I don't see the problem in discussing it. Why have blacks as a whole lagged behind the other races in advancing their own societies? What's wrong with asking the question. Obviously around the world, blacks are lagging in everything except sports and entertainment. This certainly does not imply there are not exceptional individuals, but is it genetic or social. If social, why does it seem to cross borders, oceans, and classes? If blacks themselves want equality, is it not correct to explore the possibilities in order to achieve what they say they want?


ETA-and I understand the slippery slope of implying that an entire race is genetically inferior intellectually. I want to go on record to say that I never stated or implied as such before I am classified a racist white supremacist.

That's what I would expect from you, onmymedical grind. You're always eager to blame discrimination against black people as being the cause of every problem that the black community has. But let someone mention the FACT that black people have never achieved on the same level as white people in the history of mankind, and your only (predictable) response is to play the race card.

How can it all be about white privilege, when blacks have never achieved on the same level with whites? You're trying to make white people a) responsible for all of the black community's ills, and 2) also responsible for guaranteeing that blacks, as a group, will henceforth achieve at the same level as whites, even though that has heretofore never, ever happened. Anywhere. That's more than a little ridiculous, wouldn't you say?

Like I said earlier, we should all fight for equal opportunity. But guaranteeing equal results? That's what this is really all about, and that's preposterous. The only way to ensure equal results is to ignore achievement, and that's simply wrong.

That's probably where we're headed, though.

You should also read Guns, Germs, and Steel.

I'm not saying it is the definitive answer to your question, but it does make a pretty compelling case to answer your question.
