Notice race is not part of it. There can be, and are, other and better explanations for everything you claim than just "Lynn and Vanhanen say so." Their work has been discredited. Their methodology is random, and their data is cherry-picked to fit a conclusion they want. The IQ tests used often weren't "corrected for culture." And they claim a genetic cause for "inferior black performance" which is just plain nonsense. The legitimate genetic research community has discovered no such thing. That single factor makes them racist, whether they find Asians leading in IQ or not. Black people are innately physically genetically mentally as capable as whites or Asians.
You are nothing but a racist, spouting nonsense from a racist book. Where you present other ideas, they can be explained by factors other than just race, but all you will go by is your racist views.
Makes for a rather dull exchange.
...black males who represent roughly 6 % on the population (total blacks roughly 13 % of the population, feel free to crosscheck) . And most of the victims of black felons are other blacks. For example, here is 2019 info from FBI website: https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2019/crime-in-the-u.s.-2019/tables/expanded-homicide-data-table-6.xls
As for Jared Diamond, his thesis is carefully examined by Lynn & Vanhanen and they conclude that it simply fails to explain the differences while the IQ model has extremely high correlation to statistical data.
As for the "yoke" of colonialism, just compare former colonies in Africa and Asia and their respective economic development. The very same is evident in the Middle East where the Israelis have created a thriving democratic nation that also thrives in science on a barren land while the Arab nations keep failing.
100% of people can spout statistics which are 100% certain to not all be 100% accurate.
I looked at your claim that 50% of American murders are from a 6% black minority. Given the choice of sources between you and the FBI, I will go with the latter, and their figures completely contradict yours. Whatever source you have, it appears to be as poor as everything else you have obviously digested.
Now, if slaves having better living conditions is a justification for the practice, I am certain you will not mind being made a slave, provided your master can furnish you a better economic situation than your current existence. So, why don't you go out and sell yourself to some obscenely rich billionaire and do their every bidding? You are bound to be better off materially. Practice what you preach. Be an example! Or, could it be that there is more to the whole practice of slavery than mere economic standing?
As far as whites creating prosperous societies, what did European white colonialism create globally, and in Africa more specifically? Seems whites are as capable of creating disasters as successes. Seems they're good at exploitation. Very admirable quality, I'm sure (he says, sarcastically.)
I came of age near the end of the Cold War, and in seeking my fortunes, I learned that if I did well in "Russian studies," the government would furnish me a nice comfortable career. So, I signed up. One of the first things I learned was that the Mongols came in and wrecked Kievan Rus society in the 1200s, and subjugated them for centuries. They had been an extremely advanced culture prior to this. By the time old Ivan the Terrible finally threw the Mongol overloards out in the 1500s, Western European culture was in its Rennaissance. Russia was just emerging from its Dark Ages. All these centuries later, there has been a disparity ever since, and it is one of the underlying factors in the current confrontation.
And the same holds for "Africa." They've only recently emerged from European colonial exploitation. If Russia still has not recovered after all these centuries, why would you expect them to? Europeans greatly contributed to the poor conditions existing on the continent today, yet you claim the mess they left as an example of "African inferiority." That doesn't look like the brightest argument I have come across.
So, what I can prove is that societies run by whites can be exploitative, and detrimental. And FBI statistics easily show more whites are actually arrested for crimes than blacks in this nation, among a number of other things. As far who migrates where, naturally people will want to move from more disadvantaged areas to less. But, the circumstances causing the disadvantaged areas appear to be rooted in white people, not black ones.
You are clearly in the category of, ignorant and proud of it. You can cite all sorts of nonsense sources, and have wrapped your thinking up snuggly in their woefully inept teachings. And part of your condition is that you will always feel superior to "all the rest" who don't see views you feel are self-evident (because all the rest have found better education.) And, as Lars notes, it is the folks like you who have given the world Nazis and World War II more recently, and many previous calamities before that. And you will bring us more in times to come. Ignorance is a relentless and eternal adversary. I am personally not overly troubled by this, but it sure dismays many others.
