Anyone.
Anyone at all.
Name a successful black nation. Wakanda doesn’t count.
Wakanda
Yup, America is First-World.
Black nations tend to be oppressively dictatorial along with Arab/Muslim nations.
Kind of like when Eldridge Cleaver tried to live in Cuba. It wasn’t all that it was cracked up to be.

Cleaver came back to the US as a conservative.
I have been to several places in Kenya. I wouldn't consider it particularly prosperous by American standards, but for the most part it was a lot better than I expected. It may not be "successful" but it is by no means a failure. Still, I would probably not go back.
Even Muhammad Ali when he went to Africa to fight George Foreman said, “Thank God my granddaddy got on that boat!”
Most white countries if they are being realistic.
South Africa. It’s developed even though crime is an issue. We can navigate. It’ll be just like living in Baltimore.
In 2023, African countries received approximately US$59.7 billion in foreign aid from donor countries. This figure represents 26.8% of the total official development assistance (ODA) provided by the countries in the Development Assistance Committee (DAC). Aid to Africa has seen a slight decline in recent years, with a decrease from US$64.8 billion in 2021.

Key Sectors:

South Africa is still light years ahead of any other country on the continent, which is why they have a big problem with illegals entering their country.
Indeed.
Rest in peace.
That's fair. And I believe Kenya experienced a great Christian revival in the early 20th century. IMHO, that's the difference maker. The western world had the First and Second Great Awakenings (some say the revival in the 20th century was enough to call it a 3rd Great Awakening). Most sub-Saharan nations didn't have that kind of culture improvement.
And the more we let the God-denying, baby-killing, pedo-pushing, warmageddon cult left move us away from our Christian culture, the more we risk becoming like much of Africa.
In a lot of the world a toilet is a hole in the floor. Once you get past that...
Dr. Thomas Sowell had a similar sentiment.
Ali was also a Reagan supporter. Something the leftists conveniently ignore.
Even Bob Marley’s fighting for his people supporting liberation in Zimbabwe didn’t help much. It still sucks.
