#1 Why is it that there is a butthurt response to this story? Instead of "bye-bye assholes" it's "your premise is invalid, nobody would ever leave America!"

#2 The response is probably because the original report is propaganda. 1000 something folks moving to Africa is not a movement but a trickle, a trickle compared to the flow in the other direction a trickle that is keeping their US citizenship so as to be able to return when they get tired.

The original article wasn't designed to encourage emigration but to bash the US.

#3 Back in the 60's a number of American blacks tried moving to Africa. It didn't usually work: they weren't welcomed as "black brothers" but held at a distance as members of a different tribe. And Americans of any color are money trees.
