+1 yAnyone who follows tribal mentality, will destroy themselves and those surrounding them as well.
Many countries followed tribal systems and this did not help them progress to our modern definitions of success. Of course, 200 years of slave trade, forced occupation, exploitation and battle for survival has hampered many nations (referring to the African continent and others too)
Being a successful nation is not about the color of skin, it is about moving from survival to standard of living to quality of life (this is our definition of success).
Remember, we are only as good as the least of us. So if we see that some are left behind, let us extend a helping hand as we have in the past!00 Reply

Anonymous(36-45)+1 yThe United States is by far a successful black nation. Education, equal rights, government services, representation in all jobs, free medical care to single mom's, free cell phones, food programs for all, multiple black millionaires, many black leaders and CEOs etc.

I agree with your facts and your sentiment, but only 13% of the total population of the United States is Black/African American. I think the guy who posted the question was asking about countries where the majority of the population is Black.

Ethiopia has a rich history and Nigeria has big international city. Also success doesn't look the same for everyone.

South Africa is also pretty successful if you didn't know

@OddBeMe @Tea-Spaghetti it is not dumb a nation needs a good economy, unity and a strong attachment towards their flag without these 3 things not country Can be called successful. Takes USA as an example or India or china all successful countries have these 3 features and others who are not successful lack one of these three features.

Well I am Chinese American and I have lived in China and America and even though I will agree both are good countries (and India too to a certain extent) I’d still sometimes dream of a smaller quieter country like Portugal or something. So I think every country has good sides and bad sides yah well anyways blah

No but I wouldn’t live in India either. (Or most of China and America only cherry picked places that stand out to me)

China and India both are developing nations and soon they will be developed china has astonished world with their development and india is also developing fast and both countries can ensure safety and can give chance to flourish but African nations can't. Though I will not live in China also I don't like communism.

@OddBeMe I am not judging them with race I am judging them with their nationalist feeling. A Chinese will always take pride in their culture Indians take pride in their culture but African doesn't they have a feeling of being inferior it is not me who is racist it is them. black people are racist towards black race. Don't call me racist just because your tiny brain can't understand this.

Africa does not have the same history of China and India I agree but that doesn’t mean Africa is bad and only Asia is good the world is not that black and white. Maybe for you from a developing country it is easier to think that way but in developed countries like the US people do not think that way even for me as an Asian American I feel like white Americans do not think like me sometimes. It is easy to demonize people when you are poor but when you are rich you want to see everything as good it seems

Parts of Africa are ok like Kenya and Ethiopia

@Tea-Spaghetti I think you are right but I think with more exposure to other cultures and other races my thoughts could change but still I think African continent will not develop or exceed because they don't have a glorious history but I know if keep talking to other people my thoughts will change.
