Incorrect but I admit they are not the ones you hear about.
It is sort of like saying there are no successful South America nations.
Also incorrect but since they are not the ones in the news a lightly educated person could be forgiven for thinking that.
What is not forgivable is someone to write an article about it and apparently do little or no research.
Don't know about that. The author grew up in Africa, traveled the continent extensively, has won awards for his books about Africa, and is a professor at the University of Nebraska. So, he might know a few things.
Well, name one. I'm trying to think of one, but can't. Maybe you can enlighten us with an example. I'm open to suggestions. And, note that the author is using the present tense. Ancient African civilizations don't count.
The man who wrote the article is Nigerian, and if you read the article, he is basically defining success with a much higher bar than your example of Ethiopia. Success means a dominant world power than can compete with the West across the spectrum of accomplishments, militarily, culturally and academically, for example.
“There Are No Successful Black Nations
Incorrect but I admit they are not the ones you hear about.”
Some examples please?
So no research? Hm...........
Chigozie Obioma, born in Nigeria, has been awarded numerous international accolades and prizes in English Literature and is a ranking Professor at the University of Nebraska.
What is absurd and embarrassing is for someone to assert that he is wrong simply because you say so, sort of like how the Cheshire Cat retorted to Alice. So kindly:
* define the parameters of a successful nation?
* list the successful Black nations?
* list the successful South American nations?
Can’t wait.
OK how about pointing out a few cities, counties or States, in the US?
