Immigrants from africa have the highest amount of college education . This is immigrants who recently moved from africa .The amount of africans from africa who have immigrated from africa too america is extremely small . The african immigration wave too america is drastically smaller than that of other groups such as asians , hispanics and eastern europeans . African americans that make up almost the whole american population have a low rate of college graduates .
the africans who come too america are the highest cream of the crop of africa . The wave of african immigrants too america is very small . Many of them come to america just for education .
-Although the African immigrant population actually has the highest educational attainment of any group in the United States, they represent a small group
The education of African Americans lags behind those of other U.S. ethnic groups, such as European Americans and Asian Americans, as reflected by test scores, grades, urban high school graduation rates, rates of disciplinary action, and rates of conferral of undergraduate degrees
Asian Americans, whose parents have the highest rate of education, attend college at the highest rates, while African Americans at about half the rate of whites, and Hispanics at just 11 percent. It has been noted that far more African American women attend and complete college than men, a trend that is now also true of the general population to a lesser extent.
Completed 4 years of college age 25-29 (1998) [3]
White Black Hispanic Asian
29% 14% 11% 50%
Iqs: In America
Whites (mean = 101.4, SD = 14.7) were higher than those for Blacks (mean = 86.9, SD = 13.0); distributions for Hispanics (mean = 91), East Asians (mean = 106), and Ashkenazi Jews (mean = 112-115)
The differences in these iq's are fact . But my question is what can we do about it? Is there anything we can do? It seems doubtiful .
the iq's in the countries in the world reflect the same iqs!
Can you not see the asian countries generally at the top of the list with the lowest on the list being african countries.

What i notice about iq is . That in general you can see that countries near the poles have much higher iqs on average than countries closer too the equator . In my opinion in cold brutal climates where weather and climate change are the highest demands . high focus and low impulsivity is needed . In hot climates with a much higher amount of predators .High impulsivity is needed more . I believe that these are roots of natural selection . The other thing could be that climate its self changes iq . Hot Weather could make focus much weaker , Also making distractions higher .
-Middle easterners started the slave trade .The middle eastern arab slave trade did soo well , That europeans got ideas from it! Middle easterners conquered africans and brutally converted them too islam . Middle easterners still brutally enslave africans in sudan today ! Africans gave up their own families for slavery . Many african slaves were prisoners of war and africans traded their own people too white people for slavery .
My point is that it came from all different angles . All the groups had just as much too do with slavery as the others .
Slaves were common back then All countries had slaves in the past . Many european whites have been enslaved by other europeans at one time or another .
All over the world slaves were used many of them prisoners of war . Slavery is morally wrong almost everyone knows that . Back than slavery was ccepted as okay world wide . Till this day over 100 million people are enslaved .
Did you know the first slaves in america were the irish?
The irish did not fare well in the malaria infestion in the south and died out .
Than they tried native american slaves . The native american slaves would run off and hide in the mountains and plan ambushes against the slave masters .
The last result was the black slaves : who were able too survive the southern climates and did not run away .
Now slavery is relative . Look at in ireland where they had too work just as hard as the slaves in america. The potato famine came and england did nothing , The irish still attempted too work and many of them starved too death . The slaves at least got shelter and fed . Look at early industrial revolution england . You had kids who worked 18 hour days who got paid wages that could barely afford food or shelter . Many of them could not afford shelter or food , They were on their own they had too work like slaves then attempt too buy food that was barely enough too get by . and still had too work like slaves . At least a slave is usually giving shelter and fed . I think many homeless people today can have it worse than slaves at least slaves knew they would get food water and shelter .

As far as Africans trading with Europeans for slaves, the Europeans didn't have to take the slaves, who were more indebted due to warfare, debts and so on in Africa. So treatment might be the thing in terms of slavery here that people are really tripping out about and where it occurred.
Also, to compare different groups because they are of color is not a good indicator of anything due to other factors like history and the terms of arrival. Asians and most Blacks came to America under much different reasons and pretences, in comparison. So, it would be like comparing Apples and Oranges, and unfortunately we still haven't honestly dealt with the issues on those terms unless it is in scandalous ways through the media, at work around the water cooler and in other similar ways.
Anyway, "White Flight" is a real thing in a sense that economics and race seem to be still intertwined here in this country. While many Blacks also move out, it seems like the people that are most likely leaving are White and have the resources to move.
Then, you have the issue of redlining and residential restrictions of many suburbs early on after WW2, which indirectly associated suburban with White, for the overwhelming part of the time. Remember that suburban developments didn't hit the scene until around WW2 on a large scale due to the housing shortage after the war for the families of soldiers.

- With rural areas dying economically And people flocking from their too big cities . - Now with the major gas crisis . It is cheaper too live in urban centers . Many people like the social connection in big cities . In the technology age where everyone feels more and more isolated cities are looking better and better too regain social connections .
In europe many of the big cities like paris have rich urban centers and the poor live in sprawling outskirts of the big cities .
It will take a long time for this too happen , But all over america their has been a recent flock too rebuild the down towns of cities all over america . Some cities will be quicker than others . The first most likely will be new york . You can already see in new york that the whole island of manhatten is becoming wealthier and wealthier . Now brooklyn and the bronx has many wealthy areas popping up . The ghettos in new york are slowly pushing further and further out , Pushing right out into the suburbs turning suburbs of the past into new slums . The problem is no matter where ghettos are whether it is a high rise tenements or trailor parks . They still seem too have similar problems .
Sadly i think detriot will be one of the last cities too have this happen too .
