Nearly six in ten black Americans (59 percent) believe that there would already be a cure for the deadly Ebola virus had it originated in Europe or America.

A YouGov/Economist poll also found that 62 percent of Americans think "more would have been done" to combat Ebola had it not originated in West Africa.

Majority of blacks will believe any racist proposition, because the majority of blacks are racist.

It sounds like Africa has some work to do, and since the blacks polled were Americans, I hope they were bragging, and not complaining.

I guess African scientists need to step up and find a cure then.

Yeah, well they believe a lot of dumb sh!t.

Such as they believe everyone else is racist because they themselves are racists.

One problem...Americans normally don’t have sex with monkeys or bats, so the chances of Ebola or AIDS originating in the USA a would be very rare.

A lot of Europeans died during the black death, back when the civilization was as backward as Africa is. When was that, maybe 700 years ago?

And ten percent of Europeans carry a double gene for CCR5 delta 32, which renders them far less susceptible to AIDs.

People can talk all they want about racism, but there are some genes that enable black athletes to succeed above white ones and some genes that enable white people to survive disease and maybe even invent cures for disease. But somehow most folks do not get it all in one package.

Captain Obvious strikes again.

It’s not reasonable to expect that we spend all our resources chasing down a cure for a rare African disease instead of what ails Americans. Get real.

***** “They feel blacks are too ignorant to find the cure.”****

They feel blacks are too ingnorant to find the cure?

(there fixed it)

PS back during Katrina I was banned (Time Out) for far far less ... maybe just because I was the Melanin Challenged individual in my family . When it happened to me my kids laughed at me cause I got to turn the phrase back on them ... "It's because I'm White!" I have 3 kids ... all over educated and very successful, I worry about them because of there genetic background they look like they could be from the Middle East... these days that is not a good thing.

Majority of blacks think Hussein is black merely because he has dark skin, and claims to be from africa.

IOW, the majority of blacks think white scientists are more intelligent than black scientists. As if black African scientits haven’t had plenty of opportunity to stop Ebola long before this. Geez, sorry about that Ebola thing but no one has cured the common cold either.
