats are playing 24/7. Most people are not even aware of the Americans in the city. Accra’s population is in the millions. This is absolutely untrue!

Diasporans who want to learn about Ghana culture and traditions must start from African Studies Institute, University of Ghana, Legon. Accra. The next important thing Diasporans must learn about is the land ownership (rental, or outright purchase) system. Diasporans must not start throwing monies around until they understand how and what the people are made of. Etc. Etc

The culture in Ghana or Africa isn’t being lost lol, it is growing or redeveloping. No culture, ethnicity or anything at all stays the same over time. Things have to change, adjust and adapt to the times. If anyone want’s Ghanaian or African culture to remain exactly the same, they are fighting a losing battle. The Africans of the 1800’s would say the same thing about the Africans of the 1900’s -that they changed the culture. A Ghanaian born in 1950 will also say that a Ghanaian born in 1980 is less cultured. African culture isn’t dying and will never die, the evidence is right in front of us. 400 years of colonialism and violent abuse for Africans to change and conform to others didn’t work. Even places like the Caribbean where they have been disengaged with mainland Africa for hundreds of years they still hold strong remnants of African cultures. Black Americans are also distinctly culturally different from other Americans and still have African ways. Whether it’s the food, vibes, hairstyles, expressions etc. Every culture adjusts to each new generation and the core fundamentals still largely remain the same. If people want African culture to remain the same they will have to completely isolate Africa and take away all their technology and all the advancements that were made; and even then, it would still fail because younger Africans will still develop new ideas.

This is why bleaching is an issue in Parts of Africa especially those that work with the west. Also why many African nations have the same economy that yts set up when they were colonizing them. Even now with all the warnings coming from blk ppl in the USA, Africans continue to strive for western ideologies and closeness.

And whilst there are definitely rotten apples let us also salute and commend African Americans in Ghana BUILDING and forming durable partnerships with Ghanaians such as Boris Kodjoe and the Full Circle Africa Economic Conference that assembled black and African excellence; Earn your Leisurd and the partnership they have with Kevin Prince Okyere and Culture Management Group owners of Afrochella who successfully relaunched as Afrofuture and have established a business incubation/ seed funding opportunity for Ghanaian entrepreneurs courtesy of a new partnership with Pharrel Williams. This is just scratching the surface of what is happening…….in all of these people came to party AND seek out investment opportunities.

The comparisons to what happened in Liberia a century ago is ridiculous. Ghana has had a strong educated socio economic “class” for a century. It’s insulting to even think that African Americans have the power to take over Ghana. They don’t have much interaction with middle income Ghanaians and love to look down on the local vendors and house help, so they think that they are superior.

In my observation of the diasporans that visited Ghana I find the Jamaicans to be the most respectful and deep in their desire to learn and be part of the culture. African Americans are the most outgoing and fun to be around. They are quick to make friends and try very hard not to offend. Unfortunately they break/bend the rules the most times- usually unintentionally. Everybody will tell you the Brits are the most problematic. They are very arrogant, condescending,entitled and quick to look down at the culture or the people.(of course not all that way). A couple of years ago I asked an Ashanti Chief what they were doing to attract the diasporans to visit Ashanti region and his answer jolted me. He asked "Why should we compete to get Brists and Americans to visit Kumasi when we haven't gotten even half of Asantes in Ivory Coast to visit?".

We really need to exercise some patience, Rome wasn’t built in a day. Black Americans will acclimate the longer they stay. For now they just wanna celebrate being free and back on the soil of their fore fathers
