@ananse77 The IMF and world Bank are what help build up Japan South Korea Indonesia Twain and Hong Kong.

@ananse77 This lady is a buffer. She doesn't mention a independent African money based on gold away from the outsiders and African military. They can't use imperialism and colonialism directly. They have to do this way with black people they educated and controlled with a western white doctrine. She's not coming with African worldview or perspective. She's with a white one. Their History and nature shows us that we should never trust them when it comes to our interest and survival.

@ananse77 America the child of Europe had to take the lead in enforcing the scam of control while western Europe rebuilt its infrastructure in the 50's 60's and 70's. America used the CIA wars coups and assassination to keep other non white countries in control. Lets get one-thing straight without African resources Western economies and Asians would collapse in a few months. Our labor and the wealth produce from that should make things clearer for you.

@ananse77 It was western white civilization that started the IMF World Bank UN and world trade organization. After WW2 western Europe inferstructure was destroyed by the war. The colonials from the past 500yrs of imperialism where wanting independence from whites. The west came up with a knew scam to keep the colonies in check. IMF and World bank instituted to help so-called third world countries develop.

@ananse77 Are you familiar with term of black face representing white power. We had that since slavery and its no different today. They trained black people in western schools. Those western schools paradigm are about the interest and survival of western white civilization. Why do you think whites get in a up roar about black schools coming for our own perspective. That's about power interest and survival. She speaks for white power just in a different scheme.

@ananse77 Today is a new day and I believe in alliances. However with alliances we have to make sure that its in our interest for our survival first before any other group. The past 2000yrs other groups have had their interest and survival in our minds as first. We have be able to punish people for their misdeeds to black people. When has that happen in the past 600yrs to today. Who's punishing the west for Libya Iraq Afghanistan and etc? Nobody.

@ananse77 We have enough African empires and civilization to follow as examples for us. Its in our DNA and blood. We just need to tap into our own knowledge of ourselves. That's what whites are afraid of letting happen. They know our history when we are not bother with outside force. You get Egypt Nubia Ethiopia Great Zimbabwe Mali Songhai Ghana Timbuktu and etc.
