Is Diversity Over Emphasized By Some?

You claim nonsense over data collected by respected organizations published in books by academic experts. Why even give you facts? You already know everything.

Sociologists (socialists) have claimed it has been disproven, but anyone can make up stuff.



Give me a break. Common Sense dictates that there are differences. Some people in Africa are cannibalistic for crying out loud.



...and how long has it been since this occurred?



So African nations cannot make it on their own? They need a handout? What does that say about the many African nations, when none of them are successful? The answer is easier than you think.



Most African nations do not have diamonds. Most are found in South Africa and extreme southwestern Africa. South Africa was more successful under apartheid, and now it is falling apart. Why? I mean, DeBeers is still based there.



Nonsense. The African rainforests have experienced much less deforestation than the South American and Indonesian rainforests. The Democratic Republic of the Congo has lost less than five percent of its rainforests.

The soil is not good for cultivating food, period. This doesn't stop Iceland from being a first world nation. Why?



Hmm, if I remember correct, if those people aren't here (now in the U.S. and elsewhere in the new world), wouldn't the lines of people still be there. After all, most weren't brought to the new world? Are you telling me that after one hundred years of African slavery that they are all stupid, that they are no longer capable of anything innovative?

Slavery still exists in parts of Africa, too, and the Africans themselves were responsible for the slave trade, too.

Race does not determine intelligence. Intelligence is relative. The Sub-Saharan Africans before colonialism had problems, but not nearly as many as now, and please do not tell me that technology makes things better. What good is technology if most of the citizens can't afford it. People in Sub-Saharan Africa had to adapt to survive in their environment the same way people in Europe had to survive in their environment. Sub-Saharan Africans living in the forests learned to adapt to living in the forests without totally destroying it. So what if there wasn't the technology? They had what was needed. And yes I am aware that slavery was practiced in Africa and Africans weren't the only ones doing it. It was practiced among the Arabs too. And Africa wasn't the only continent either. You ever here of serfdom in Russia?
Do you know why European explorers started going to the other continents?
As for the intelligence factor, I see plenty of "intelligent" black Africans. How do I know? I am in college and I see plenty of them. Most of the ones I know are going into the medical or business field. You asked why sub-Saharan Africa has having some problems. Well, here is part of the answer. Alot of the people that are most needed, the well educated, are leaving for greener pastures(many are coming to the USA for school). Some return to their home countries. Other stay in their new homes, but what I sense is a "brain drain". The people who are most needed look for other places to live because their current homes don't have much for them.
