I have noticed that the Ethiopian coffe thing is just about Ethiopians, South Africa day is just about South Africans, Darfur people from Sudan. I dont really believe that many white people care about Africa beyond their own interest.
Amnesty is an all white agenda, yes naturally they do some good, just look at there website and look for our face. it is our face in their story. When i was back home you see NADA in terms of help, what you do see is them with the landcrusiers driving up and down to the expensive hotels. Or flying in white experts to talk about the issue.
The rest nothing to do with us.
My issue is forums are not used correctly, i have been on some forums that actually do the work. To date i have not seen any organization with a program that changes the root of the problem with a real solution. YOu either get the boycott group which says "do support them support the nothing we are doing" or the well meaning local group which has no means of touching the masses (at least they try)
The issue is we dont link our struggles. I have heard of ROV, and they something for Victory. And they seem to be on the correct path. They have a campaign they work with these "charities" they also do something constructive which i havent seen anyone else doing they actually have a resource link which points people to African products and information. I think this is key. Their site needs a touch up. This is who we should support but again i suspect their might be a white face in there which is why they can speak to the charities like Anti-Slavery.

Time to move beyond rhetoric, and dont leave the work for someone else to do. for example how long does it take to sign the action plan they are proposing?

u bring up so many amazing points that we as black people really need to start addressing...it is SCARY what is going on...
everydayNGOS are being formed with the "lets save Africa" platform..NO BLACKS ALLOWED
now tell me...if they were truly interested in helping..eradicating poverty..then why is it they make an effort to make blacks feel uncomfortable and unwelcomed....
im telling you...i believe u 100% because when i attend these meetings i feel so
out of place...not a blackperson in site...except the african child with a big belly and flies all around him in their advertisement
in fact...some of these organizations are filled with indians, chinese, arab...i mean..everyone else is welcome to discussed issues in Africa except blacks...now...WHY IS THAT?
ur absolutely right...the root cause of the issue is not going to be addressed because they dont WANT to address it....to goal is to make Africa and Africans totally dependent and subservient
"tell the african you are here to help him, give him food and shelter, give him money to go to school and learn a trade....he will forever be thankful and greatfulto the great western nations who cared enough to bring him out of his own ignorance and poverty"
