Are there any countries run by blacks that are not poverty stricken and in turmoil?

South Africa seems to be doing OK.\n\nIf a nation isn't in turmoil it's not going to make the news, so you have to be pretty knowledgeable in geography and politics to know which of the 160 nations or so are not in the news and are predominantly black.

most black people of the 20th century were born and raised in the United States and if u haven't seen the news lately, a lot of stuff has been going on in Africa... (diseases, killings, and poverty) just to name a few... \n\nAfrica is the place where we orginal came from...but if u are born and raised in a country... u tend to consider the country u live in as your home and not the place you came from in the past generations...You rememeber the past and where you come from, but ur eyes are looking toward the future...\n\nAmerica seems to have a lot more freedom, especially when u look at the news and see wat is going on in Africa right now...

Oh gosh, look at the map.  Most of Africa, though not all. Most Muslim countries except Malaysia, Indonesia and Turkey. Many Central Asian nations, and there are a two dictatorships incubating in South America. Then Cuba and North Korea.  A great many still in existence.

This is so easy, the most impoverished nation on the planet is Mozambique in Africa. \n\nIn my church they showed us a picture of a native and he was wearing two-liter coke bottles strapped to his feet for shoes....you should google Mozambique and write and essay on what life would be like living in that country versus the goold old US of A.

thats because slavery has never ended, the mental drain of africa is an ongoing thing, europe and americas where all built by africans.\nand to be quite honest africa has its own problems to be worried about what happened in the past especially when there is so much shit going down in this continent

No, I don't...\nBut Teri...what does being black have to do with it? Nothing. If you're THAT kind of person, go to Africa and see how "safe" you feel there.

well, how lucky that we just studied this in school.  As a few of the above people have said, when British imperialists came in a made new borders, ethnic groups were forced into close proximity which obviously cause conflict.  Because Africa is so rich in natural resources (gold, oil, etc.)  many poor ethinic groups will want power over thees resources.  not helping at all, are the corrupt governments in africa which lack any infrastructure or laws.  the black market is also a big problem in Africa because it doesnt allow equal ditribution of money made from these resources.  it also funds many terrorist activities which, in turn, prevent any real government from being set up in those areas.  So, a mixture of economical problems, corrupt govts., black markets, and terrorism (all fueled by ethnic strife) is the cause of so much instability in Africa.  Hope i helped\n\n\nTIm\n\n\np.s.

possible countries include but not limited to:\nSouth Africa - the country has a suberb government and national infrastracture, both in industry and commerce and in civic structures. it also has a lot of minerals and agriculture potential. this country can influence africa economically. it has the economical muscle.\nZimbabwe - good country with a lot of potential in mining, agriculture and manufactoring, but bad leaders. this country has shown that it can influence africa politically\nNigeria - has a lot of oil and can influence africa by its oil.\nBostwana - a lot of diamonds, good lifestyle, but still to be respected by the african countries. its too quiet at present.

The American government isn't doing anything to help Africa at all. There are American Christian organizations that send aid to Africa like the Red Cross from the Catholics. The Bible belt doesn't give them anything they are just cheating the public, and lining there pocket's for themselves. TV Evangelists are scam artists, that money never gets to the poor people of Africa,(They are thieves). That is why the problem never gets any better.

Hi, All african countries have cars and houses so that's the wrong way to put it.  Judged by Gross Domestic Product we have unusual answers.  Yes, first South Africa is far ahead, but the other four contenders are Botswana, Namibia, Tunisia and Gabon.  All these countries have different development strategies, and I'd say that Botswana and Gabon are not developed at all, they simply have natural resources and a small population.  Botswana has diamonds, and Gabon has oil, but Botswana has a nearly 40% AIDS rate, and Gabon has most of its country as undeveloped jungle, with nearly no industries.  \n\nMy answers would be \n1) South Africa: it's industrialised and now with the end of Apartheid many blacks have risen to economic success. \n2) Tunisia: they've managed to become a prime tourist destination and use the money for industrialisation, they've done it all without oil or diamonds.\n3) Namibia: Quite similar to South Africa, was in fact part of Apartheid South Africa until 1992, so again industry created by European settlers with the usual problems of bad distribution and exclusion of the native population. \n4) Marocco: Another tourist destination in Africa, but they have done not as well as Tunisia in terms of lifting the rest of the population out of poverty.  \n5) An unlikely answer, but Ivory Coast: They were essentially doing well before the war and are likely to bounce back after it, the prosperity was starting to cause ethnic tensions and that really brought the country down in 2002.\n\nI exclude places like Algeria where despite the oil boom, most people live in fear.  Libya is still a one-man rule, I'll wait and see on that case.  I'm not impressed by oil or diamonds when they can't help an AIDS crisis or create good housing for all, so places like Gabon don't figure high in my statistics.  \n\nOh, and some the islands of Africa (Cap verde, Seychells, Mauritius are doing relatively well, partly due to offshore financial centres, and tourism).  But offshore finance also gives a veil of secrecy for capital to escape out of the resource rich countries, therefore harming the countries like Nigeria which is oil rich.  So Mauritius bankers are actually causing poverty in rest of Africa... see below the link.
