outragious! First diamonds, gems and now coffee beans!!! is there no end to the list of priceless resources we over looked in the motherland!??!?:rofl  question to patriot: is there really a niggapedia or is that more SF revisionalist humor? lol I call the wikipedia the niggapedia because I have found that it very often has a rather afro-centric tendency....    Yes, Africa is probably the most well endowed continent on Earth when it comes to natural resources. But the Blacks just don't seem to know what to do with it. I always liked Thomas Jefferson's plan myself.....the establishment of an American colony/territory somewhere in sub-saharan Africa for all of the African-Americans to go to. It could be considered a part of the United States sort of like Puerto Rico, or even a full fledged all Black African state. And all of these Western educated successful Americanized Blacks could actually take some knowledge to that continent and try to introduce some of this knowledge to the natives and take advantage of all of the vast natural resources of Africa until the Black American colony/territory could sustain itself and no longer needed the patronage of the US, and could become independent. Or just stay as a colony/territory/commonwealth/state/whatever of the US if it wanted. But of course......hardly any of the Blacks in America have the sense of adventure and balls to actually want to partake in such a momentous and mutually beneficial project.     I think it would be mutually beneficial for both the White and Black race. And for both America and the continent of Africa. The best thing. But this idea is a little bit too big for most people to handle. Because most people are as we know....sheep.
