White man's experience in African countries vs Africans' treatment in European countries The narrator, a white man from Great Britain, shares his positive experiences living and traveling in various African countries without facing mistreatment based on his ethnicity or skin color. He contrasts this with the everyday racism experienced by many Africans living in Europe, including name-calling, discrimination, restrictions on movement and work opportunities.
African diaspora's choice to leave their own country for Europe The narrator questions why some Africans choose to leave their own country to live in Europe despite experiencing racism there. He suggests that if black Americans had their own independent country where they could build it up and make it the best place possible, they would not be running away from it like some Africans are choosing to do.
