if you look, on you tube there are a number of black people that show off their gardens and farms.....a number that showcase their cooking skills....

they as a group are more than capable...sometimes brilliant.....

Exactly.

Because they are invested…..with their blood, sweat and tears….aches, pains, harvests.

Amazing what the human race can do, when invested in something, for their own betterment.

Most things in this world work on a normal curve—so there are exceptional black people—who btw are accused by their peers of “acting white”.

But—in a group neighborhood setting the odds are very strong that there will be severe dysfunction of the kind described in this thread.

Imho there are both genetic and environmental (cultural) factors—but it is a banned discussion topic in universities so it is very difficult to tease out the details with solid data and analysis.

Describing the real world is not “hate”—in fact truth-telling of bad news is tough love.
