Word/power to your endeavors but I do have a problem with your repetitive statements of "well come over here".
I, nor many other black people, are not going to Afrika any time soon...possibly not at all in one's lifetime.
And so what!
Are the only problems I am to be concerned about only existent in Afrika? Would it be possible that there are noble undertakings here in America and other parts of the Diasporan globe? Or is the center of the world now transfixed on Afrika just because it is the center of YOUR universe?
What if I say to you "why aren't you in Somali. You belong there" or "why aren't you in Darfur. You belong there"?
There is no hierarchy brother man. So you may need to come down off of your savior complex.
Issues face our people EVERYWHERE. Who are you to tell ones where they ought to serve?
Just because people do not plaster their children's faces on the internet or have a Spacebook page does not mean they are not serving.
It means they are not working with "the man" and are not on his approval radar screen.
It would not be nice to assume you have your nose up in the air,boasting: "hey everyone, look at me...I'm saving Afrikans...can you match that?"
Everyone is not in a position to, nor should they abandon their own endeavors concerning family, friends and community to serve on another battlefront. That's YOUR move. I know your children did not have a choice and maybe your wife didn't neither. But don't project your decision upon others outside your command structure.
And by the way, service and business are not ToMAYto or ToMAHto. To run a business, you must extract/receive and harness an asset for the priority of preserving the entity. To serve, you simply give without expectation nor need of return.
No wonder "the man" is behind this.
