That's what's up. All of the countries in African uniting to become one powerful economic and social force. I'd probably make the trip just to see it in action with my own eyes.
2. If the economy got so bad that we entered into a depression like the one in 1929.
All my life, I been po.... j/p. I'd find a way to survive.
3. If you received a check in the mail from the US government paying you for reparations, and the amount was a flat amount of $15,000
I would start another business that would be a benefit to the African American community and hopefully would provide some jobs (hey, it's never too late to get into Black Enterprise).
4. If YOU were elected president after a major overhaul of our present electoral college.
Hmm... lets see.
My running mate: Russell Simmons
Secretary of State: Federico Pena maybe
Surgen General: Dr. Benjamin Carson
Secretary of Literature: Alice Walker
I can't think of others but I'd make sure that I found something for Jessie Jackson, Al Sharpton and Kwesi MFume to do. As far as policies I would implement, I would have to get back with you on that.
5. If YOU discovered by accident a cure for cancer, aids and lukemia; but you were tempted to sell this cure for $100million dollars to a pharmeceutical company that would not use it--on EVERYBODY that needed it.

I'd find a way to make it available to everyone. I wouldn't sell it to someone who I know would not use it. There are some things in life that are more important than money and LIFE is one of them.
