    Well yes, we know because we live here, but I thought that this thread was about Africa.

    Actually, he wanted to sent them all to Central America, where Honduras is today. Frederick Douglas was working with Lincoln to move all the blacks out of the South and Douglas said no to leaving the US.

    I think the blacks in my country have way overplayed the victim card for too long. Slavery and disenfranchisement is a terrible legacy to drag behind oneself but the fact is they are free now and are allowed the same opportunities as all the other races in America. Unfortunately, many are caught in this cycle of poverty/violence/victimhood that disallows many to reach their full potential.

    Perhaps the election of a half-black President will serve as a wake up call that The Man is not keeping them down, but rather their own choices.

    As with everything, what does it help the black people nowadays still blaming everything on the past action of European imperialists, Arab slave traders and other hostile African tribes who sold them to slavery ? India slowly seems to overcome their past, and let's not forget, India has lost much more with late british rule than Africa ever has. They lost their whole industry due to protectionist UK with an overproduction in key industries which had to be forcefully imported to India. Not the topic here I know but as with everything in life whining and blaming about how unfortunate you are will bring you nowhere. Obama and his wife are the proof that hardworking and smart African Americans can indeed achieve a lot in the US. And I think we should once and for all times abandon that idea that all of the world has to be evenly developped and rich. Hell, it's even impossible for France to be as rich as Switzerland because we work 5-6 hours more per week while being equally productive, and we don't strike at every imaginable occasion. So how are african countries ever expected to catch up with the rest of the world ? China brings their own workers for projects in Africa, because despite the whole resettlement being more expensive, they are just far more productive and work harder. It all comes down to hard work. Remember the vast resettlements to Siberia during and even before communist rule in Russia ? Within 10 years the Germans distinguished themselves from all the other nationalities there in living standard, hygiene and wealth despite all starting at the exact same point of having no personal posessions, working in labour camps in a hostile environment. After 10 years the Germans had solid brick houses, a healthy live stock, moral women who got much attention from other nations too because of their good education and hard work, and so on. While the Georgians lived in shabby, dirty shacks and made much of their living extorting money from others. In short, and this is well documented, every nationality simply reproduced similar living standards they already had in their home country, despite completely different socio-economic and geographical environments and often after living in labour camps for many long years.
    Wherever an industrious people settle they will make gold out of dirt.
    And so indeed the question what would have happened to Japan if Africans settled there has a certain right of existence.
    And thus I'm afraid it is a mistake to believe that with equal laws the different ethnic groups in the US will ever homogenize.

    We are forgetting that Obama is damn near equal parts White American and Arab while being 1/6 African Negro, so it is just possible that he has to much other blood for the Negro blood to drag down, altho the law in the USA does state that down to 1/32 you are still a Negro, so it seems that that blood does weigh on one very heavily.
    But he does capitalize all he can on the African part.

    more chicken riots in seppoland

    Oprah's free KFC coupon sparks riots



    I went over to our nearest KFC a few minutes ago...and chaos ensued. Despite the very visible grilled chicken behind the register, the manager told everyone with coupons to leave and that the promotion was over for the day. The people there are currently holding a sit-in and refusing to leave until they get their free chicken...or the cops are called. Racial epithets were being spewed, people who actually wanted to pay for chicken were facing a potential beatdown, and the manager ran from the screaming horde. Oprah, what have ye wrought?

    That was a grand idea. Let's create ghettos based upon ones colour. What a twat. No wonder the US has huge race problems. Amalgamation is the only way to reduce race issues.
    How can you possibly amalgamate with such black whales ?

Sadly, it will probably never be done.
    And that sounds like a racist's wishful thinking.

    So what " Ample " evidence exist for REAL biological differences in intelligence between the various races?
    And please don't regurgitate some inner city IQ tests..

    IQ tests given to poor ( and mostly black ) youth in urban areas where shown to have cultural / economic predjudices in the questions - like the kids didn't know what a pond was, cause they'd never seen one, etc.

    Isuggest a better study would be; why do people hate ?

    I would suggest Bob R., that you consider yourself superior to other races for one reason , you're were told this by racists, most likely your parents.
    And in turn you will be passing down this practice to your children.

    ^ You're wrong there MustavaMond... there are plenty of serious studies who consistently proved just that: Iq difference of about 10 pts between the races, regardless where they tested it... They've just taken people, mostly students from a similar socio-economic background, and the results are very consistent: Black<White<Asian by a 10 point margin.
    There is little scientific debate about if, but more about why.
    You can't just dismiss these studies by saying they're coming from "haters", because some of the larger studies came to life just for the purpose of disproving this idea, and to get rid of any bias previous studies might have had. Now there is still ample room for interpretation about why that is so, and of course it's all but universal. Thailand for example fared rather bad in such tests of their students, and the Asians tested in the US were mostly Chinese and Vietnamese who are known to be very disciplined students. And let's not forget that there is a very strong correlation between the results of said IQ tests and economic developpment over the very long term, be it a country, a region or individuals living in the same country. Even long before any serious colonization of the African continent (except North Africa, which was en par with Europe) it lagged behind to the rest of the world and the difference just got bigger the more the world developped.. I am most certainly no White supremacy idiot, and I have no problem whatsoever with Asians being smarter than us in general, as that will naturally lead to an economic developpment which benefits everyone and stabilises the world.

    This topic is interesting, but yes, controversial. Should it be so controversial?

    I read The Bell Curve in 1995.

    A very interesting book. Causing a firestorm, and lots of rebuttals.

    But if I remember correctly, there were only 2 chapter on race in the whole book. The book focused on many different things besides race, but it received tons of controversial attention.

    I recomment The Bell Curve.
