There are dozens of black nations already in existance in Africa and the Caribbean; as well as dozens of towns in the US, Europe, and South America where blacks are the majority. Therefore it isn't necessary to establish new ones. The challenge for black people is and always has been, to take advantage of what we already have (what we've been blessed with)! Indeed our goal is to gain full control of the abundant economic resources that are present in the countries and towns where blacks have political control, but still depend economically on non-black countries or communities. In black neighborhoods, the first step is to buy as much property in the neighborhood as humanly possible; instead of renting, as too many blacks currently do. Almost anyone can buy property in the US, including people with bad credit and bankruptcy on their records (I'm a Real Estate Agent, so I know that for a fact). Examine what needs are not being met in the community, and build companies to satisfy those needs. There should be no need for anyone in the black community to have to go outside in order to satisfy a basic need: Food, Clothing, Education, Medical, Housing, Employment, etc. There doesn't have to be one of each kind, build many and let the natural process of competition improve the customer service and product quality of these businesses. Lastly blacks need to take advantage of the political process to elect leaders who are actually working for their behalf, and throw out those who aren't (whether they are black or not).
Although in many cases this strategy is more difficult to initiate in Africa, the same plan needs to be followed there. I wrote in another thread on this same subject: Africa desperately needs black investors...people to bring financing & news ideas to the continent. Africa is currently suffering from a "brain drain". Some of the most brilliant engineers, architects, doctors, and lawyers in the world are African. However, the overwhelming majority do not live in Africa. Europeans are only interested in extracting Africa's rich mineral resources (Oil, Gas, Diamonds, Gold, Rubber, etc) and in maintaining specialty plantations like Cocoa. Europeans only maintain the amount of infastructure (roads, bridges, utilites, etc) necessary for them to extract the resources they want. They are not interested in the "quality of life" of Africans. This disinterest creates a gap that desperately needs to be filled. There is no reason why other black people (African Americans in particular) can not fill this gap.
Investing in Africa isn't charity, it is an unprecidented business opportunity. Many skills which African Americans possess...many of the resources we have are needed in Africa. African Americans have skills in construction, auto repair, carpentry, computer technology, education, farming, engineering, medical care, and food services Indeed, African Americans are well known in these types of industries. We often do this work for white owned companies at minimum wage or barely above it. Or we open our own companies and struggle to stay in business because competition is too strong in America. In the US there are very few needs which aren't being met. As I previously stated, this is not the case in Africa: Africa needs people to build local roads...farms...plumbing...retail stores...electricians...houses...auto mechanics. Africa needs grocery stores...restaurants...clothing ...pharmacys...contraceptives...hotels...auto mechanics Africans needs hospital equipment...farming equipment...doctors...nurses...teachers...waste disposal specialist. Again many of the areas Africa needs, African Americans already specialize in. Instead of doing these services for minimum wage in America or opening your own business and struggling to stay alive, because there are 20 similar business in a 3 mile radius. Why not open that same business or perform that same service in Africa and become an innovator (be the only person in town or the entire country with that business)? The only major challenge to doing this throughout all of Africa is that many of their leaders are oppressive tyrants, who stifle the progress of their nations. However not every country in Africa faces this restriction. Also many of these tyrants are old and close to death. New leadership and proper vision can turn around the social-economic reality in Africa very quickly.
