American TV personality Steve Harvey, has advised Americans in the diaspora to put their prejudices about Africa aside and visit the continent.<\/p>\n
According to him, these travels will give the west, especially African-Americans an understanding of African culture and its impact on the rest of the world.<\/p>\n
Speaking in a podcast, Steve Harvey said \u201cForget everything you\u2019ve ever heard. After you go to Africa, you got to go to Ghana first, then you need to go to Botswana because you need to see (these places).\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBotswana is the second richest diamond producer nation in the world \u2013 them black people over got something. And then you got to go to Johannesburg, that\u2019s what you\u2019ve got to do. You\u2019ve got to do that jump right there. Once you see that, you\u2019ll understand who we are,\u201d he told a crowd.<\/p>\n
Steve Harvey stated that these visits will dismiss the narrative that Africans, especially musicians, are \u2018stealing\u2019 from the west as many African Americans believe. \u201cThem Africans ain\u2019t stole nothing from us. \u201c<\/p>\n
\u201cThey talk about, Burner Boy stole this? No. We stole from Burner Boy. Them Africans is us, man. They\u2019re the beat. They the rhythm. They the soul. They the hard work. We get our courage from them. When you see them people, they look jack like your family,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Steve Harvey first came to Ghana in 2019 during the popularised \u2018Year of Return\u2019 when diasporans and African-Americans were encouraged to visit Ghana to learn about their roots.<\/p>\n
Since his visit, the TV show host has spoken openly about his love for Ghana and the African continent as a whole.<\/p>\n
He also introduced the popular game show \u2018Family Fued\u2019 to Ghana and South Africa.<\/p>\n
