Mansa... I am going to take Parris point... when we read the Destruction of Black Civilisation (how I love that book)

I remember that how many of the other cultures came to takeover... is they took jobs and worked within the system... and before they knew it a large number of non african races had penetrated the continent...

We have to do the same and penetrate as many of their organisations on a senior level as we can... more so... there is nothing to say he won't transfer those skills at a later stage to something that will benefit our people...

After all, Africa and the Carribean are being left behind in the space race due to a lack of funding... because I know that there is a dearth of knowledged... so how can we get in the space race if we aren't willing at some point to collaborate on American and European projects?

More than this, I would rather see 10 Fred Gregory's than the normal stereotypical garbage that they pump out about black people full stop...

Thing is Mansa we can't have it both ways... we can't complain of our people being overlooked and discriminated against for these top jobs... and then complain when they get them...

I will do a little more research into Fred Gregory, however one thing I know for sure is that I will make my final judgement on him based on his actions in his posisition at NASA...
