Korossol Into The Ring 8
Lots of countries from Africa talk French. Those countries were colonized by France between 1881 and 1914 (says Wikipédia), like Tunisia, Morocco, Algeria, Ivory Coast, Dahomey (actual Benin), Mauritania, Niger, French Sudan (actual Mali), Senegal, Cameroon, Togo, Chad, Congo, Oubangui-Chari Republic (actual Central African Republic), Madagascar and some others. Canada also has French as an official language with English.
While I am curious about Africa, I don't know if I would go if it was offered. I think too much meaning has been piled on this continent by black peoples. I don't remember exactly when, but a lot of Afro-american as much as French colored people decided to move "back" to Africa, to leave "the toxicity of the white man" behind and to get back to "their people". Unfortunately, African history didn't stop at slavery and "black" is not a common ground when EVERYONE IS. There was no "african people" at this time, only zulus, xhosas, peuls, you see what I mean. They didn't feel much fraternity to foreigners whatever their skin tone was, they had their own conflicts, and the culture shock was horrible. In most instances the "Return to Africa" ended badly. Even now, I'm feeling insecure at the idea to meet black people having their own country, their own language, their own history. In the Caribbeans, we often are reproached to always come back to slavery. But that's the only thing we have to go back to! We have no history beyond the myth of the ship who brang us there, our usages are slave born and our cuture is our masters'. Where I live, French language is both the language of colonization and a tool of power.
I thought a ot about going to Canada. It seems great!

Even now, I'm feeling insecure at the idea tof meeting black people having their own country, their own language, their own history.
In the Caribbeans, we're often are reproached to, as the conversation always comes back to slavery.
But that's the only thing we have to go back to!
We have no history beyond the myth of the ship who brangought us there, our usages are slave born, and our culture is our masters'.
I'm not sure what you mean by "usages".
