"Black Britons The Next Generation: ( article 28th Jan 2016)...

......Africans remain less integrated than Caribbeans. Eight out of ten Africans choose an African partner, whereas by comparison less than half of Caribbeans settle down with a fellow Caribbean. A child under ten who has a Caribbean parent is more than twice as likely as not to have a white parent.
Some believe that Africans’ delay in integrating may actually help to explain their success..."

"2016 was a big year in terms of online marketing in particular, with an increasing focus on mobile meaning any business without a cross-device strategy will struggle in the months to come. More broadly though, new technologies are making it easier for businesses to qualify and quantify the effects of their marketing campaigns and for that reason, I’d expect to see more businesses investing in and benefitting from marketing in the new year.”

" I have Pan-Afrikan parents.
My parents generation were out to reclaim our culture but we, or
my generation, we are out to reclaim our wealth.", from a young lady in her 20s,

The Afrikan & Afrikan Caribbean communities must realise that culture dictates what you buy/sell.
Nations tries to create a demand for their products/services by exporting their 'way of life' or cultural values through ways of trading.

"......Bilateral free trade agreements (FTAs) are made between two countries. Throughout the world, many governments have signed, are negotiating, or contemplating new bilateral free trade and investment agreements.......

There is ample evidence to show that on the contrary, these kinds of agreements only allow transnational corporations (TNCs) more freedom to exploit workers and to shape the national and global economy to suit their interests...."
