Back up a little over a century and look at the experiment that was tried at returning slaves to Africa to govern themselves- - - - -Liberia. Sounds a lot like "Liberty", doesn't it?

Totally incapable! Proven for thousands of years! And can take a successful, thriving society and destroy it! Cape Town South Africa, Detroit, Cleveland, Memphis, Philadelphia, Chicago immediately come to mind! memtb

Rhodesia was prosperous, Zimbabwe has devolved into it's natural state. The same fate awaits South Africa, a country that once built nuclear weapons now can't run a power grid.

The average IQ in Liberia is 67. That's just about ch imp level.
Ever heard the saying, better to rule in hell then serve in heaven?
Nobody will rule in hell, not even Satan. Hell was created for his punishment, not to be his kingdom. Those who joke about going to hell have no idea what they're saying. It's someplace where you do NOT want to go but the majority have elected to go anyway.

I’m gonna unintentionally jack this post up due to my lack of geographical knowledge and accurate timelines of the revolutionary changes that took place in South Africa....Still hope the content isn’t drowned out by my inaccuracies.
South Africa under British control was prosperous. Rubber plantations, oil, diamonds, and other natural resources were abundant.
Brits were rulers and acted accordingly towards the blacks. Not my point.
My point....After Apartheid, the blacks couldn’t figure out how to govern themselves, live harmoniously together, or foster a work force that allowed the rich resources to continue to reach the global market.
In essence, they fûcked themselves by reverting to tribal street gangs who slaughtered for revenge, UN food supplies, territory and power.
Some of the warlords were college educated men from the US and Great Britain, but they still had no idea how to harness the manpower of the South Africans to keep the economic growth, growing.
What makes the black communities think they would do any better running the show than the South Africans?

Zimbabwe. In just a few years it went from a prosperous nation to extreme inflation and poverty when it was taken over by a black ruler, Mugabe. He destroyed their national sources of income quickly and thoroughly.

You, obviously, are not much a student of history or you wouldn't ask that question.

seriously? after 8 long long years of a "black" in the white house, we even have to think about this question?
I hear you...It’s a difficult line to walk with any large black community.
Always need based requests, additional resources, better employment opportunities, less exposure to empirical abuse by the police, respect as a human.
Some blacks absolutely get it, but those are the same ones who would get rolled up by the mob who is chanting “I want mine, I want yours”. [b] Not a history buff,but they have no idea what shît they would find themselves in, if they had full control. Some however do know and try to find a way to work it out....Futile?
