Nigerians,what you mean
The best schools, the best institutions, the best corporations, the most advanced technologies and sciences, the best infrastructure, the financial base for the modern world, all stem from America and then you consider that 2/3 of the American White population is dying and their younger generation have negative birth rates, all while Brown and Black populations increase in size, voter turnout, education and are moving away from the 20-30 years of violence that set us back from what we had going in the 50-60 and we are in the driver seat to dictate the Black race's narrative.
Nigerians,
i'm asking you how.
Nigerian Americans have long been known for their community’s intense cultural emphasis on education, and now an analysis of Census data coupled with several local surveys shows that Nigerians don't just value education, but surpass all other U.S. ethnic groups when it comes to obtaining degrees.
37 percent of Nigerians in the U.S. had bachelor's degrees, 17 percent held master's degrees and 4 percent had doctorates.
According to a Citigroup report published in February 2011, Nigeria will get the highest average GDP growth in the world between 2010–2050
If you haven't noticed black participation rates in all the areas mentioned above have continuously declined so it's not like we're a part of this ultra progressive society you speak of. Also, around 2/3's of all latino wealth was lost during the 07-09 crisis so they're back to no generational wealth.
You are far removed from reality if you think Black Americans are the fastest developing group.

I don't think you get it. Black Americans have a long way to go but the opportunities that exist are at a higher threshold than Nigeria or Ethiopia EVEN if they modernize.
just a few things
1. Your still a racial minority (numerically) and will likely be one in the future
2. "Brown and Black"...Hispanics/Latinos are not with you/us....including them like they are just shows you have lost the plot
3. The gap is closing between the rest of the world and America in regards to technology and science
4. population increase and decrease does not correlate with gains of power and losses of it
China is a modern nation and were said to cede America and now they are experiencing limited growth and stagnation. I can assure you Nigeria and Ethiopia don't come close to China.
We're talking about opportunities presented for an ethnic base. All companies in China are owned by ethnics of that region and thus can "represent that ethnic group at its best". Nigeria has a promising growth opportunity and whether they ever make it on US's level or not is to be seen. Their determination, though, shows that they are the prospects for "representing the black race", since more than 90% of their country is owned by Nigerians.
I don't even know why I engaged this conversation with you since I think that is the most ridiculous statement ever since it marginalizes individual efforts and try to divide black people into subcategories....
Blacks are diverse, whether you want to acknowledge it or not. I appreciate what Blacks do globally but I have pride in my own first. Volume does not equal quality.
I know people who give madd money each month to causes. my group is planning a trip to africa later this year. There are so many Black Americans I know that do what they can.... No other black group gives a fukk about us-- they wouldn't blink if 75 kids died in Detroit this morning. We do appreciate what blacks do worldwide... Obviously we also learn the history of groups and tribes that aren't even our own.
Nothing wrong with looking after your own first and foremost.I know people who give madd money each month to causes. my group is planning a trip to africa later this year.

but like @Poitier we have to look after our own first. That was one mistake in some of this movements in the 30 40s 50s was that they wanted to prematurely connect to Africa--- before we even fully defined our culture here... and came out with our own plan to success.

However...because they kept the lines of communication open in those times it facilitated a lot of social movements. Black people globally created a network of information that allowed influence and support to be provided from the west to east and vice versa. It is no coincidence that a lot of colonial freedom movements take place in the same timeline as the civil rights movement in America. There was pressure from black people worldwide on the west and the leaders of these movements knew each other. These connection and that co-operative spirit expedited our social uphieval of CAC society almost in chronological lockstep sequence. This co-operative spirit went on into the seventies (hence Ali in Africa) then slowly faded as former leaders of these movements swiftly met their end or became notorious villains (see mugabe).
My point is that we can create mutually beneficial situations for ourselves perhaps leading to jobs investment and the creation of a globally self sustainable "black" economy as we carve out our own pockets of influence. Picture flying in from Atlanta to Nairobi like your going from NY to Paris for the day for business and having the same level leisure and access to luxury and living but instead surrounded by black excellence
Breh is a top notch troll. I remember when I argued with him about Kanye not being a real nikka, then he came thru wit "He realer than Pac was."
It sucks cuz sometimes you can't tell whether people honestly feel that way or are baiting you into a dumbass tug of war that leads nowhere. I just tend to ignore the extremely ignorant comments altogether.
