It’s obviously racism, low taxes and lack of gay marriage.

Corruption, welfare states and nobody wants to work?
Just my guess
Africa is rich in natural resources but the corrupt few partake in the wealth

Let’s start with sub-Saharan architecture - huts made from sticks and mud similar to what a beaver can build.

Genetics governs the outcome in a society?

I’m certain that just like here, all of their unjust problems are due to oppression by straight white males.

Culture. Culture. Culture. In this case, many that belong confined to a petri dish.

“Corrupt government and government employees and continued civil wars.”
Well, we have that here too. Maybe because they keep blaming the white man for their problems..

Yep, that's something these studies go out of their way to avoid; genetics, race, and intelligence.

I always thought that Leftists believed that it was because the racist Europeans and Americans stole everything from Africa and South America during the colonial periods; that, because there was nothing left, that's why they were poor.
And I laughed at their arguments then as now ...

Because whitey takes all their money, enslaves them, prevents them from learning how to read, rapes their women, keeps them from buying books and refuses to give them free wifi.
PC enough?
