I remember reading an article around 99 or 2000, whenever "Livin La Vida Loca", "Bailamos", etc were topping the charts, that salsa has now overtaken ketchup as the biggest condiment in the U.S....here we are 20 years later...
Census Estimate: U.S. Hispanic/Latino Population is 3rd Largest in the Americas at 60 Million

I think building a relationship with the continent and slowly beginning to establish roots is wiser.
The issue that some African parents have with reconnecting their kids to the continent is they wait until they are much older and are accustomed to the westernized lifestyle then all of a sudden want to flip the script.
Your kids are American they didn’t grow up back home so you can’t do that. You have to survey the terrain and prepare for how life will be if you are to transition. As much as Africa has a lot of potential it’s still very much a diamond in the rough. It’s tough for people who live there all their life, imagine those who have not.
This is where those I am going back home cause the west is trash go wrong. Facts are the west offers a standard of living in some respect that is superior than most African countries.
Many returnees or diasporas African would have to go through a pioneering stage and snap out of the mindset of a foundational done system.

There's always that element. But black folks making that move and raising their kids there won't have to worry about the day to day racial element like here in the US. There's other problems there of course, no place is perfect (for example:tribal loyalty). It's been past time for us over here to go over there and help build things up. We have all of the knowledge we need at this point from our experiences over here.
Damn breh, I didn't know you were getting busy like that.

I don't think it's possible. The type of money African nations need is bigger than what Black folks in America got. I think there was a time in the 1960's where that was 100% true but in 2019. Their money movers got way more money than all of the Black billionaires combined and the money needed to really help everybody is a lot as well for most countries. You can do like bdizzle, go there, make a great life for yourself and win for yourself. But helping rebuild Africa, you need a government, not just a couple of nikkas.
Black folks clearly need to visit and support Africa just for the sake of understanding the potential Africa could have for your PERSONAL investment but this idea of rebuilding Africa should be secondary to rebuilding and reshaping Black America first.

It's never going to be one person, but somebody has to start the process. It takes those on the ground, not the government.
Honestly, you did it the right way, but nikkas always want to extend their childhood.I'm done
Then they get mad at women for trying to beat their biological clock.
Too much misinformation in black society.
Depending on what you mean. If you are talking about personal investments, I agree but if you are talking about building up Africa, Black America has no shot in heck. Even the locals with means don't. You need government for that.
