Given that Africa has most of the worlds resources, if it ever closes its borders to global trade,
 the world will be f*cked.

There are many Eurocentric blacks that have never read a book by an African, these same conservative upperty f*cks believe that they are better because they are of the Africa diaspora and they are closer too and benefit from white supremacy.

These people are clueless as to how to solve the problems of the African people, so when they give their Eurocentric advice, tell them to shut up. There is a difference between an African American and an African in America. The same goes for the UK, Brazil, the Caribbean and any other places our ancestors were forced to go when they were stolen from Africa.

You want to talk about nation building but you do not know about Marcus Garvey... There is a great book called "Blueprint for Black Power" by Amos N. Wilson. I will close the statement with Frantz Fanon, he is a brilliant thinker. Am not sure if you have looked around recently but the power balance is off... You might have been born in America, Uk, Brazil and many other countries,but when it comes to issues of racism, the system in these countries does not want to come to your defence, because it is set up against you.

Democracy is for the colonisers not for the colonised. "Sometimes people hold a core belief that is very strong. When they are presented with evidence that works against that belief, the new evidence cannot be accepted. It would create a feeling that is extremely uncomfortable, called cognitive dissonance. And because it is so important to protect the core belief, they will rationalise, ignore and even deny anything that does not fit in with the core belief."

-Frantz Fanon "Colonialism hardly ever exploits the whole of a country. It contents itself with bringing to light the natrual resources, which it extracts, and exports to meet the needs of the mother country's industries, thereby allowing certain sectors of the colony to become relatively rich. But the rest of the colony follows its path of under-development and poverty, or at all events sinks into it more deeply." Frantz Fanon
