Full-scale invasion as the United States deploys troops in 35 African countries

[theworldismine13]

Who said there was any contradiction? All I said is that Africa needs to forge bonds with black people. American Africans, Cuban Africans, Canadian Africans, Brazilian Africans, etc. Having business and cultural ties with the black people of the west vastly helps both sides. There's hundreds of years of evidence to show that doing anything other than uniting doesn't end so well.

yeah thats cool, and for the record there are a lot "american africans" in Africom

 

[Captain Crunch]

i never said that africom or the UN gives a shyt about africa, and i dont think africa has to give a shyt about about africom and the UN, african countries should do what is in their best interest, and forging stronger ties with the US is in their interest IMO

Nonsense
Like the dude above said, we(black folk) and Africa need to work w/ each other.

Africa is for Africans, first and foremost. Not just us in the states; but all of us world wide should be working with Africa, that's the best interest. There were some leaders in recent memory that encouraged blacks to come back to Africa(I think Idi Admin said black worldwide were welcomed back), and it's now on our part(blacks worldwide in North America; South America, Europe, Carribean) to invest in Africa(combine money to fund rails/engineers to figure out ways to mine our own resources/roads/etc).

When you look at recent history, Africa has been purged of it's resources by the same groups that want to "work with" Africa. It's safe to say, they want to do more of the same, take the resources; have low wages and ethics, sell the refined materials(in way of cars; cellphones, basically every piece of technology you need) back to Africa at a premium. There's no need for Africa to work w/ Africom/the UN/etc, when we can do the same and actually improve the land. It's just on us to get the ball rolling and make it happen.

there is a very strong reason to forge a strong relationship with the US because the US has the money and the technical knowledge that africans need to develop

one thing a lot of people dont get is that africa will NEVER get rich from its natural resources, african countries can only get rich when it gets the technical knowledge to develop its own resources

a country cannot get rich selling natural resources, natural resources are the bottom of the pyramid in this world, natural resources are sold in the open market, the countries that buy natural resources and transform them into finished products are the countries that get rich

african countries are sovereign and they should do whatever the fuk they want to do, but IMO their main concern vis a vis the us is having a transfer of technical knowledge and investment in exchange for resources and africom is a first step toward that

second how would african americans invest in africa if the african countries have a hostile relationship with the US? what ever happened in the past, its 2013, there is no benefit to any african country by having a hostile relationship with the US, the more american investments go into africa the better

and again there is no contradiction between forming bonds between black people and stronger ties to america, in fact those things complement each other

umm i'm trying to google "US african deployment" but not getting anything...look at source and noticed im being

That's because it's not true. I've got relatives all over Africa and the majority of these stories are exaggerated

i found out this new story was originally posted by Russia today...pretty much fox news of Russia and we all know Russia is the flag bearers of unbiased and uncensored news

american don't even have 1000 troops deployed in all of africa lulz

... this story is like 2 weeks old....... just cause Fox, MSNBC, CNN don't discusss doesn't mean it's not true....

Not sure what information yall looking at, but this is on several diverse websites..

its bullshyt because they used the word "invasion"

the us sends soldiers to just about every country on the planet, all it is is an agreement between 2 sovereign countries where the us sends a few soldiers to train soldiers, there is nothing special about about it and there is no invasion because there is an agreement between the 2 countries, there is zero evidence that there is anything nefarious going on

serious though why should i care about africa if my fam been in america for like atleast 8 generations bruh. i'm not african..i'm american and i look after american interest.you honestly think the blacks in africa care about the blacks in america/south america/ europe/ west indies? Now you saying blacks (world wide) should invest in Africa? why don;t you stop talking the talk and walk the walk...go right now to Africa and open a business and see how hard it is to run a business there..or why don;t you send half your pay check breh? hope that the money you send to their governments spend it on infracture, education, industry then their fat pockets? The only way for africa to save itself is the same formula that every first world country has done which is to open up their markets , reform their government and undergo industrial revolution

why is this even a white issue...you do know the country that's spearheading the globalization/industrilization or what you would also like to call slavery is China right? did you know they pay the African workers 1/4 of what the Chinese workers get paid..not only that Chinese workers are being shipped to africa in the masses and extracting their rare earth mineral ressources and oil right? Y'all still think the white man rules the world? nah bruh every race is catching up ...

Slavery was also a good thing
Black people needed to forge better relationships with white people

according to Mowgli as long as you aren't violent to your slaves, slavery is a good thing.
