Rosewood & Tulsa: Tragedies, no doubt. But what about the other majority black economic hubs? What about Jackson Ward? Parrish Street? Georgetown?
HBCUs: Weren't most of them either built by whites (UMES, Howard, etc) or strongly supported by them? Tuskegee? And wasn't their decline largely because of desegregation?
Reconstruction: The 1877 Compromise had alot to do with the aftermath of that. But what about Booker T?
Garveyism: Lots of issues there, one of them being that Garvey surrounded himself with way too many "yes men." Also lets not forget about the fact that people like DuBois and the NAACP sabotaged him.
Gaddafi: A demagogue who helped train and arm thugs like Charles Taylor and Sankoh Forday who destroyed Liberia and Sierra Leone. Also was friends with Idi Amin and Mengistu of Ethiopia. Very happy he's dead
Sankara: A good natured man who had some right ideas. Was killed by a student of Gaddafi.
Nkrumah: A good independence leader, not so good head of state. Essentially made himself president for life, created a one party state in Ghana and threw people in jail who didn't agree with him.
Lumumba: Not a good leader at all. Only really known for making speeches and embezzling money. Got himself killed after he raised all government salaries except for the military. Not a skilled strategist and talked way too much. Also not really a Communist even though he's somehow become a symbol for them
I have agreed with him. And being correct and being popular have nothing to do with one another by the way.
and yet no one but Chris B and ejthompson (who both I have on ignore but can see the daps) has agreed with you, while im dapped up and have had multiple cosigns

What is this referring to? You said Eastern Europe has always been behind but Russia has been the big dog the vast majority of the past 100 years.
I said local.
And it still doesn't change the fact that banking in a country 6x as old should have better financial systems
Technology as in electronics but I expect you to argue semantics when you have no argument
You did when you claimed private business owners would create public goods and social infrastructure without government intervention.
how do your daps change the fact that you lied about reading GGS, and you posted the image of the book for some cool points like a clown and said things about the book that were not in the book
i didnt know we were competing for daps, but ive gotten daps too, and all your cosigns are from marxists

I'm not sure what this is rebutting.
You're lost and that is fine.
You do things your way and us Blacks who want real change will go about it our way.
I read some of your posts and used to think you was bright...now I'm thinking otherwise...i wouldn't even have you on my plantation with you thinking like that...

Believing in a social component with capitalism isn't Marxist![]()
Cold War ring any bellsBig dog in Eastern Europe or in the world?
Local as in indigenous?
But when was that comparison made by me?
So meanings of words don't matter?
I'd love to see where I did that.

i never once thought you were bright..I read some of your posts and used to think you was bright...now I'm thinking otherwise...

If you say so. I can actually get into details. You're only capable of name dropping. But if you want to feel victorious, go ahead.
Yup. By continuing down the Cultural/Economic Marxist path apparently. Have fun with that.
And what way is that? You guys have no real vision other than complain how white supremacy is holding our people back. Any real change will require you to take accountability for your own predicament. And we all know how you feel about.
come up with something new 
Cold War ring any bells
Sure
My point is that age of a country needs to be considered when discussing infrastructure
Not if you knew what was meant
You claimed the government needed to shrink and that private business owners would create public goods and social infrastructure
Lets get into the details.
The Nordic countries are doing the shmoney dance
