If you think black Africans living in America don't like the negative aspects of African American culture, you should listen to their opinions on your brand of American conservatism! Many African blacks have a really strong negative opinion on white supremacy and those that prescribe to that ideology... Even more so than many African Americans...

No doubt. If we could just get them to wear hats in identifiable ways we could keep track of that.

In terms of the nature vs. nurture arguments, and they are always ongoing, you can make the case for not caring for a little while as life sciences catch up. If there really is a biological reason for (for instance) lower black IQs (85 in the US, something like 70 in Africa) , it should be settled science in the near future, and then education programs can be designed with that in mind.

If it's all upbringing (diet, society, post-traumatic-slave-syndrome, large wheels on automobiles), then public money could be spent to mitigate the real issues.

It would just be nice if people would be more willing to think in terms of physical reality, and not just what they wish were true.

This is for the sake of bringing up the biological side. If Blacks as a whole are considered biologically incapable of behaving, then why bother even talking about this issue? If that is what it is, then there is no point in talking about it.

For those who constantly complain about Blacks and anyone bringing up the argument Blacks being biologically incapable of behaving, what do you propose to be done about that?

That poster posted this

) Caucasians (and any other sane group of people) don't want to live around groups of blacks.

I doubt ANYBODY would have problem living in View Park–Windsor Hills, California although the place has 99% black population.

Proves exactly that, most people have no problems with law abiding solid middle class or upper middle class blacks.
Agreed tho working class Black people are Ok too. It's the PWT/hood rat classes that I DON'T trust; I'm talking about the lazy fools of ANY skin color who have the "you owe me" tude. Most panhandlers IMHO I don't trust and they're almost always anglo or "Hispanic" white.

And with this said, this is why it is important to know the difference between working class people of any race, and the trash of any race.

That's possible tho I'll lay some serious money that most Black Africans would rather live in a "conservative white" area than a Black ghetto. I ain't talking about PWT hoods where most white WON'T live there either.

It's more "culture" IMHO.

Our EdwardA made a comment about Black ladies being much smarter than the average Black dude; that ain't "biology". Looking at our PWT kind: both the dudes and women are usually pretty stupid so that kicks out "gender" as the dividing line within the SAME ethnic group.

"your brand of American conservatism..." Haha. A meaningless term.

I was wondering how long it would take before you made it personal. You raised the issue and asked the question. My advice, don't ask questions that you don't want to hear the answer to.

I figured as much.

I disagree with EdwardA. Statistically, there are more Black women getting college degrees than Black men. However, it doesn't seem to be encouraged as much for Black men to get college degrees. Expectations are different by gender. Trust me, I've seen some stupidity among Black women from the underclass sector. Plenty of videos out there.
