What you've said here speaks volumes. Talk about some rebels without a clue just searching.

China saying that about us black people does have a lot more impact than what you might expect.

"Africa should unite or die" Qaddafi

The united states of Africa is great idea if African leaders could work out some problematic issues, such as
what would be the official language of Africa, freedom of religion, establishing a continental banking system, drawing up a bill of rights and constitution and establishing a national defense. I agree with gaddafi that it is the only way to compete with the other world and regional powers. Now is the time to do it. The worlds leading hegemonic power is tied up in competition with emerging powers. There is a window of opportunity for africa to get it's act together. all Africa needs now is the will.

Peace

For the idea of a united states of Africa to come to fruition, african leaders need to form a think tank. Believe it or not Africans from the ancient kingdom of Mali had government departments such as agriculture, treasury, defense,trade etc..
African leaders could intelligently speed up the process of continental nationalization by agreeing to become governors of their present countries while holding a continent wide vote for the next president of Africa. I think the African leaders should build continent wide relationships with any country willing to help build up it's infrastructure ie roads, bridges, reservoirs, and health and sanitation for a fair price. Unless this is done all other efforts become problematic. So I think the first step to a united Africa would be for Africans leaders to try to heal old wounds by deading old issues with each other and agreeing to build a continent wide transportation system. Because you need to be able to move goods and services and defend your country. Also there can be no industrial revolution in Africa without mobility. Africans and we of the African diaspora have big enough minds to do it. For the survival of all of us we must develop the will.

Peace and love brothers and sisters.
