I do not think this is about Obama. If it is, it is about what he represents (change). You would have to be stupid to believe he is (change). Althought the economy has improved, he does not support the policies he proposes when people disagree with him.
@thevideodrome1 Thanks for writing! From my understanding, IQ tests are based on a series of standardized tests, and collectively work in a Eurocentric (or at least developed countries-centric) perspective – meaning that the tests don't determine intelligence from an equal starting point for all. The result of IQ tests are affected by a number of elements including access to education, malnutrition, and other environmental factors.
@thevideodrome1 (continued) Considering that many African countries lack the economic, educational, and medical access of, say, most of western civilization (the result of eons of violence and disenfranchisement stemming from western imperialism), there are several factors that could play into why African countries produce lower IQ scores. The notion that race on a biological level can determine intelligence is known as eugenics, and was disproved long ago.
@thevideodrome1 Even in America, the average IQ of most minorities is lower than that of "white" students. Again, for the same reasons mentioned. This is not to say that minorities can't do well on standardized tests, but that since the tests have cultural undertones, certain questions or structures are inherently biased against some students and in favor of others.
@thevideodrome1 Try testing the IQ scores of similarly advantaged African kids to other kids you will find the population to produce the same results...
and now, having told you an uncomfortable truth, just like every other one of you who realize your guilt trip doesn't work on me, you say something about how i "know not what i say or do" then move on to a less stable white person that'll fall for your cock-and-bull
i wonder if it's possible for you to even begin to concieve the fact that yes, africans may have had a part in enslavement of people before they were done so themselves but when they did so their imprisonment was purely of a physical nature.
when africans were taken from african lands and brought over to the america's and places like the carribeans not only were they captured by chains and shackles but they were taken and had it branded into their psyche that they were inadequate
&substandard human beings. because of their colour.
now that mentality has now been so impressed upon them that there are very few ways to describe what happened to the races besides a handicap.
now you want to try tell me that the way america works isn't essentially a way to reiterate the point that black people or even just people of ethnicity are lesser beings?
don't get me wrong, what happened to your friend was wrong and a disgusting. but you must understand, some people won't forget..
@iiWntChicken you have entirely missed my point, which is that blacks enslaved whites first, by 900 years, which to me, negates the whole guilt trip. how hard is that to understand?? that doesn't surprise me, however, once a "honkey" finds the truth, he no longer feels compelled to be apologetic, and that can't happen, we must all be eternally "on our knees" to blacks "the only race ever enslaved" bullshit
this led me to stop listening to the bleeding heart liberals, ashamed of being born white, apologizing for something they had no hand in. your whole arguement is based on the assumption that i should feel guilty for "burning churches, crosses" etc, because my white ancestors did it, but you feel no need to accept the fact that your "brothas" made a man who worked for a living get fed through a tube, and have his diapers changed. so peddle your guilt somewhere else.
@albertmarriner o wow... what is your name... i will make sure that i pray for you for people with the intelect like yourself know not what you say or do.. God bless you sir
how about you go cry to someone who gives a shit? the hypocrisy of your race and it's leaders is legion. in the 9th century, the north african moors invaded and conquered portugal, spain, and half of france, slaughtering and enslaving. when was the first african slave brought to an english colomny? that's right.. the 18th century. can you do the math? yet your leaders claim to own the right to gripe about being enslaved. and, no, this didn't lead me to be a "racist", it led me to learn.
do you realize how stupid that sounds? of course you don't you were a "slave". i used to have some compassion for you "people" but those days ended when my good friend got beat into a coma for being a "cracka" so, if you expect me to feel guilty for your shortcomings because of your subservient and animalistic ancestors, you're barkin' up the wrong tree, sharpton..
@albertmarriner im not expecting you to feel guilty.. all im saying is that sometimes we all pay for what people that look like us have done.. what do you not understand about that... obviously nothing so i wont be little myself by insulting you becuz your words already do. the rule doesnt go for just black and white people but all racial groups.. which opens the door for stereotypes and prejudice. yea its may sound stupid to you but like i said thats how the world thinks.. thats all im saying
@albertmarriner case in point... you dont like black people cuz one of your friends got beat into a coma by a few... well since that happend you are now rasict against all black.and that doesnt sound stupid?.. well lets talk about burning churchs, crosses.
@albertmarriner JIm Crow laws ect ect... im not blaming you personally but im sayin sometimes we all pay for what our ancestors have done.. just as you are blaming me for your friend being beat.. do you see the connections now or do i have to spell it even more
@albertmarriner white people are not allowed to have any exclusive groups cuz yall messed it up back in the day... should i say civil rights movement!! i kno it doesnt seem fair but hey i didnt robb that guy in the grocery store but becuz of someone that looks like me did before i get funny looks.. sometimes you gotta pay for things that someone like you did in the past... not fair but thats the way of the world
This is awesome!! I'm not a hip hop fan because most of what I hear falls into 2 categories; partying and the objectification of women. This is consciousness in hip hop. I love it!! Arrested Development lives!!
excellent video. If only BET and other forms of black entertainment would stop manipulating the black community to think ignorantly then black people would be able to come up in this country!

What are the causes of the low IQ scores in Africa?
I don't want to sound racist or politically incorrect, but according to most sources the average IQ of the African countries is very low.
