The knee-jerk reaction by many is to just call Marc Faber a racist but who can actually refute what he said? Where is there one Black run country that is a prosperous and model civilization? Some are relatively successful but that's only in comparison to the worse run Black countries. When compared to western European standards there is no Black country that comes close. This is the reason that Blacks are literally dying to get into Europe where they can live in a western European country run by Whites.
Def ain't real smart since Black people from Africa are the MOST successful group in the US; better than either anglo whites or Asians.
They aren't the most succesful group, they are the most succesful immigrants academically, and that is because they represent a very extreme form of brain drain. There are no great universities in Africa, so any Africans with extremely high intellects come to the US or Europe for education, mostly US. They also represent a very small group.
I don't believe that Africans are in any way less intelligent, but I hate the constant mistatment, overtatement, and overinterpretaion of this modest fact which was first pointed out by Clarence Page a decade ago. It is statistically insignificant. And no, NASA is not made up of African immigrants, our best and most innovative CEOs are not African, Africans did not recently discover the Higgs-Boson, Africans are not on the cutting edge of AI, etc. They do better academically as a group than other immigrant groups. That is all, and more power to them.
I don't want to enter into a serious discussion of the tearing down of monuments of historical personalities, but I cannot omit mentioning how the liberal hypocrites condemned the Taliban when they blew up the world's two largest standing Buddhas (one of them 165 feet high), situated at the foot of the Hindu Kush mountains of central Afghanistan, in 2001. But the very same people are now disturbed by statues of honourable people whose only crime was to defend what all societies had done for more than 5,000 years: keep a part of the population enslaved. And thank God white people populated America, and not the blacks. Otherwise, the US would look like Zimbabwe, which it might look like one day anyway, but at least America enjoyed 200 years in the economic and political sun under a white majority. I am not a racist, but
Wrote it in a financial/business newsletter like it was nothing.
Seems to be confusing all black people with Taliban Islamic Fundamentalists and all African countries with Zimbabwe, which used to be Rhodesia, named after Cecil Rhodes who exploited the place in the name of Empire, before another white man called Ian Smith took charge and declared independencein 1970. A lot of Zimbabwe's problems were the result of a long history of exploitation by white men and not black men.
Faber, a commodities annalist, crucified for saying, if blacks settled America rather than whites, the US would look like Zimbabwe. Is that any different than saying, if Chinese settled America, America would look like Beijing?
There are some black majority countries that rank higher on this list than some Western Euro countries.
*shhhhhh* LOL!
But yea...there are surely majority African-descended ("black") countries/places that I would live in long before I move to some Western Euro country. Any day!
