shut up science; you don't know nothing!
There's no difference between races? That sounds impossibly retarded.
Explain what you mean by that.
i'd also like to refute Pox's comment, and the general notion, that Africa has constantly been ass-backwards but that involves lots of in depth revisiting of ignored history.
Well you're the big expert here. Please enlighten us all.
Remember that we're talking about Sub-Saharan Africa. So if you were planning a huge dissertation about Egypt or the Middle East, then whoops, sorry.
What AJ is constantly bitching about is how "negros" suck ass at everything. i.e. people from Sub-Saharan Africa.
Even today, whenever you'll hear any statistics on just about ANYTHING, Sub-Saharan Africa is in it's own separate category and sucks more than everyone else. They're backwards on language, art, science, medicine etc. etc. And usually depend 90% on international aid to pull their ass out of trouble.
I can't even count the number of TED talks I've seen where it's a bunch of brilliant white men and women coming up with solutions to protect them from Malaria and AIDs, to enhance their agriculture, to give them glasses, laptops etc. etc.
All of these things constantly count on donations and funding to provide them with free shit for as low a cost as possible to pull them out of their misery. Africa is EXTREMELY slow to pull itself out of its massive lagging behind every other group of countries, despite all the help they get.
Whereas most countries who brought themselves into the modern age have done it on their own power, most notably China. Of course China didn't fuck around and I don't wish on any country the kinds of laws they had to put into effect to get there.
But basically it always boils down to: get organized and stop having so many fucking kids.
Suddenly child mortality rate drops, life expectancy rises and average income skyrockets. Africa WILL ALWAYS BE A DUMP as long as they keep having 10 kids per family. ALWAYS.
And when they do get to come to the US, they still fuck up and suck. People keep doing it. Keep blaming poverty, they keep blaming education etc. etc. But any test ever devised always puts them behind other races intellectually.
It's just UNFATHOMABLE to some people that they'd have to admit something so EVIL as saying a race can be genetically stupider or that genes could determine intelligence. Sure, genes determine that humans are smarter than animals, but how could genes determine that humans are smarter than other humans? LOL THAT'S CRAZY! Microevolution? Sure! Macroevolution? HAHAHA FOOLISH SICENCE!
Despite 100% of biology and sociology pointing to "yeah no shit", they'll keep fighting it. Going so far as to attack facts as "racist". If I told you that black people were genetically more suited for sprint running, you'd be fine with that, despite that using the same principles as saying they have lesser brain complexity.
Anyway, what does this all mean? Black people underperform? What's the solution to that? Pack them in a boat and send them to Africa? Fuck no, that's retarded. Given the same advantages as other races, they're still a gap, but it's not so ridiculous that it warrants killing them all or some shit. If they had a culture shift and better education, then they would achieve better.
Just proper nutrition for instance has been shown to raise overall IQ by something like 15 points. That's fucking huge. Sub-saharan Africa has an IQ around 70. That's borderline retarded in our school system here.
If they could fix their kid problem and have enough food and medicine? I'd bet that number would rise to maybe 85. Make them value intelligence instead of athletics and rap? I bet that rises again.
Of course this whole issue might become irrelevant in the future as we develop technology and drugs to modify and enhance humans.
Anyway, prove me wrong people, prove me wrong.
