First, let me say that this is not to promote one political philosophy over another, only an honest comment in regards to an interesting blog entry. And I'm honestly not being sracastic.
I was browsing through some blogs today, and one Black conservative remarked that he felt as if he lived in No-Man's land: not truly accepted by whites, but politically too "white" to be accepted by Blacks. This came of the tails of me perusing some Black nationalist websites that called for the development of a new African nation for North American and European Blacks. Why don't the Black conservatives pick their most intelligent, hard-working, dedicated members, raise some money, and lease some land somewhere in Africa? It could start small, like a village, so that it would be easily sustainable. You could raise your children in a Jewish-like Kibbutz, which studies have shown to increase learning, IQ, and emotional stability. You can make your own rules and select your members carefully, so as to not have any friction from difference in philosophy or leadership struggles. You could work your village from the ground up, helping the native Africans in he process. Your success would prove to Blacks that you can indeed raise yourself up rom your boot straps with almost nothing and be successful, which would inspire more people, which would help you gain prominence. Heck, after a while you just might make your own prosperous country as an example to the world and the rest of us. Why has this not been done, yet? I mean, I personally know a few well-off Blacks who own very nive houses in western Africa and bought it for beans. Surely a group of capable and adventurous selected families and individuals can get their own village up and going in no time. If I had the money I just might something similar.
