Correlation between the Biblical Israelites and Africans?

I was reading Genesis and Joseph was sold to an Egyptian, he ends up second to Pharoah in charge of all the resources in the land.
His brothers come to buy some food only to discover their brother is alive.
In this happy time, Joseph relocates his entire family to Egypt and away from the land that God promised Abraham and his decendants.
I noticed the fact that the Israelites moved to Egypt willingly, they abandoned their promised land willingly because Egypt was better. There was grain in Egypt and at the time the pharaoh loved Joseph and extended that love to his family.
Additionally I noticed that while they were in Egypt the Canaanites grew, people took that land, the promised land didn't sit empty waiting for them but others took it, and did with it what they thought was best.
And finally when Egypt was no longer hospitable they found their long way back (the long hard way back)


And that just made me think about the fact that Africans in the last few generations left Africa willing. Left their rich land for the 'west' because they were convinced that their children can only be educated in these other countries, that there was no hope of making a living in Africa, and that they would die early living in Africa. And I am wondering where we are in our story.
I would like to believe that we are looking back at our promised land and realising how pretty darn awesome it is and hopefully choosing to go back before it gets too inhospitable here and before the charities, NGOs and foreign investors take over and we no longer have a place to go back to

I woke up angry today

It happens surprisingly often.
Where my brain continues to have hypothetical conversations and then it just never rests.
On  this particular topic the reason my mind won't rest is I am so passionate about it and there is so little I can do about it that I feel so powerless and so restrained right now that my mind can't help but continue going.
I kept saying to myself, 'settle down, there is nothing you can do about it, why are these thoughts percolating so much right now'
But in retrospect this past week has had a few encounters that I just ignored and worked really hard not to get emotional about and I think finally my brain just couldn't NOT think about it anymore.
Basically I woke up with thoughts that said
"Africa is extremely wealthy
we don't know it
they know it,
so they benefit."
Europe's power rested in their colonies (us),
America's power rested in their slaves (us),
and now many of their power still rests in OUR resources, our mined, grown, farmed resources, and our SPACE, they use our land for their battles.
They are poor, they have no fertile land brimming with wealth, but they understand their position better than we understand ours.
We have power, but we don't realise it so we behave powerless.'

I am taking some deep breaths and attempting to continue studying, because that's what needs to get done right now, BUT, wait for it, the reality is it's a mentality problem, and once people begin to think properly it will change.
I am confident we will see change in my generation, and we will begin to see a reversal of the diaspora, they may not move back to live there but they will begin to claim it as their own and it will blow your mind.
