People with money that label themselves as African Americans should help their native land which is in deep shite instead of bitching about the land which is fine.

What about Irish and Italian Americans?
Mexcian Americans send their money back to help and people freak out about the shite.

Africa, Detroit, Baltimore, Chicago.
What's the common denominator here?
Let the white Christians take over and problems will be solved.
That is if they can make $$$.

Didn't they take over Africa a couple hundred years ago?

The root of almost all their problems is corruption. The resources are there, but being filtered to the few rich and powerful who are manipulating the system. Get rid of the corruption and most of the issues will be resolved
Corruption there =/= corruption in developed nations.
One corrupt entity will literally kill people to keep its power.
The other will simply enrich itself but won't kill anyone and is likely to be held accountable by a more intelligent population.
Intelligence would help those in Africa realize killing each other doesn't help them survive as a collective group.
I was just reading the other day how there are areas of Africa where there are times a mob of people will pry a criminal or accused person out of prison and kill them in the street without judge or jury, pure unchecked animalistic emotions.
Another anecdote was a village (they had smartphones) that accused a group of elders of practicing "witchcraft", and they dealt with that via a mob of villagers beating the old people until they could no longer resist, throwing big branches on top of them and setting them on fire.
There's no corruption involved in that. That's a complete lack of civility and intelligence.

Start with Detroit. It's worse off. At least Africa has natural resources.

Should they be sending money back to solve their motherlands financial problems?

Well, a lot of Americans are pissed at this. You'll have to believe me I guess.

Yep. They're about to make a ton of money off that continent.
They have been for more than 10 years. They build nearly everything in Africa now.

Coloniazation fricked that continent up. They fractured up land with little regard for historic boundries. Centralized government is good, but not when it is forced and maintained with blood.
Infrastructure is being advanced at amazing rates. Especially compared to America.
Urbanization is coming to Africa and that will bring cheap labor and educational advancements.
