The average IQ of a native African is 80-85. Someone with a college education is rare and most make corrupt leaders.
very interesting introduction but both links go nowhere unfortunately..?
And there were no great black African civilizations.
There are some simple litmus tests. Can a group of people build and run a modern city? Can they even maintain one if they take it over?
Just compare Singapore to Lago, for example.
WAY-SIST ! WAY-SIST !
No matter how far you run away from your problems, you always bring the source with you: You.
How about South Africa?
You’ll never convince our Americanized sub-Saharan Africans that they weren’t responsible for the Egyptian civilization.
Mixed demo, obviously, but enough engineers etc to build cities.
Modern cities were turned over to native populations in Congo etc etc.
How are they doing with the upkeep?
I’d like to make a comparison to when poor people suddenly come into real wealth, like winning the lottery or whatever, then squander it because they don’t have the skills or experience to maintain and grow that wealth. Seeing as it’s a minefield where one inarticulate word or phrase can blow me up, I’ll leave it as a vaguery and let each individual reader finish the thought in his/her own way. You get the basic point.
“And there were no great black African civilizations.”\\
Wasn’t it ‘LOUIE the LIP furrycan’ who claimed NUBIANS were the real rulers of Egypt and created all those wunnerful buildings and stuff???
This discussion has come up at my house. Finding a country was hopeless. We started trying to find cities. Other than Atlanta we weren’t able to come up with one. Even that may be dubious if it depends on wealth transfers from others.
Median IQ:
Asians: 110
Whites: 100
Amer. Black: 85
S. Amer.: 85
Sub-Saharan Black: 70
Austr. Aboriginal: 65
According to Stefan Molyneux, Democratic Republicanism is impossible if median IQ is 90 or lower. The “sweet spot” for criminality and violence is 85.
The Democrat strategy, abetted by the Catholic bishops, is to import a new population who will vote socialist and pro-abortion. The Republic cannot exist as the median IQ drops.
Since it is VERBOTEN to discuss IQ, all economic and academic inequality must be blamed on the racism of whites. This is why, as white racism has disappeared, accusations of racism have exploded.
The U.S. is a doomed banana republic. We just hide it better under mountains of unpayable debt & financial obligations, the illusion of competing political parties, and the continual erosion of basic freedoms and rights.
Might want to think about that one for a little while.
If a professional builder builds a house, does a buyer who does no maintenance get credit for the fact it hasn’t quite fallen down yet?
To be far, the boundaries of many African nations were drawn by the colonial powers with little regard for friction between tribes, etc.
Imagine a Baltic nation established in, say, 1700 that was 1/3 Prussian, 1/3 Polish, and 1/3 Russian. Such a nation would be constant turmoil, and would have difficulty stabilizing itself.
Yes, I know that’s not the whole problem, but it does play a part.
American Blacks are 80-85. Sub-Saharan Blacks are 70.
Botswana isn’t a great short-term success story like some of the former Eastern Bloc nations, but it has had a stable democracy since 1966 (when it became an independent nation) and is steadily increasing it’s economic capabilities. AIDS has hit the country hard, but the government has taken solid steps to slow down the spread of AIDS and has made significant progress. Botswana has very low corruption, especially for an African nation, and has many reasons to be proud of it’s efforts.
While most nations in Africa are rife with corruption, tribalism, communism, Islamic influences, and a culture that punishes success, there are nations like Botswana which are truly “developing nations”.
