The question is you got opportunity in your own country and you’re making luxury shyt in a foreign nation. It’s suspect and not helping out your own. This is why I’m skeptical to back to Africa movements. In a way it is a different form of c00nery. It’s wild to make things for strangers and not the people that brought you up. Philly doesn’t have a market for luxury hotels so instead of helping Philly which is full of black people, they’re over there doing this for strangers. It’s baffling. I’ve seen black folks travel to Ghana and build libraries for them and parade it on social media when black kids in America are struggling to read.

Focusing on Africa when our own people are suffering is abject foolishness. I give African nations kudos and absolutely celebrate cooperated effort but when black Americans put a lot of focus on building Africa up when your momma, poppa, grandma, granddaddy all the way down to the ancestors before the civil war settled and struggled on this land I pause. Making luxury hotels and wanting a pat on the fukking back when the people in the neighborhood you were raised in are probably struggling. It’s c00nery and putting Africanism on a pedestal.

Here's my take....it's a business they're not running a charity over there. Money can be made anywhere in the world even in poor nations. Yes you can make millions and billions in Nigeria. You clearly don't understand this. If you fulfill a need or opportunity you can make money anywhere in the world and there's a case to make money in Africa because guess what it's underdeveloped, it's cheap and yes sadly it's also corrupt so you have less red tape. I can't recoup my investment in Philly, you might need $100 million to build a hotel there. But in Nigeria I might build it for 10th of the cost and at a faster space.

Now yes there are some Americans that go to run charities but even those folks are in it for their bottom line because at the end of the day if you don't put food on your own table you can't put food on someone else's.

It’s a scam that they have been running for the last 100 years.

Its business.

I’d advice you to get in on it. Much less red tape to deal with here and the money turn around is much quicker.

Its not a charity. Its quick money…and why let all the other foreigners have all the fun? I’d be much happier seeing Black Americans cake here than these racist Lebanese and others.
