Black people should industrialize. Black people in America, The Caribbean, Latin America, Europe, and of course, Africa.
The question is how does one industrialize?
In a sense, Berry Gordy did industrialize production of music with the Motown Sound.

How does one take that framework and apply it to something else?
Something more substantial than floating atop the white owned media complex?
What,
besides financial capital, is required?
The Black folks that was working on the production line at some closed GM Plant, could easily turn around and be on the production line at Hummer or some other military vehicle production place....
So it's not the ability turn a wrench...
It's something more.
I
don't see a lot of Black leaders and Black Academics talking about this, much less do anything.
There's are plenty of Black American politicians that will bend over backwards for "businessmen" to come in and exploit the cities that we "control", or the land that we "own" - but I don't see any sort of development of the Black masses to become industrialists...
And it makes me much angrier when I look abroad to The Caribbean and Africa. It's outsiders and former colonizers that do the business and build the major industries... When you let the World Bank dictate your own economic policy...When you let the Chinese build everything with their own management, technical staff, workforce and financing...
You never learn how to do these things yourself.
You're always reliant on the "generosity" of others. And that generosity is usually a mask for some sort of predator behavior.
