From what you saying lowkey that’s why I’ve been pondering on the fact that black American industrialists wherever they may be need to somehow get in on africaI guess the question here is, what's the mission of the Talented Tenth?
To follow on, how many members of the talented tenth agree with the mission?
And of those that agree, how many are in a position to effect the mission?
I've personally thought that a Henry Ford/Michael Dell figure was needed, in fact dozens of industrialists.
The only way to bring the Black mass up - was to operate like a global multi-national.
As I've grown up, I've made my few little dollars doing white collar work - but the cats that were really getting it - they doing land deals and government contracting. On the one hand, hiring some black folks to renovate a house is cool, and putting on some lawyers and accountants to do the govt deals is nice - but it's not Bezos nice - where you got states giving all types of benefits and deals to bring your business...
And this is also why black folks need to go even harder on higher education, I know it’s a joke to some and they don’t see the vision but we need them skilled workers, that’s how you gain power as a small group
