If America was Majority Black...

[Axolotl]

Basically Haiti. However, there were no pilgrims or puritans that came to the colonies. Blacks had a major slave revolt which gave us freedom as people and as a sovereign state.

How different would America be?

Thin Britain is going to let you have the whole of the USA and all its resources to yourself brehs

My bad, I meant haiti

 

[smokeurobinson]

We'd have a Black Donald Trump. A Black George Bush. A Black Bill Clinton. A Black Reagan and a Black Nixon. And Hollywood and all its filth would be Black.

Elaborate

The America you theorized would probably have been a reason for World War 1 happening a bit sooner.

What people don't realize is prior to WW1, Europe was in a long period of sustained peace and prosperity since the end of the Napoleonic Wars. Although there were battles and tension, shyt was relatively peaceful. (Interesting enough, I know many people talk about how greedy europeans are but, in actuality, most of the populations didn't understand enough to care about the colonies that were being established abroad. The greed was really all the aristocracy.)

What also was happening was European leaders were literally playing monopoly with the continent of Africa and they were licking their chops at jumping on the territories of the Ottoman Empire because of its impending collapse.

Now, if North America was a sovereign territory of mainly blacks, that could have looked very different depending on the trajectory of established society.

• Would the Black population have just become tribal much like our ancestors and the native Americans to the West? If so, that North American territory would be like free lunch for the numerous world powers ready to colonize and claim resources.
• Would the Black population have established its own unified government? If so, we'd have had bloody battles and wars with the Native Americans while trying to take over territory and resources in order to sustain a large society that can protect itself from foreign wolves.
• Would the Black population have established various nations across North America? If so, the coastal nations would be vulnerable to foreign influence and possible invasion by greedy world nations trying to land grab.

I believe those European nations would have probably engaged in War prior to 1914 as a result of many of the tensions + the added tension of "who's going to conquer the American territories first."

It sucks but considering Native Americans were too tribal and traditionalist to agree to join and assimilate into a Black American government, I believe we would have adopted a lot of the imperialistic characteristics that are attributed to Euros on the way to establishing a unified "Black United States." It would have still been cool from my perspective of a Black man in America but we'd have joined that alternate timeline's category of "Imperialistic societies."

Leadership is EVERYTHING. Had Toussaint L'ouverture not allowed himself to be tricked and captured, the history of Haiti would have played out much differently.
Cut off the head....and we know the rest.

They would do what they did to Haiti...isolate them and have them indebted.

And Europe/White Supremacy will look out for each other.

 

[UncleTomFord15]

Blacks would still be at the bottom

 

[Hawaiian Punch]

I don’t think blacks folks have a level for the extreme violence that cacs used to create this country. I mean it requires an extreme level of disregard for human life to displace all those indigenous people. Added to that having second class citizens to cheaply finance the building of the country. Plus America became a superpower after world War 2, by dropping a bomb on Hiroshima and vaporizing thousands of people.

I feel like in the absence of that evil we would revert back to a communal living structure. Would technology have been as advanced? Probably not, but the cost for this advanced technology has been the destruction of our planet.

 

[TRAP AMERICAN TV]

Ghana

 

[Hugs]

Marvin Gaye would be the American cantor instead of Frank Sinatra

Richard Pryor would have a healthy Hollywood career like Steve Martin

There'd be a thriving arts house scene full of black people

Michael Jackson and Malcolm X would probably be on money

Every major industry from Finance to technology would be run by black people, and we'd barely listen to cacs crying about representation

You get the picture

 

[Ghost Utmost]

Let's pretend we have our own place in the world. Start from exactly how things are this second.

Now. Let's feed ourselves, build some infrastructure, educate our own kids, and be honest and hardworking.

Or do we just like imagination games?

Cause it's on us right now to creare a space for our children.
