Yes because historically they’re STUPID that’s why.


Bull and I don’t appreciate your sentiments. I have several friends who have adopted children from Africa. They are bright and beautiful kids who will be successful Americans. It’s the environment that dictates their future and it’s not their fault they are born into it. It’s only their fault if they don’t try to change it, but that requires something radical.

Instead (as others have pointed out) we apply our liberal view of welfare to the problem sustaining the cycle just like our own welfare system sustains the failure of culture in our own inner-cities.

The intellectually lazy way to view the problem is to simply view millions of people as sub-human when reality dictates that statistically you would be no different had you been born there.

Life is much like a lottery - you won at birth and they lost. There are no easy answers, but instead of congratulating yourself for the luck and foresight of your predecessors you might try a little compassion for those who are truly less fortunate.

“The intellectually lazy way to view the problem is to simply view millions of people as sub-human when reality dictates that statistically you would be no different had you been born there.”

I have a degree from Balliol College, Oxford University and eight generations of my family have graduated from Oxford University.

So tell me, how many African imports have University degrees? How many millions of the African imports have not only passed University entrance exams but have then graduated with a full degree?

Why are so many African imports on welfare and food stamps? Why are so many black Americans on welfare and food stamps? Why are so many black British on welfare and food stamps?

Why are more black people in our respective prisons than white people?

The list goes on.
