@cottonhairedaesthetic2005 Hater? Oh nooooo.... We love, love, love all the African Americans here. You know, people of color come from all over the world and excel at business and academia here in the United States. It's just one "particular" people of color that can't quite seem to adjust to a modern, high tech, high skills economy, and must continually moan and complain, and walk through life with a chip on their shoulder for some 200 year old grievance, along the lines of the Hatfield and McCoy's. THEY are the ones that I wish a bright future BACK in their motherland. It's not hate for the ones that you show the door out, after the party is over, but rather love for those you hold dear on the inside. It's just getting them to leave that's the tricky part.

@MenengaiCrater is THIS the "trooping" you are talking about? The African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) was signed into law by President Clinton in May 2000 with the objective of expanding U.S. trade and investment with sub-Saharan Africa, to stimulate economic growth, to encourage economic integration, and to facilitate sub-Saharan Africa's integration into the global economy. The Act establishes the annual U.S.-sub-Saharan Africa Economic Cooperation Forum (known as the AGOA Forum) to promote a high-level dialogue on trade and investment-related issues. At the center of AGOA are substantial trade preferences that, along with those under the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP), allow virtually all marketable goods produced in AGOA-eligible countries to enter the U.S. market duty-free.
Since its inception, AGOA has helped to increase U.S. two-way trade with sub-Saharan Africa.
The U.S. Congress requires the President to determine annually whether sub-Saharan African countries are eligible for AGOA benefits based on progress in meeting certain criteria, including progress toward the establishment of a market-based economy, rule of law, economic policies to reduce poverty, protection of internationally recognized worker rights, and efforts to combat corruption. As of August 2014, 41 sub-Saharan African countries were eligible for AGOA benefits.
The U.S. Government provides assistance -- most notably through four regional trade hubs -- to African governments and businesses that are seeking to make the most of AGOA and to diversify their exports to the United States.
