Yes... I agree with Baron samedi... education and sponsoring are key. As sponsoring other organisations you will have much influence or a say. Buy many shares...Best off buying stocks and shares and investing in bonds... can't strictly rely on 'business revenue'. Use blacks to advertise recruitment... trust me, you will attract mostly blacks , many who feel they want a change of career... offer to sponsor MBAs on a 'year' out for 'exceptional employees... Also ... invest in property development and technology (two things which provide a continual return)...money is power... like Richard Branson you could go into 'anything' when you have the finance... (that man is everywhere) technology would be the best investment though... even if you could not take something very far yourself... sell the patent and then buy up many shares in the owner company who have the resources to develop it (only if you know it is going to be success though). ...... ....... ........ ......... ........ ......... ........ ......... ........ ......... ....... ........ ........ ....... ....... ....... ........ ........ ...... ......Start up a charity... and aim to have a branch in each country in Africa... African's may feel more encouraged to contribute if they know it is a FUBU charity organization. You could even set up this unique scheme where African's in the West and whomever have money could set up direct debits and give 50p a month to this charity... This is a small amount but there are millions of disaspora who would like the idea....it's a small amount so people may not mind....and they feel they would be helping those 'back home'which would in turn could be used to upgrade many 'destitute' areas and provide employment...they could become more organized and charge higher prices for their goods they sell to the west, in turn people would get paid more and benefit from a higher standard of living. This could also be increased to £1 a month, in time of drought, famine, and natural disaster as they have devastating effects. ...... ....... ........ ......... ........ ......... ........ ......... ........ ......... ....... ........ ........ ....... ....... ....... ........ ........ ...... ......Buy up AIDS drugs in an African countries currency... then they would be cheaper and not charged the extortionate prices they are. Or better yet, but up the patent for these drugs ( if the companies are willing to sell) and then make and sell them at your own prices. No relying on the West Would not have to rely on ' the white west' and take handouts and be critcised for when it is 'not enough'. This would be a very unique charity. Because of it's ideas...and would attract many black celebrities (for promotion and contribution) and in time , others to contribute. Also set up colleges and universities. Education and employment are key to making changes... but politics and unrest in certain countries may be a barrier.
