This may sound like it's coming outta left field, but it has merit. What are the emerging markets today? The next boom countries w/a roaring stock market are Senegal, Mali & Ivory Coast. Where OUR forefathers came from.
I hear all the time how the Mexicans who flee their countries are cowards b/c instead of making a change they run. But I also read how many whites wish we would leave this country and go "back" to Africa. (I quoted back for obvious reasons.) But, I don't want to turn this into a debate about who's from where, it is purely an intellectual and economical topic.
I recently responded to a post by stating that should we decide to go to the Ivory Coast, we'd be automatically granted dual citizenship. B/c they know who we ae and welcome us back. If we don't take advantage of merging growths even in our own backyards, you KNOW others will.
Just wanted to put something a little different on here. There ARE opportunities abounding. Someone should really look into them. Contact your local Black Chambers of Commerce and ask if they are planning trade trips to West Africa (NOT Nigeria, S. Africa and other parts, OUR homeland).
Think about it, we're better educated, entrepreneurial minded, strong spirited w/an innate oath that the past cannot and WILL NOT be repeated. We could have Barack Obamas many times over in our OWN land!
As he said in a speech, "We are the ones we have been waiting for!"
(Now, let me go back to laying on the couch and watching the Olympics.)
