    Personally, I think we should map the blueprints for an independnt sub-saharan, African republic. Reduce this continent to three internationally recognized republics, maximizing its GDP and potential for growth.

    Senior level of education would be military style, not necessarily militant. Approve conscription, with two year service minimums to effectively instill discipline. Reduce the stigma associated with "weakened immune systems."

    Explore the possibility of an Arabic/Swajili concept language completely devoid of English script/characters/linguistics.

    Establish a currency backed by a physical commodity to assess its proper value if not use gold outright.

    Sorry. Another rant.

    I suppose Tigrinyan is something akin to an Arabic/Swahili language as is, hm?

    Another list mentioned our first auto manufacturer, which I have yet to fully research. But I will implore the public at large to research aerospace and aeronautics, as well as harnessing nuclear energies such as thorium and uranium for purposes relating to power generation.

    Thoughts, opinions strongly encouraged and welcomed.

    Does anyone have any official numbers on how many of those billionaires are ACTUALLY Black? Just curious, as I believe most of them are Black Africans based on the names I'm seeing on the lists but hopefully someone can verify my belief

    America was there at one point more or less. Dont let the glossed over story of usa's history let u think otherwise. ? up to nonexistant infrastructure in a lot of locations, famine , lack of adequate schools. Deadly child labor...? health care...wars ...extreme inequality..slums...we can go on and on. America was a third world country before that term was even coined...but america's image is handled more delicately than other nations, for obvious reasons...so that will not be allowed to sink in as the predominant image of this nation's history

    Say all that to say america got past all that, so can and so will africa. Most african nations arent even 100 years old yet. How was life for the average white, let along black or any other person in america after usa aged 100 years?

    Keep reality and history in perspective....this ? takes time


    It was written that the Khemetic Afrcians would end up living this way in the end because their Dynasty was during the Egyptian period during the time of Moses.. It's over for them. What you're witnessing now is them trying to rebuild, but it will never come back to fruition. Thus saith the Lord. That Kingdom is past

    You're right. At the end of the day, no one really gives two ? . Suppose we're just along for the ride.

    Enjoy.

    although, you know what might be a better question? how many of these billionaires are doing something for whatever nation their from, race notwithstanding.

    Good question.....hopefully those billionaires on the list are creating many millionaires in the process, along with a stronger middle class that is still small there
