Indeed I would take the money and get the hell out of Dodge I wouldn't allow Uncle Sam to devise a plan to take back one red cent better yet a brown boy I would take my skills and my compensation because I know I could BE a benefit elsewhere rather than stay where I'm unappreciated and often used as a scapegoat.
I really don't want to move. And most definitely not to Africa.
I would hope that we could find an unused island. And we would have to protect it from outsiders.
I don't have the first clue as to what is available in those places.Run me my funds and I'm hitting the first Thang smokin' !!!! Nairobi, Zambia or South Africa so i could stir up some shit there.....
I think we should be the example, our 6ZEROES family. Jay would be the President, of course, because he always was. VP, secretary, treasurer & our own military air & ground defense.
So you would stay in America with the resources you have rather than leave America with let's say $2M all because we turned pig intestine into chitterlings? Interesting. I understand what you're saying but unless you're ready to go to war it's just words on a computer screen.
White supremacy is global, we’re not getting 2 million each and then being left alone, take a look at how many regimes the US government has violently overthrow, that’s a very likely scenario. Rather, we get our money here and build the economic and political infrastructure to influence Americas decision. We have enough numbers to sway a vote and we’d have enough dollars to influence politicians. You can argue we have the latter now but we’d definitely have it if we got 2 million a piece.
Just keep in mind the devil we deal with they would probably give us our reparations then cancel the currency and charge exorbitant prices to convert the old currency to the new or make it completely unusable in world markets....these are the devils we deal with and I've learned to put nothing passed them. I know this was an exercise in mental masturbation just remember WS is playing 5D chess at this point we'd BETTER get in the game for real! B1✊🏿
Good point. Plus, would we lose our unique culture after a generation away? I think so. We’re in a funny situation; we’re who we are because of this country, but it isn’t home. If we leave we leave what makes us unique too. Hmm.
I understand your point but you're arguing two points that don't mesh. You are unwilling to move to another nation because the US Government can meddle in its affairs BUT your alternative is to live in a nation where the USA controls every single aspect of your existence. It controls your food, water, shelter, electricity, taxes, employment, and can, has, and will continually meddle in all of the above. Your retort is that "we have enough numbers to sway a vote and enough dollars to influence politicians" but name a time where the USA EVER let Black people control any aspect of this society? Anytime Black people get any type of control even if it's a job in an office building the rules are changed so that the power is neutralized.
Again white supremacy is global. Fleeing this country doesn’t help us escape the plantation as you put it, or more concisely fleeing a country we built doesn’t help us escape the grasp of white supremacy. Staying here with reparations allow us to fight it head on or else we end up like; Libya, Cuba, Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam, Iran, Guatemala, Syria, Honduras, Nicaragua, Haiti, etc. all other nations have to adhere to Americas machiavellian hegemony or face major consequence that usually leaves their country in a zombie like pile of rubble. It’s not a better alternative.
This is a good point but voting is not fighting White Supremacy. They set the voting system up so that people think they have a voice in the government. It's a dog and pony show and outside of some local things like "Build a New Dog Park Around the Corner with 2% on Backwoods" our vote doesn't impact anything. Those other countries have macro issues that's for sure but I bet farmers don't have White people running on their land, killing their cows, and when the Black farm owner complains he gets arrested and has to bail out of jail.
We can achieve much of this with protected status and autonomy like the Indians. Yes, while in a nation majority white we’ll never be completely free from being fucked with, but is taking trillions of our dollars, millions of our able bodies, our resources, and world class intellectuals to another country a better alternative, especially after we’ve spent 400 years to get to this point? Where is all of that going to go? Cuba? So America is going to let all of what I listed walk and help build another economy into a powerhouse? It’s not realistic.
We can form a Super PAC and fund our own candidates locally. If 20 million of us donated 5 dollars that would be $100M, we could influence this whole nation. The Tea Party wasn’t totaling that and now the entire GOP has adopted their agenda.So, we're going to give them all the money back? Doesn't make sense to me.
www.politico.com I got it and this is all a hypothetical scenario. I see the value in both and I think having some Black Americans set up shop in another country and have that be the home base for the Black Americans in the USA would be a good set up. It will give Black Americans a place to go and build with possibly not as much friction. Of course there's IMF and etc but the same way you state we can take control over this White supremacist government we could do in another nation. If the scenario in the OP was to materialize I think having some stay and some go would be a good balance.
Do you really believe that the White Supremacist government is going to allow this? If we started doing this they'd change the rules. We know what makes change and in the USA and it ain't playing by the rules.We can form a Super PAC and fund our own candidates locally. If 20 million of us donated 5 dollars that would be $100M, we could influence this whole nation. The Tea Party wasn’t totaling that and now the entire GOP has adopted their agenda.

National tea party groups raised $79 million last year but local chapters are struggling to fundraise.
My Godson & Goddaughter live there. They're originally from Lagos.
