I read "Out of America" about a black man who went back to - Africa and was horrified by what he saw.

And grateful that he is descended from those who left and came to America.

This is in my personal library, and I read it as part of my education on how to raise black adopted children. Along with Thomas Sowell’s works and a few others, it helped me chart a course.

Publisher summary:

Nothing in Keith Richburg’s long and respected journalistic career at the Washington Post prepared him for what he would encounter as the paper’s correspondent in Africa. He found a continent where brutal murder had become routine, where dictators and warlords silenced dissent with machine guns and machetes, and where starvation had become depressingly common. With a great deal of personal anguish, Richburg faced a difficult question: If this is Africa, what does it mean to be an African American?

In this provocative and unvarnished account of his three years on the continent of his ancestors, Richburg takes us on a extraordinary journey that sweeps from Somalia to South Africa, showing how he confronted the divide between his African racial heritage and his American cultural identity.

Bottom line, America is not as bad as it's portrayed.
