“How many organizations do we need to write about African history and culture, when none have more than 4 pages of text? How many film companies do we need, when none are making conscious viable products? We need many film companies if they are all producing solid work. But to have film companies with only slogans and empty websites is a waste of time. To have yet another African Holocaust website with only two pages of un-researched poorly formatted copy-pasted text. Why spend time building a new house, which does not even have a foundation when you can contribute to the completion of a house, which only needs a roof? Garvey said African-Americans who attempted to go into business, commercial or industrial, were at a disadvantage because they could not appreciate starting at a point and climbing up the ladder.
If everyone is a CEO of a one-man organization who is left to be employed? If everyone is right then who is setting Africa back? Many organizations are alpha male territory; structured around males with the most testosterone, who lead not on merit but on being the best shouter. Now organizations need strong leaders who are surrounded by strong people, who make harmonious contributions and as well posing challenges by being objective. Because these cliques are structured around, “agreement” and “comfort.” The frequency of personality aka ego clashes results in someone breaking off and forming yet another organization with a carbon copy agenda, inheriting blindly all the mistakes of their former group.
For $9 bucks Godaddy can register a domain name, and for $50 bucks you can print some business cards. That is not creating a business! Recording 1 artist every 5 years is not a record label. Creating wealth and quality products is another discussion. Sustaining a viable business for a decade is yet another debate.”
