No first world black run countries exist.

Barbados was founded and established by Spaniards, not by people of African descent. The Black population there are imported slaves from African colonies. Also 90+% of it's economy comes from tourism, chimps could run an economy like that, no real things that require brainpower such as manufacturing, innovation in technology science, and infrastructure, think space exploration, assembly line, atomic bomb design. There are no world renowned schools or colleges in Barbados as in Europe and the U.S.A. . It's simply a place where westerners (and others) go for vacation because of its warm weather. Same story with the Bahamas. Simply put, having a country with an above average GDP inhabited by primarily African people doesn't say much.

Exactly.

The Barbados government has invested heavily in education, resulting in a literacy rate of 98%, one of the highest in the world. Primary runs from 4 to 11, with secondary 11 to 18. The majority of schools at both levels are state-owned and run. Barbados speaks English and its not governed by white people at all.

Wow, they can read. Lol, so what, they still haven't contributed anything to human civilization.

Lol thanks for proving my point further, they speak English, a European, non African language. If it was really governed by African descended people shouldn't they speak an indigenous African language.

Their politicians and ministers are black, so yeah, its a country governed by negroes. And, let tell me you: Barbados got its independence from England since 1966.

"Forty percent of the tourists come from the UK, with the US and Canada making up the next large groups of visitors to the island."

Lol I wonder what would become of this little island if tourists from those places stopped coming.
