I'm not sure if you know any Africans that have emmigrated to America, but from what I can tell these are some the highest IQ individuals that I know. The highest paid people in America are Nigerian Americans!! You probably don't know where Nigeria is, but it's in Africa, the biggest country in Africa.
The problems that face Africa are the fact that people are not closely related in many countries you have 1000s of different ethnic groups who don't speak the same language or believe in the same thing. What made this worse was European colonization "dividing" up Africa and forcing totally different people to "coexist". The people in Africa have more genetic diversity than all the people on the 5 other continent's combined. What has allowed Western society to flourish has been an homegenous population i.e. Scandinavia these people are all closely related same thing in China they are closely related so they think alike look alike, and act alike. Someone with low IQ however wouldn't be able to understand this though.
So, what you are saying is diversity is ultimately bad for society?
Africans are 4.7x smarter than Europeans as we know that they took Europeans as slaves, sailed across the ocean to America, invented TV, radio, internet, flew to the Moon, and used novocaine to pull teeth.
Oh, wait....
Did all that and still have a lower IQ than Asians... yikes!

Diversity makes it hard for a society to coexist you don't have to look further than our own country. Educating ones self allows us to coexist. The problems that face are country date back hundreds of years.
Funny how the left is anti-science when it doesn't fit their instinctual beliefs.
Above is another example of someone who appears to be simply assuming that Watson is right.
We should start a tally to see which people on which parts of the political spectrum fall into one of these three categories:
(1) Simply assuming that the best scientific evidence supports Watson's view.
(2) Simply assuming that Watson is wrong.
(3) Making some effort to look at credible sources to determine what the best evidence suggests, then posting links to support their position.

Africans...a people that lived in a world that was abundant with natural resources, flora and fauna, had no reason go anywhere. There isn’t a single European account of a white man landing in Africa and finding distressed, starving people. There was no such thing. If you have proof otherwise, then post it.
Actually advanced technology may make iq differences moot. A simple chip implant may turn a moron into a genius. People who couldn’t read maps can now drive across country.
The numerous number of opportunities in the world basically makes the IQ debate thing ridiculous. A person does not need some high IQ for many roles in the world, and there are roles that they may excel at, while a high IQ person would fumble at.

It may be bad for a society, but we live in a diverse society regardless and that’s an irreversible fact.
You don’t have to like diversity. In fact, I enjoy the fact that you pretty much hate it. But you’re gonna live with it anyway. I enjoy that fact as well. Lol

Not being nitpicky here...so, absence of this education to allow to coexist, a diverse population will not coexist peacefully? Meaning that there will be friction among the different groups? And by meaning diversity, you spoke to "genetic" diversity, but what about non-genetic diverse traits? And genetic does not mean phenotype differences, but does the phenotype come into play though the groups may be more genetically similar than groups with little phenotype differences, but more genetic differences?
