Liberia
Just wondering if we had our own country inside Africa, would you be more likely to relocate there?
I'm aware of Liberia, but didn't know if black american culture was dominant there.
that will never happenJust wondering if we had our own country inside Africa, would you be more likely to relocate there?
Liberia is the only country in Africa founded by United States colonization while occupied by native Africans. Beginning in 1820, the region was colonized by African Americans, most of whom were freed slaves. The colonizers (who later become known as Americo-Liberians) established a new country with the help of the American Colonization Society, a private organization whose leaders thought former slaves would have greater opportunity in Africa. African captives freed from slave ships by the British and Americans were sent there instead of being repatriated to their countries of origin. In 1847, this new country became the Republic of Liberia, establishing a government modeled on that of the United States and naming its capital city Monrovia after James Monroe, the fifth president of the United States and a prominent supporter of the colonization. The colonists and their descendants, known as Americo-Liberians, led the political, social, cultural and economic sectors of the country and ruled the nation for over 130 years as a dominant minority.
it was tried with Liberia...didn't work out that well
even their flag was taken from here
Marcus Garvey tried to do it and was infiltrated from within
We are not giving you a country. You are free to migrate to whereever you
want in Africa. Now if you want a country in middle of the Sahara desert,
maybe Niger and Mali will sale you land the barren interior, but getting a
black American country in Africa is foolish talk that will lead nowhere/

Fine. Maybe some of you may be able to get a piece of land here and a piece of landSure just go over there and make a bunch of promises like the whites and Chinese do and they'll give us all the land we want
Fine. Maybe some of you may be able to get a piece of land here and a piece of land
there, but you are not getting a country. Forget about that one.

I actually think this is a good idea and I'm big on Pan-Africanism. The biggest difference between Liberia and Sierra Leone being formed in the 19th century compared to now is that individual blacks all across the globe are actually wealthy. Dr. Dre single handedly is about to become the first rap billionaire.
A new country could be formed by wealthy black victims of the Atlantic slave trade from all across the world. We have so many underground black leaders in the U.S that could help create a government. The only situation I would be afraid of is building an army and having protection.
China and other countries are taking over Africa and investing in infrastructure...I would love a chance for Black people from across the globe to go back and create a Dubai like city in Africa and with our own black economy and companies. Our own education and our own commerce. We'll never get an opportunity like that with the already established white supremacist system in this country. We'll forever be at the bottom of the totem pole as a race in America.
Op you can have north eastern Nigeria provided you can defeat boko haram.

a. What would happen to the people who already live in that country?
b. Dr Dre maybe a billionaire, but there already African billionaires..
c. What country has China taken over?
d. why does Africa owe the descendants of black American slaves a country?
e. Have black Americans made a Dubai anywhere before?
You are either from Sierra Leone or you are not.I'm of Sierra Leone Descent and I'm going to be a social studies teacher soon so I'll try to answer your questions as best as possible.

a.Not every country in Africa is doing well. We pick a country that needs help and is willing to make a big change. Europeans set us up in the past by creating conflict and then colonizing Africa. All we want to do is reclaim and build.
b. I use Dr. Dre as an example because he is about to become a billionaire, there are black millionaires all across the world. I'm suggesting that we all come together and have our own economy and access to the resources of Africa. Trade amongst each other and help strengthen other African country's economies as well. Bring our black wealth back to our mother continent.
.
d. Africa doesn't "owe" black people shit, We owe it to ourselves as melanated people across the globe to understand that we are all connected and have been bamboozled on a bigger chess board. We owe it to ourselves to come up with a solution to our own problems instead of calling on the Europeans and Americans to fake help us and steal resources. We owe it to ourselves to stop letting the European and American powers suppress us and divide us.
e.Black Americans have been systematically held back in America and when we had black wealth like Tulsa, Oklahoma Black Wall Street white people came in and destroyed it. Not to mention the propaganda and mental suppression of the Black American race. We've been divided and conquered. Having our main hub city in the motherland is a big step to start fixing these issues and properly recover.
Mofokr really ?
Whatchu mean we ?
You sit in starbucks in Texas......you not even in the equation..

Who would stop us?
No, but the only hope is an African country rising up as a military/economic power. But the African leadership failures during the last 500 years have been beyond comprehension.
Meanwhile, the west and white supremacy are helped by black folks. Taxes. Ideas. Military service.
