Steve Harvey, an American comedian, actor, and TV personality, has advocated for black Americans to travel to Africa to learn more about the continent and appreciate the many positive contributions that Africans have made to society.
According to a recent video by Nigerian YouTuber Walethewave1, Harvey advises people to set aside their assumptions and visit Ghana before moving on to Botswana, which he describes as the world’s second-largest diamond producer and a country with much to offer.
“Leave everything you’ve ever heard. After you go to Africa, you got to go to Ghana first, and then you need to go to Botswana. Botswana is the second richest diamond producer nation in the world them black people over there got something.”
He recommended visiting Johannesburg as well, saying that it would help people start appreciating the African people. “And then you got to go to Johannesburg that’s what you got, you got to do that jump right there, once you see that you’ll understand who we are, them africans ain’t stole nothing from us.”
In support of his claim, Harvey mentioned Burna Boy, a well-known singer from Nigeria who has been accused of copying American music styles.
“They talk about Burna Boy stole this, no we stole from Burnaboy. Them Africans is us mhen; they are the beat; they are the rhythm; they are the soul. They are the hard work; we get our courage from them. When you see them, people, they look just like your family,” he added.
