Why Africa is off-limits in the US presidential debates | openDemocracy

http://africandiasporaleaders.com/ With over one billion people, 54 countries and some of the fastest growing economies in the world, Africa should feature prominently in any foreign policy discussion. But in the 2016 US election season, African affairs have been deliberately marginalised. During the first two US presidential debates, the world’s second largest continent was barely mentioned, and filtered only through the racial and religious politics of ‘birther’ and Benghazi sound bites. The reason for this marginalisation is intimately linked to the legacy of the search terms “Obama and Kenya” and the clickbait of conspiracy theories which have proliferated about African affairs since 2008. Africa has been historically marginalised in US foreign policy and dominated by American idioms of crisis. Obama’s political rise fueled a new nativist ‘crisis’, which reimagined racist tropes from the past through right-wing critiques and conspiracies about the first African American preside

Immigrants Keep Capitalism Fresh

https://www.diasporaengager.com/miniRegister BERTIE CHARLES FORBES launched this magazine 99 years ago. He was 37 years old but already a seasoned business journalist. At 14 he left school to become a printer’s devil, setting type for a local newspaper in Scotland. By 16 he was a reporter in Aberdeen, and by 21 he had moved to Johannesburg, South Africa and eventually landed a job writing for the Rand Daily Mail. At 24 B.C. sailed to New York and established himself as a business and financial scribe for Hearst newspapers, working his way up to become business and financial editor of the New York American. His articles were syndicated in newspapers around the country. B.C. began FORBES in 1917 to celebrate free enterprise and the human spirit that made the prosperous life possible. Half a world away Vladimir Lenin started the Soviet Union to quash enterprise and empty the human spirit into a formaldehyde jar. Lenin’s horrible experiment died in 1989, but FORBES keeps going. B.C.

Immigrant Entrepreneurship: Just the Facts

https://www.diasporaengager.com/miniRegister Greater acceptance of immigrant entrepreneurs can boost falling rates of firm formation, create jobs for Americans and spur economic growth. The nature of research is that there are always questions to answer. But, having questions for further research doesn’t mean there are not any facts. Such is the case with immigrant entrepreneurship. Like an encyclopedia for entrepreneurship, the Kauffman Foundation-created State of the Field summarizes the current state of knowledge about various entrepreneurship topics. State of the Field’s immigration section begins with a fact: “We know that immigrants in the United States tend to be more entrepreneurial than the native-born population.” Here’s another fact: New and young businesses create nearly all of the net new jobs in the U.S. economy each year. That means if you want job creation, you want entrepreneurs. And if you want entrepreneurs, a good bet is that you’ll find them among i

There Are More Immigrant Billionaires In The U.S. Than Ever Before | Huffington Post

http://africandiasporaleaders.com/order/ The Forbes 400 list might look like just a bunch of really, really rich Americans from afar. But what’s notable this year is that an unprecedented number of those who made the list ― including three married couples ― are foreign-born. Overall, the 42 foreign-born entries on the 400 list have a combined net worth of nearly $250 billion, and come from 21 different countries. With six people, Israel has the most representation, followed by India with five, and Hungary and Taiwan with four each. As far as continents, Asia and Europe led the pack with 21 and 15 people, respectively. Sergey Brin, co-founder of Google, is 10th on the list. His estimated net worth is $37.5 billion, according to Forbes. He and his family fled Soviet Russia when he was 6 years old due to anti-Semitism.

U.N. FINDS OBAMA'S AMERICA A VERY DANGEROUS PLACE FOR AFRICAN-AMERICANS - The African Sun Times

http://africandiasporaleaders.com/ “Killings of unarmed African Americans by the police is only the tip of the iceberg in what is a pervasive racial bias in the justice system,” the report highlighted. Police killings and continued racial discrimination against African Americans in the United States are reminiscent of racial terror practices which were once used against black slaves, according to a United Nations-affiliated human rights body report released earlier this week. Presenting the findings to the ongoing 33rd session of the Human Rights Council (HRC), the Chairperson of HRC’s Working Group of Experts on People of African Descent warned that “the legacy of colonial history, enslavement, racial subordination and segregation, racial terrorism and racial inequality in the United States remained a serious challenge.” According to statistics, the U.S. jail population stands at some 2.2 million individuals, with a further 7 million offenders on parole or probation.
