It just seems to be part of their DNA.

You know that is simply not true. The problem is; the median IQ of blacks is around 80. Borderline retarded. This too, is not genetic but cultural. The culture of inner city blacks is one that does not favor education, and entrepreneurial spirit, but one of indolence and sloth. IQ is not static but can be expanded with proper training of young minds. A training that is not happening in the majority of urban black households.

What you have is a multi-generational culture that is creating the "prison pipeline". At an 80 IQ they are barely functional, and as you can see from the graph 80% of blacks are below the median 100 IQ for whites. In order to grow the IQ one has to have a need to develop skills to survive. Now there is no need to survive, they are paid to subsist. They want to be wealthy, but don't have the skills to develop wealth, nor do they have the intellect to manage wealth properly to last for a lifetime.

Of all the explanations, this by far is the most accurate. In my work I come across many blacks, a lot from the poorer segments. It is clear to see that many of them do not seem to have the same level of intelligence as the average person. Some do — definitely .... I have several friends educated at the same level who work along side me .... So probably as many at that level as is described here statistically. But the remainder — can’t complete their educations, do not have the higher order thinking skills to work in jobs that pay a better wage, or to manage their lives in a manner to which they can blend in alongside civilized neighbors.

Don’t know the answer, although probably at least starting by re instituting intact families would be a start.

You probably hit the nail dead on. The problem is not that the black population doesn’t have potential, the problem is that liberals-socialist-progressives or by whatever name they like to be called, like to keep a certain portion of the population including blacks poor and uneducated even so they claim just the opposite. But their actions speak louder than words, all one has to do just follow what is being done right from the top leadership on down.

A good portion of it is designed to maintain a stranglehold on the growth of this country and in turn by keeping a large portion of the public dumb and ignorant, and if need be importing some more of the same, assuring themselves of an always readymade pool of voters to keep them in perpetual power. So far it has worked for the left just fine, so why change.

IQ is not static but can be expanded with proper training of young minds.

Oddly enough you will find many conservatives don't believe that and many liberals do.

However the liberals don't want that proper training to occur and fight tooth and nail to prevent it and conservatives do on the off chance there may be someone who can be helped.

That is why liberals are for schools that are little more then warehouses and conservatives are for vouchers so the ones who want to get a good education can get it.

It is not only culture but nutrition plays a big role in how a child develops.

"the median 100 IQ for whites"

Uh, it looks like more than half of whites are Above Average.....
