Now to the many people in the diaspora of African descent many wonder why are non blacks coming to Africa while millions of Africans still stay in outside of the continent without opportunity.The African American business and political class are responsible for the renewed interest in Africa and the confidence and optimistic outlook of Africa.From comedian Chris Tucker,Ambassador Andrew Young and Bob Johnson now West Africa has regular flights from Delta going from West African cities.The embrace of Africa by the Black middle class will mean billions in tourism and a permanent connection on both continents.African American officials and activist helped get the AGOA,African Growth and Opportunities Act passed as law.In addition to the federal law African American mayors,governors,Congressmen are creating local incentives and special trade zones for African countries.All of this unlike China is done out of kinship and love.
African elitist intellectuals are eroding the bond
These so called intellectuals have no love for their homelands outside of self serving goals and instigate conflict with not just NGO's but the large and powerful African diaspora.Instead of looking to build common bonds with fellow Blacks across borders they seem to compete with other Africans to see who is not in last place.But a hardy hand is extended to the White Europeans,Lebanese,and the Chinese to come in an bleed the continent dry.In Liberia for instance many native Liberians still see the descendants of the African American freedmen who built Liberia and made it a model nation as invaders and settlers,but they want the Lebanese who contributed nothing to Liberia to have full citizenship.THE FOLLOWING IS A CONVERSATION BETWEEN SELF HATING ANTI BLACK LIBERIAN EXPAT LIVING IN THE USA EDWIN JONES AND A LEBANESE.

Alaa I support Non blacks becoming citizens of Liberia.I think it is an atrocity that in 2010 our constitution continues to promote clear cut racism.From discussions that I have with other Liberians the sentiment is that, and permit me to use the economic power of the Lebanese
will get so strong that it would further drive the average Liberian deeper into poverty.
what are your thoughts?
2 You were born in Liberia so I consider u a Liberian what do you consider yourself as?

im a Lebanese Liberian. i have the right to be a Liberian citizen the same way u have the right to be a Liberian American with American citizenship,
As for the Lebanese econmical power in liberia its something essential to liberia, and lebanese are not the ones who are making the liberian more poor, its those who are steeling the resources from the country covered with NGO and the free money the is donated to the country but believe me nothing is free,
And lebanese are doing business only and not going to resources coz they know that the resources means problem for them, they are under the law and not above the law as others are doing.
Man u have to look at liberia which community is building in liberia,

For me First it is not even an economic issue I understand why Liberia was founded and defintely can understand why it was necessary.
Now it is overdue I believe those in the 1980s that did the amended the constitution miss an opportunity. ...See More
