Just curious. Did the thought, the idea...even a passing notion, to visit The Motherland even cross your mind? After all, the reason Europe and North America look like they look while huge swaths of Africa are mired in poverty, disease, political and economic dysfunction is because of hundreds of years of European/North American exploitation, imperialism, colonialism, neocolonialism and enslavement of Africans and their still prodigious natural resources.

I see more than enough of "Europe" every time I walk out of my front door.
