I guess the title has to do with Ghana having a somewhat stable economic, better infrastructures than most black country in West Africa.

They were called that because the country's nationalists set the tone for other countries on the continent to crave independence and self rule from the colonial masters.

They were called the shining black star of Africa... Black meaning they were the black sheep of the colonial rule and shining signified the abundance of gold.

What are some suggestions you may have for helping black Americans "regain" or "introduce" them to their lost culture?
As far as the "baby mama" issue, I read about single mothers all of the time here on NL (be it due to rape, polygamy, adulterous spouse, never married "player" who doesn't want a kid etc.,) so clearly, this is a worldwide issue....
Being a part of the "solution" rather than the "problem" is a good thing smiley

baby mama is a big problem in Black america compared to other communities in the world

encouraging black americans to stop dating thugs will be the first solution

There are plenty of baby mamas in Nigeria. Nigerians just pretend it doesn't exist and give the child to their mums to raise. There is also a very high rate of abortion among Nigerian women, due to the lack of using birth control. Also if you think about it, a man who has 2 or 3 wives is not different than a man with a wife and 2 baby mamas. As of now there are men in Nigeria who are specifically rejecting the married life due to lack of resources, and being content with a woman having his child. This happens in almost all countries that industrialize. Women don't put up with beatings, side chicks, child molestation and other things once they have the means to provide for themselves. Less people marry and more people divorce, once the women of a society become financially buoyant.
