Hey Africa, ten minutes early means you’re five minutes late.

Because they weren't one unified entity? Because local political dynamics is important? No colonial enterprise was ever successful without at least some natives to the area working and getting wealthy with the colonizing party. Occasionally that situation changed where the colonizing party could sideline local elites or one faction in particular, but generally that is the pattern.

Bro. How long have you been alive, and have you been paying attention that whole time, with an open mind?
We have plenty of evidence.

It’s because the people running the deep state are smarter than us, collectively. And we have suicidal empathy, now that women have more say so.

No, not really.
So tell me the metrics where we are seeing improvement?

Ok, with a population of 40 million, I would hope so. But there are plenty of statistics that say, that as a population, they are failing in most metrics by which we measure success. I tie the view because the lack of connecting todays decisions to tomorrows consequence seems appropriate.
Who would downvote this? the first part is verifiably true and the second part is a logical conclusion.

The St. Louis Fed has data showing the unemployment rate for Black Americans was around 11% in 1972. Do you have data showing the rate for the 1960's?

They are plummeting across all demographics.
quote:
Home ownership, declining.
Again, has been declining overall from a high in 2004 for all demographics.

This is what is wrong with USA blacks and explains a lot of their culture.
They only care about now and not the future and therefore don’t really think about the future consequences of their actions. All that matters is now.
Don’t get all these women pregnant! You will make your future harder. I don’t care. I’m having sex now.
Don’t rob that guy! You might go to jail. I don’t care. I need money for drugs now.
Don’t frick off in school! You’ll be poor all your life. I don’t care. I like to do thug things with my friends now.
You see how only thinking about now keeps you down?
And no wonder Africa is a shite hole when they run it. All about now.

Wait until they discover that these failures occur in other countries as well. In the UK African Blacks are the poorest segment in the country, while Carribean blacks are the most successful.
Skin color is the same. Origins different.

Oh my fricking god. Which group is more closely related to Black Americans? Think for a second before you start typing.

There should be limitations on voting based on testable intelligence and other eligibility requirements.
We should stop lowering standards for certain jobs, college admissions, etc.
Government help should be administered in ways that acknowledge people’s limitations, without the goal of promoting “equity” and with the goal of promoting behavior that benefits society.
Violent individuals have to be taken out of the population.
We have a problem of our own creation, but it’s solvable.

What? No! We are pissing everything away.

You definitely wouldn't be able to vote in that case.

Probably the War on Drugs, which also explained the jump in violent crimes and the subsequent decline, despite the country being much larger.

Your argument is that one particular minority group is more sensitive to overall population trends? I mean, yes, that can happen.

Everyone knows where the early population came from, you arent holding some info not commonly known. Jesus.

Go read your post again and then put it into context of this thread. You aren't making the point you think you are. They really aren't sending their best. Sad!
