The 91-year-old writer said in 2016 that he had torn up his U.S. green card and renounced his American residency in protest at the first election of President Donald Trump.

Ok, so the U.S. is so bad, he shouldnt have a problem with it. Stay where you are. Good.

"I have no visa, I am banned obviously from the United States and if you want to see me, you know where to find me," he said, referring to people who planned to invite him to events in the U.S.

I have a feeling those "visits" are going to dry up. No one is "visiting" Nigeria.

Since he doesnt like the U.S., he can keep his ass where he is.

But I bet he is getting a retirement from the U.S. in some way. I bet he wont be "renouncing" that.

If you knew you had ancestors in Africa, wouldn't you want to visit them?

I have "ancestors" one city over. A father and mother, several cousins and aunts.

If I didnt grow up with them, for me, I dont know them. In the black community, the word "ancestor" is used alot. It's for people who are running from the truth, or want to be connected to type of "ancestor" for financial or conversational gain.

Once, several of my closest blood family members did a DNA test. It revealed most of what we already knew. All three of them, the results were the same or close to the same. On all of them, it came back to 2% to 5% native American.

Black folks LOVE to be able to claim they are American Indian. I kept saying to them, but we dont KNOW any indians and never came up on a reservation. One of them really didnt care, started wearing a feather in her hair and went on about it for years. It was hilarious.

In reality, about 40% was from West Africa and another 40% was from Europe, which did make sense, because we are direct decendents of our white slave owner. We have known this as a family for generations. But let some black folk find out "we have indian in our family" and you cant tell them nothing.

It's disingenuine, it's false.

If you reach back far enough, you can find "ancestors" probably anywhere. But to parade around like you were in their culture is stupid.

It's just like those people saying "Hey Neighbor", even though they live on the other side of the city. Most are only doing it to gather resource opportunities and take advantage as much as they can. In my opinion, if you dont live next door to me or within half a mile, you arent a "neighbor".

Therefore, I say all that to say, unlike alot of blacks, I claim no claim on Africa, England or the Blackfoot indian nation, I didnt grow up there, so that, I'm not.
