You're Indian. So shut the fukk up.
I'm not indian

Why are you here? There's nothing for you in here.
I was born here...

Black people can either keep complaining of being profiled, hunted down and discriminated against.....or you can do something about it. We got a raw deal in America building an entire country for free but, fukk it. That's what it is. Shyt ain't gonna change. We gone be complaining 100 and 200 and 300 years from now.
fukk complaining. Do something.

I'm broke or just above broke right now. So I can't do shyt. When I get my situation right, I'm headed for the nearest terminal. If you'd rather live in a room in somebody else's mansion rather than owning your own house, then America is the place for you. But that room is all you'll ever have.
Theres more black american millionaires than anywhere else.

And I wrote this for other people to read. Not you, you Indian muthafukka.
More bullshyt

part of the problem
i don't necessarily think them being billionaires is the problem, They just need to be a little more altruistic when it comes to their people IMO.

1. I don't think the black billionaire thing is true. I believe most of them are north-arabs outside of the one or two from sub-Saharan africa
2. we need more black politicians PERIOD. The corrupt ones will always exist, but we just need MORE.

you might be right about most of Africa's billionares being north African,:patrice:

But What I was saying is that MOST black billionaires in the world are Sub-saharan African. there's way more than 1 or two

Hell, Dangote is the Wealthiest man on the continent. And he made his fortune legitimately.

This. The idea that blacks need their own nation/government was an issue during colonialism when all of Africa was under European rule. After the 5th Pan African congress and Kwame Nkrumah became the 1st president of Ghana, the shift started happening.

It's 2014 now brehs, we have own nations. Right now Nigeria (in my own opinion) is the shining star of Africa. You got cats like Aliko Dangote (richest black man on the planet) shipping concrete all over the continent. He also recently just donated 1.2 billion dollars from his own personal wealth to give small business loans to rural Nigerians and his foundation supports initiatives in education, health, and youth empowerment.

I'm still trying to figure out a way to invest money in Nigeria, but I'm not even sure where to begin. I'm gonna take a trip to Lagos very soon. More than likely that's where I'll be moving to (either there or Nairobi). Here's a picture of a Nigerian skyline (Lagos I believe)

Now if you're specifically talking about African Americans needing their own nation, I can agree with you, but I don't think our people is ready to give up their love affair with cacs. I'm 100% for blacks choosing to physically separate from whites, but I know I'm in the vast minority.

I'm really feeling Nigeria. I see mad potential there. I really feel like Nigeria will be a superpower or close to it, by the time we're our grandparents age. When I get more time today, Imma read your post.

The Jews have Israel. Hispanics have Central and South America. Indians, India. Chinese, China. Japs and Koreans, Japan and Korea. A place to return to. A strong base for their people. What do we as Blacks have? Nothing. No connection. It saddens me how much Black Africans are disinterested in Africa. Especially West Africa. Creating a new "Black" nation is highly unrealistic. So the only way this will ever happen for us is to link up with countries back home. Yes....home. Nigeria is on the rise....Ghana too. I see real potential in Nigeria. Until Black Americans have real power and a strong economic/political base (Africa) to support us, we'll always be treated like garbage. I ain't saying to give up your citizenship and move to Africa but, maybe get a dual-citizenship, purchase real estate over there, get more in touch with the continent, visit more frequently, etc. Maybe y'all have better idea...
Tried already. Look at Liberia now

Aka Feudalism.......they need to move towards social capitalism with decentralized states

Rich expats and corrupt Africans rich off stealing commodities and/or aid money as they seclude themselves in lagos, accra, nairobi, etc is a bad thing

Freed African slaves went over to Liberia thinking they were better than the Africans, separating themselves in a higher class like cacs. If we really integrated into the culture and community, things might've been different. And also....who gives a shyt? Because it didn't work once, you just gonna give up and never try again?

But that's like admitting defeat here.

Build your own tropical paradise! Uninhabited Maldivian island with permits for a luxury hotel resort and spa goes on sale for £8.5m

Here’s something to dream about the next time you buy a ticket for a massive lottery jackpot.
With an asking price of £8.5 million, an uninhabited island in northern Maldives has hit the market, giving a wealthy entrepreneur an ideal opportunity to build a luxury resort from scratch.
The pancake-shaped tropical island of Orivaru comes with permits for a hotel and spa, according to luxury real estate firm Debutesq Group, which listed the 34.6-acre property.
Located 45 minutes by seaplane from the capital Male, Orivaru is one of 71 islands that form the Noonu Atolls and a haven for anyone who is seeking privacy.
Only 13 of the islands are inhabited and the closest one – Minaavaru, which is home to a Hilton resort and spa – is three miles away.
Alan O’Connor, managing director for Debutesq Group, said: ‘There is nothing on the island right now. It’s a complete virgin island.’

The island is held on a long leasehold from the Maldivian government but Debutesq Group said such leases are frequently renegotiated and extended.
Ringed by a white sand beach that is lapped by crystal clear water, Orivaru is a blank canvas for its future owner or owners.
Mr O’Connor said permits issued by the Ministry of Tourism have paved the way for some inland development and guest rooms on the shore.
Debutesq Group said inland development would include restaurants, guest lounges, pools and a wellness spa, while permits allow for nearly 100 private rooms and water villas that would have exhilarating views of the Indian Ocean.
The island has a natural port allowing boats and seaplanes to berth without interfering too much with the natural landscape.
For the last two years, Orivaru has been owned by a Maldivian registered company led by a property investor from the Czech Republic.
