Meisha Williamson Writes: Ghana Through the Eyes Of An American | Why Does Every Ghanaian Woman Out Here Want to Be American?

Hello all,

I am writing from the beautiful land of Ghana right now—where I can honestly say that I am fully enjoying beautiful people, great weather, and awesome foods.

However, I would like to say that as a dedicated follower of this site-GhanaCelebrities.Com often times I read such cruel statements and remarks about African Americans and USA as a whole.

This is not my first trip to Ghana but this time I came to Ghana with an opened eye, and I would like to share what I have seen.

First, I have totally been able to see with my own eyes gay men and lesbian women in abundance. There are even legal networks here that have TV shows which 100 percent promote homosexuality and the lesbian community—same sex kissing and making love on TV (Ghanaian movies).

I have actually seen drug dealers, prostitutes, police brutality and women who behave, and dress like the same African American women in USA that many of the followers of this site talk badly of.

I’m not at all talking bad about Ghana or Ghanaian people—all I’m saying is don’t throw rocks if u live in a glass house. America is America and has its own system.

Let America deal with America. And Ghana is Ghana and have its own system, and from the things I am seeing, Ghanaians need to totally focus on Ghana, and try to fix all here, before even thinking of bashing or talking about USA.

It seems to me that almost every woman here is trying their best to look American. With the weaves, bleaching creams, and provocative clothes.

And with all that being said, I will stop because I have so many beautiful things to do today.

I am enjoying Ghana because the only things that separate Ghanaians from Americans is the language, this land, and the little culture that is left. Because if it wasn’t for the scenario of some things I would think that I was still home in Harlem, or parts of Brooklyn because the behavior and demeanor of the people are totally the same.
