A lot to unpack here. The paragraph that is scribbled out are symptoms of institutional racism which cause the end result of a higher poverty rate per capita for African Americans. If you need me to explain the processes that perpetuate this reality, I can but it won't be until tonight.

The reason that they are poor is because they have low intelligence. The reason there isn't a greater gap between blacks and whites in the US is because of institutional racism that favor blacks and discriminates against whites; affirmative action, disparate impact doctrine etc.
Edit: Oh, and also because blacks in America are 20% white, which benefits them greatly.

    Don't borther replying if you're going to insult me rather than debate in good faith.

    I thought that was sarcasm at first due to the phrase "a lot to unpack here".

    there are 2 things that are causing higher poverty for blacks in America: Absentee black fathers and black-on-black crime. Neither of these is the fault of white America.
    Actual, real African Americans (those Americans who were born in Africa and migrated here, like Nigerians, Somalians, etc) are doing vastly better than black Americans (black people born in America). The first black President is African American.

    They are not representative of the African populations.

    Africans aren’t representative of the African population?

    [–]Dragonerne 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

    No? There is a filtering process wrt immigration and even those that decide to go through the filtering process isn't a representative random sample of the African populations. It's expensive to go to the US from Africa so it's predominantly well-off Africans that get access to the US.

    These Africans have a higher IQ and better genetics than their counterparts back home.

    yes but they are REAL African Americans, which was my only point. Someone who was born in a Detroit ghetto is a fucking American, not the bullshit term "African American".

    Feel free. Let's open up the debate.
