Or would the Swedes suddenly shed 30 IQ points?
Really? Read this: History of Ethiopia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sounds like Ethiopians in the old days had no problem keeping up a civilization.

Some more information:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empire_of_Ghana
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empire_of_Ashanti
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nubia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axum

If you really feel that Africans don't have the ability to maintain any kind of civilization, then what do you suggest should be done? Last time I checked, I don't see you coming up with any productive solutions. If you aren't going to come up with any solutions, then what is your point in saying what you say?

Anybody still using the "47%" the same way Romney used it are proving that they are too irremediably stupid to be allowed near a keyboard without adult supervision.

The 47% quote was one reason I didn't vote for Romney.

Alabama doesn't even represent the entire American South. You have a place like Alabama. And then you have Atlanta, Charlotte, Miami, Orlando, Northern Virginia, and the Research Triangle,NC

Care to explain your new America?
