White Americans(everyone in the world I'm talking about) can invest, I just want it to benefit Africa in some shape or form. If you want to bring a company over here, it should have fair wages; safety conditions, benefits(I believe most African countries have free health care) and a pension. If you want to start a corner store, you; me, or anyone who wants to open up shop should do business w/ other African businesses and funnel money to specific causes(help build roads; establish SEO/other web money making training programs, construction training programs, basically any thing that contributes to sustainable money to Africans).

Nah slavery was a bad thing, and yeah african countries should forge strong relationships with other countries and amongst themselves

nothing was good about it. It was bad.
We don't know where Africa would be without colonization.
You're assuming it's better to be on the bottom of a society that never wanted you and never will - than to be a part of a society that you've been brainwash to look down on due to slavery aftershock and continued colonization in Africa.
FIRST amongst themselves... or those other relationships will metaphysically rape then kill them.
can only go by what i see now
That's a false choice, there is no contradiction in pursuing stronger ties with the us and stronger ties with the African diaspora, especially when a significant amount reside in the us
This story for example, what on earth does the us government sending some trainers have anything to do with black people investing in Africa?
Black people investing is cool. Governments 'investing' is only cool, if African nations first have unity and keep control of own resources at the forefront of their minds.
Many of the private companies that invest in developing nations are funded by government contracts, in turn are motivated by government agendas.Sometimes I wonder if you guys even know what the hell you are saying
The us is a capitalist country, the us government does not invest in any country unless you are talking about foreign aid, which I agree should be ended, but foreign aid is not investment t, in a capitalist system investment is done by private capital, and that private capital is what is missing in Africa and why Africa needs closer ties with america
Like I said already it seems a lot of y'all do t get that America has never invested in africa, America has invested billions of dollars in Europe and Asia but not in Africa, IMO we need some of the capital that is now going into those other continents to go into africa, and not just capital, technical knowledge also, that is the reason I say closer ties to the us is a good thing
As far as resources, resource should and they are sold in an open market, but African countries will never get rich from natural resources, African countries will get rich when they develop the technical knowledge to manufacture products from their natural resources, and again being that the us is the main reserve of technical knowledge is another reason to forge strong ties to the us
Many of the private companies that invest in developing nations are funded by government contracts, in turn are motivated by government agendas.
And yes foreign aid needs to be stopped.. which all this new interest, will probably increase aid, which will in turn increase dependency.
I will love to see the day when the Western governments and private organization teach them how to fish. It's more profitable to just give them the fish... allow a few Africans to eat off the resources while hoarding the technical knowledge needed to truly benefit from it.
Most wealthy Africans and most advanced engineering and technology students from Africa will have limited opportunities in Africa and therefore will continue to transfer that knowledge base to nations and companies that will more than likely Not benefit their homelands. I've meet so many African consultants in my line of work.. they could give a fck about where ever they are from outside of their families.. Colonization has more than just physical effects.
But like you said.. the US is capitalistic.. in today's world exploitation drives capitalism.
It did lead to our economic and cultural empowerment in the Western Hemisphere
