What if Black America was an Independent Country?

In the 1975 movie Mondo Magic they show Africans bathing in cow urine and rolling in dirt to protect from bugs.

Now, white people would get bitten up worse than blacks by the bugs and sunburn to boot, but by 1975 when he film was made, white people would have found a different remedy...just saying.

Lots of people here who don't know history. Liberia in Africa was created when freed slaves were offered to be sent back to Africa.

Starting 50 years before the end of slavery, the American Colonization Society moved 12,000 people from America to West Africa.

Also, though it would have still been part of the U.S., there were plans made by General Sherman to give freed slaves their own land along the Atlantic coast of the South Carolina to Florida where they would have their own government representation... until President Johnson nixed it.

This revolutionary idea became a failed promise to freed slaves after the Civil War.

I never said it wasn't. Any country that is partial ruled by a warlord who's army fights naked and he sacrifices a young boy and eats his raw heart before battle isn't exactly a developed country. But that is what happens when a country is left with no structure and has been in a constant state of civil war since it started.

The problem was that the United States could not provide a reliable government organizational plan - Constitution, charter.

Also, though it would have still been part of the U.S., there were plans made by General Sherman to give freed slaves their own land along the Atlantic coast of the South Carolina to Florida where they would have their own government representation... until President Johnson nixed it.

Same problem. Freed slaves are not going to have the sophistication to compete with white politicians, much less, being harshly treated in public.

Black people are not going to be able to figure out the problem, much less, the proper solution - a reliable government chartering system.

And as is unwittingly implied by this discussion, only one white person is able to describe the root of the problem, and the proper solution.

How is that possible? Southern democrats tried it back in 1860 and look what happened.
