A lot of black diasporas 
and African American strags have a weekly post about how to "get in touch with their roots", as they often feel culturally conflicted 
Usually i would have sympathy for the douchebags if they weren't libshit cowtools
The advice for AA with Niger/Nigerian descent is usually the same for the main sub members - go tour in Nigeria, learn the language, study history, ect. You know actual effort. Additionally these genuinely 1st world privileged douchebags balk at the notion of ACTUALLY visiting africa. No no I mean getting cultural credit for my libshit friends without effort or putting myself in danger in the mother continent!
Their elitism is so obvious usually, like they dont want to step foot in the ghetto (africa), but wanna pretend like AOC that she grew up in da hood, and is battle hardened by a rough and noble upbringing or some such shit
Basically this post about OP is sneeding that the head /r/africa mod keeps cucking him from "finding his roots" and OP is bitching that headmod is also a diaspora - except head mod actually grew up in africa and regularly visits home, he's also not a "root-finding" straggot like OP
OP gets turbo cucked 
by locals 
"To be African doesn't mean anything relevant in the way you try to use it. There is no African race even though you would believe in the concept of race. African isn't more of an ethnic group or a nationality. To be African just means to be related to the continent named Africa. Africans (understand continental Africans) for people inside the continent. Diasporic Africans for others which encompasses Africans born in Africa who migrated abroad but as well people of African ancestry who still have identified relatives in the continent just like people of African ancestry who cannot identify with relatives in the continent as they were removed of the continent under circumstances we know. That's it."
proceeds to r*pe OP
"Based on what you wrote here and here in the comment section of this post you created and we're interacting in, it's very easy to state that your idea to be African fully echoes on a form of Black nationalism or whatever else term is used today to describe this. As a West African, and specifically a Senegalese, I'm afraid that I have to tell you that North African people are African. They aren't only African. They also are Indigenous peoples of Africa as long as North Africa is fully part of this continent we call Africa. So no matter how conflictual the dynamic can be between North African people and Sub-Saharan African people, you will never change this reality and you surely don't help yourself and the supposed "noble" cause you believe to defend here. In fact, you're counterproductive..."

He basically tells OP he's a tool for giving the headmod shit for literally having fled a genocide

Other respond to this rebuttal 
"These people think as if because you're black then you can identify with the continent. Culturally Africa is very diverse, an East African and West African will have very little in common other than skin color. Moreover, tribal identity plays a major part here and these people have no trace of it. Just because we share shade doesn't mean we are on the same team"
Pan africans BTFO
"I have come to call these people "reddit Africans": black people who have never set foot on the continent for multiple generations, who built their "African identity" isolated from the source in the confines and zeitgeist of a mostly Western bubble. Reddit and similar online spaces are the only place where such irrational cultural entitlement is validated. Whereas in the real world, it is either met with confusion or ridicule.
actual Africans point out the 
African-Kings cant stop being turbo ultra giga BASED:
"Being African and being black are two very different things. I think this entire post is narcissistic and an unnecessary bashing of someone who does a thankless job on a site that can be toxic and demeaning towards Africa and Africans." 
Pan-Africans 
"First off, judging by our own comment history, you pass of as some "black" nationalist or ethnocentrist. Usually you guys don't deserve any attention. It is not our fault when you guys feel insulted and emotional when we reject your weird unrealistic mindset, comments and ideologies of "black people" and correct you with facts you refuse to understand. Then you proceed to make nonsense up just to feel comfortable with your own lies. Plain and simple. This sub is not some sort of ancestry institution or your toxic place to spread your nonsensical ideologies"
TLDR: Basically Africans really hate African-Americans, and see them as pompous priviledged libshit undisciplined douchebags

Speaking of diasporacels, have you ever met the white South Africans who left? Do they become libish after migrating/growing up in Australia, Britain, Canada?

I've met a few Boers who moved to Australia. They generally integrate well, but get a couple drinks into them and they often start saying things about Africans that shock the Anglo-Aussie crowd they're in. That's just my experience tho

Maybe for the best lol.
Last year I read a book about Brazilian Slavery, by Laurentino Gomes, a lib journo from Paraná (it had to be a neighbor of mine) who writers pop history and began his prologue trying to pose as one of “le good whites” stating “I descend from italians from my mom's side and from abolitionist Não sei das quantas Gomes” while lamenting the lack of negro brazilian historians.
Anyway's there's a chapter about a Brazilian negro who went to Nigeria to meet some local chief, the reason was that the Brazilian took a DNA test showing some Nigerian so he went to meet the chief of a tribe who use to trade slaves back in the 1700s. He accused the chief of selling his ancestors, then the chief proceeded to embrace the guy and saying he's now his adoptive son and took some photo shot together. The whole chapter was extremely cringe as was half of the book, that's unironically the fantasy of american blacks in /r/africa.

You call it cringe but lashing out at an African for participating in the slave trade is not something that Americans are allowed to contemplate. It's 100% the fault of white people here. Not even Arab slave-traders are allowed to be acknowledged.
Apparently they actually teach history in Brazil.

What I thought it was cringe was the whole “reconnect” thing for some ancestors who were taken away some 3 centuries ago, Brazilian pardos and even “blacks” are so mixed (different african ethnic groups, portuguese and indians) they have their own identity and culture depending on the region that is unlike the one in Africa, they are first and foremost Brazilians.
In general slavery is poorly taught in Brazil as well and the narrative is that the relations between Portugal and the African Kingdoms were asymmetric, that the African kingdoms were “forced” by the portuguese to sell slaves. Gomes's book did a good job explaining how the slave trade would have been impossible without extensive African collaboration but the guy has so many anachronistic takes along his slavery books (there are 3 volumes, I only read the first one) is kind of eye-rolling. I read the prologue on Volume 3 and is almost apologizing for being a white author while there could be a black author writing the book and he talked about what an eye opening experience writing those volumes was and how “Black Genocide” actually happened and is happening in Brazil.
