...getting them to imagine a world where Africa might have grown into something else isn't gonna happen.
This is basically just warmed-over, Leonard Jeffries-style ethno-nationalism. And it's laughable. It's premised on the perception that the historic difficulties Negroid peoples in sub-Saharan Africa endured, are somehow of a wholly more detrimental and regressive character than those innumerable wars, tyrannies, and assorted sociocultural catastrophes that the peoples of Europe and Asia endured during the development of their various lands.
Things were tough all over; Black suffering isn't unique, or unprecedented. But their lack of achievement is so evident, that even you decry it...while implying it's someone else's fault.
There's a reason they put the Afro-Futurism books over there in the fiction section. Everyone is aware of the data about what happens when you administer I.Q. tests in sub-Saharan Africa, and how those results compare to those of various other peoples. The median IQ for Bantus is in the low 80s, for crying out loud. It's no great mystery what has been going on. It's just considered gauche to say it out loud. But everyone knows. You know it too.
