"Nothing is clearer than the tragic fact that Africa, like the
rest of the black world, has only the illusion of being free and
independent....It is still as economically enshackled as it ever was, in some
respects more so. The study of this period and the conditions it presents will
confront the Blacks of the world with the final challenge. The response to that
challenge will be the test of the genius of the race. The outcome and, indeed,
the whole future of the race depends upon the extent to which we have become
intellectually emancipated and decaucasianized enough to pioneer in original
thinking. Those who do become free in fact, will no longer readily grab the
white man's ideologies and systems whether capitalism, the Western version of
democracy, or communism, without a critical review and analysis to determine
whether Africa's own traditional system, when updated, may not be truly
superior and best fitted to meet the aspirations of the black world."

The Destruction of Black Civilization
The economic, political and social situation in Africa is the blight against all humanity. Self-determination is the key to correct this disgraceful legacy of colonialism and greed. Excellent point, my friend.
