I would hope they too would be given citizenship. There are also millions of migrant workers whose status in their adopted countries are tenuous to say the least. These are far more pressing especially as many of those in these situations are the very poor and vulnerable.

However, most of Kenyan slaves hardly got to the United States. They must be the folks in Jamaica, Asia and those sides. Most of the folks in the US came from Central and West AFrica or google says... I support the issue of giving them African citizenship then they can choose which country they would like to go to.

If the Jewish state of Isreal were able to turn the ruins of their God- given homeland into one the most prosperous Nation today,why shouldnt africans and Africans in Diaspora build a prosperous Africa? It is only a matter of time.But happen it will. If the Jewish people were able to return to their native land what makes it impossible for Africans?.
