  1. Brotha @frankster strikes again.๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฟ Whole post was thorough but I wanted to highlight salient points. If AfroAmericans were to take their talent, knowledge, skills and abilities gained from the West and looked to build with Africans and others throughout the diaspora, the status of Black folks all over the planet would rise exponentially. However, AfroAmericans need to start with building an infrastructure right here in America. Call it a laboratory or test run or proving ground.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  2. The Greeks Influence is still with us Wisdom has nothing to do with Ethnicity You are mistaken. How does one measure the Absence of fear and suffering. Then you know that it Failed...as it accentuate differences and not commonalities. We will be seen as Foreigners Akata, Obruni or Oyinbo...Cotton picker or stupid and evil person. Richer than most but poorer that many....Not Elites but Exploiters. We certainly do not have more Resources than African, We do not have more Wealth than Africans And it can be argued we do not have more skills than the Africans. What we have is Proximity to Power and The Opportunity to influence that power....Access to Modern Technology. No....I expect them to built Industries in Africa. That is Aristocracy/Nobility, ancestors left a heritage for them. True.....but why would you want to be a Corrupt Elite.... Where did I say That? Elite means Superior Ability or Talent.....Elite Class just means Gentry Let us try to keep it a good thing. We Knew that all along....but what you are proposing is to fleece the poor and needy - those whom you have authority over. You just Said how you got "cookies" by taken advantage of people in need.....you had the power and abused them with it. Power comes in many forms...And we all have varying degrees of power regardless of Race class or status First you must recognize The Power you already have and what you are doing with it. The White man as a group did that for about a 150 yrs without regard....That has changed plenty The Arabs as a group in Africa are over 80% Black African (less so in the Maghreb)or more....though they may not see themselves that way The Indians and Chinese are not innocent but cannot be held liable beyond their individual behaviour. The White man in Africa has and is Self - destructing in Africa....as they continue to lose power and influence there. Looks can be deceiving. True You are setting yourself up as the "Other" very rarely good come of such behaviour. We are Westerners and we should continue with our cultural ways whilst being Aware Accepting and Hospitable as Guests should be. I could not agree with you more..... Why US Military.....Why not Create Our Own or hire Private Black African Paramilitary Protection Service Company.
  3. Yep. The government definitely had a word with them (antitrust) for monopolistic practices.๐Ÿ˜ Microsoft tried to argue that because every computer had an operating system ( brain) they should be entitled to a royalty for every piece of software product run on the platform. They lost. Most definitely. As long as there are people who feel they should have more than everybody else, greed will always be a problem. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  4. No reason for us to duplicate the worst of men. Power and wealth should be used to lift all boats. Everyone should be able to live comfortably.๐Ÿ˜Ž
