I know that Sub-Saharan Africa is currently experiencing a huge population boom--with its population projected to increase from around 1 billion to around 4 billion by 2100. Thus, do you think that we are going to see much more Black immigration to the U.S. in the future?

Also, what about Europe? Do you think that Europe is going to see much more Black immigration in the future?

Any thoughts on this?

If we do, it's our own fault, and shame on us. Ditto for Europe.

I don't think that we should be ashamed if the smart Blacks are going to be the ones who are going to immigrate here, though.

I see global warming playing a bigger role in migration than anything else. When Africa gets so hot that water dries up nad nothing will grow where will those people go? This is happening now and will no doubt be really bad 20 years from now never mind 2100.



As Al Gore said "the world has a fever". People are a virus and like a human body the world is going to get hot to kill off some of that virus.



Imagine 1 billion people being displaced and having to find new homes. It is not going to be pretty.

Yeah but intelligence isn't the only thing that matters and differs among groups when it comes to psychological and personality tendencies. There's also the tendencies of reversion to the mean. And immigration of more Africans into Europe and America is already happening

If the average IQ of African immigrants to the U.S. is going to be 100 and IQ has a narrow-sense heritability of 0.5, then their descendants should have an average IQ of 92.5--which is still an improvement over the current African-American average IQ (around 85).

Yeah but that's a huge decrease from the US average of 98. I doubt the average IQ of African immigrants is 100 or even over 90 to start with. Most of the African immigrants I see are dumb muslim Somalis that its doubtful their average IQ is even 85, and that's only part of the reason they're less desirable.

Yep, but it doesn't appear to be any worse than the current Hispanic immigrants whom we are accepting.

That's why you should be selective about who you admit into this country. Of course, you also have to keep the risk of brain drain in mind--if Africa's smart people move to the West en masse, it's going to be even harder for Africa to develop, grow their economies, and modernize.

Also, I wonder if African-Americans would support more Black immigration to the U.S. to boost their share of the U.S.'s total population. I know that the U.S. was around 20% Black in 1790 but this declined to less than 10% Black by the early 20th century as a result of massive European immigration--before it increased once again to around 13% by the 2010s.

The Africans have been invading Europe for quite a while now. They're the ones drowning in boats
