What would happen upon emancipation, if blacks banded together en-mass, and taken ALL the combine knowledge and wisdom they had learned from the whites: the wheel, reading, writing, arithmetic, horsemanship, farming/agriculture, knowledge of farm implements, rudimentary construction, organization, government, aaaaaaannnddd... FIREARMS!!!
they had all the tools they needed to go back and takeback the lands trey were kidnapped from and KICK THEIR ASSES!!!
they had the opportunity to go back there as REAL Kangz and might actually have had a chance of at least attempting wakanda, hell, the Liberian project should have been a couple orders of magnitude larger than it was.
But those what decided to stay, regardless of how misused and abused their black snowflake seed think they have it today, those that stayed gave them a better life than 99% of the blacks on the planet! But i'm just a hillrod, so what do I know
The European powers took over all of Africa except for Liberia and Ethiopia. They might have been able to carve out a piece for themselves if they had started in 1865...maybe.
The boxer named m Ali went over to Black Africa and said, ‘I’m glad my grandfather got on the boat.’ One idea to consider is that most of Black Africa is Moslem. Islam does not in reality generate prosperity. They can steal others’ wealth. They just do not generate honest wealth.
I have lots of thoughts.
Don’t get me going.
If Abe Lincoln had not been assassinated he had plans to repatriate a lot more “Blacks” back to Africa.
So Liberia might have gotten the critical mass of talent needed to succeed long term and become a decisive force in Africa?
Well, I’m in real estate so I talk to people all the time, about relocating. Seems to be a very, very difficult thing for most people to think seriously about, never mind do it.
Maybe an inert body tends to remain at rest.
Or the devil you know is preferable to the devil you don’t.
People resist change, and moving is a BIG change.
They usually can’t even imagine changing jobs.
“My family’s here.”
“Can’t afford it.”
I do understand not returning to the ancestral lands, though. My forebears went to some trouble to get away from the czar, the kaiser, the mafia, the king, the revolutionaries, the bloomin’ sheriff of Nottingham perhaps. Nobody liked them!
At my company they have a social messaging platform. They put up a image celebrating Black History Month with 3 raised fists colored brown, yellow and red. We have several thousands of employees all around the world. 26 people responded with emoticons of various design. 5 of those 26 had responded multiple times with different emoticons.
It’s not even a popular day with black people as we have a good amount of all races employed and are all-in on ESG, DEI and ERG’s. It’s perverse as management openly states it’s because we are competing with big tech companies like Google, SpaceX, Amazon, etc, to win government contracts.
yup, screw disney
They turn it into Black Red history mounth, just like Rush used to say, the NALCP.
.
most of those problems dint exist for them in the 1800s
and exploration is what drives man, well, europeans anyway
no, they prolly thought they had a better shot here in civilization than to try and recreate it there
but in essence giving up more than their new found freedom, but the freedom to strive in the process
your thoughts
insanity by gov decree
and Buffalo Soldiers stayed after getting out
labrono
There is no point in American history where large groups of U.S. Citizens moved to an ancestral homeland, especially when their ancestors had been in America for ten generations.
Blacks were the majority population in several southern states.
If Lincoln had given rifles to a few million freed slaves they wouldn’t have used them in Africa. They would have taken absolute control of much of the south forcing whites to flee north and west as refugees.
