I wish President Obama had used his speech at the memorial of Nelson Mandela to introduce his strategy to solve the issues of governance, corruption, the rule of law, fairness, equality, education, health care, and the provision of basic amenities such as food, clean drinking water, affordable electricity, shelter and appropriate sanitation in sub-Saharan Africa.
-- He has the moral authority in intervening in our problems because his father is Kenyan, and it will be a precedence that his successor Hillary Clinton will have no pretext but to pursue given the value of the African-American vote in US's elections.
This action will initiate the issue of "return" for Black people. "Intellectuals" will question the location and existence of the state of Israel, but Jews all over the world have a place they call HOME which is comparable socio-economically and politically to any developed nation. Consequently, Jews may not be liked but they are respected.
