Quick history overview - Blacks left the south to escape Jim Crow oppression and find work and opportunity in the big cities in the north east and west coast. It didn't take long for them to discover that whites in the north hated them as much as cacs in the south. As the black population in the inner city grew, white flight happened. Unfortunately it wasn't just white families moving to the suburbs seeking refuge from the black populace. White flight also took jobs and industry away from the big cities as well. As jobs disappeared, the cities started to face economic hard times and usually the first thing cut is education funding. Lack of work, underfunded schools and shrinking housing funding translated into increased welfare rolls, ghettos and a people increasingly falling behind in education. And thats pretty much how its been the last 60 years at least.
But that was then...
Enter Aliko Dangote, billionaire industrialist.
The Dangote Group, originally a small trading firm founded in 1977, is now a multi-trillion naira conglomerate with operations in Benin, Ghana, Nigeria, and Togo. Dangote's businesses include food processing, cement manufacturing, and freight. The Dangote Group dominates the sugar market in Nigeria: it is the major sugar supplier to the country's soft drink companies, breweries, and confectioners. Dangote Group has moved from being a trading company to Nigeria's largest industrial group including: Dangote Sugar Refinery,, Dangote Cement, and Dangote Flour amongst others.
Today Dangote Group dominates the sugar market in Nigeria and Dangote Sugar Refinery is the main supplier (70% of the market) to the country's soft drinks companies, breweries and confectioners. It is the largest refinery in Africa and the third largest in the world producing 800,000 tonnes of sugar annually. Dangote Group also owns salt factories and flour mills and is a major importer of rice, fish, pasta, cement and fertilizer. The company also exports cotton, cashew nuts, cocoa, sesame seed and ginger to several countries. Dangote Group also has major investments in real estate, banking, transport, textiles and oil and gas. It employs over 11,000 people and is the largest industrial conglomerate in West Africa.
Dangote is branching into telecommunications and has started building 14,000 kilometres of fibre optic cables to supply the whole of Nigeria. He was honoured in January 2009 as the leading provider of employment in the Nigerian construction industry.
(THIS IS JUST A SCENARIO SO DON'T PULL TOO HARD AT THE LOOSE STRINGS)
In the near future The Dangote Group starts bringing manufacturing and factory work back to the American inner cities. A deal is worked out where telecommunicationand textile plants are opened in cities like Detroit, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Atlanta, South Central LA etc. to produce fiber optics and other products for export around the world. The Dangote group is specific in opening factories in urban and black populated areas. Since its a private business they're free to open plants wherever they want. As a result Detroit is revitalized and the resultant revenue plus grants and scholarships from Dangote sees unemployment among black there at its lowest rate ever and graduation and education scores rising accordingly.
In a decade we see the crime rates, welfare rolls and all negative stats drop precipitously. The inner cities can no longer be called ghettos.
Now here's the question: HOW DO YOU THINK THAT WOULD PLAY OUT WITH THE REST OF AMERICA??
I think we would see whites moving back to cities in bigger droves than now...there were be fake indignation and claims of reverse racism because jobs increases in the black community must mean less jobs for whites.. there would be silent and not so silent boycotts of Dangote products in protest of black success. Racial hatred would spike incredibly.
But that was then...
