If it becomes a reality, most of Africa's problems can be eliminated in a matter of months. By federalizing all of the most valuable commodities, they would begin with an operating budget, so money wouldn't be a problem. Adopting a national language, and a national attitude of tolerance towards differences in religion is key to the success of the plan.

I hope I'm not turning this thread into something else. But, your comments are raising more questions in my mind. You mentioned Africa having a common language (I'll leave the religious tolerance alone). I WAS an extremely optimistic person. However, I'm a realist. I just don't see it happening.
And Professor, that's a great question. I'm sure that those who are educated about what we have accomplished in this country (our mere survival), are proud of us. However, I know their are some who hold negative attitudes towards us. But, I liken it to those African Americans who remain uneducated about the various cultures and contributions of people on the continent.
