I remember hearing an average Black African is equal to an average 14yr Japanese.Was angry but with time I concluded its the bitter truth.

@All

Am only bookmarking this slot as it is the last one on the page. But boy, this is the kind of stuff I love. It opens up my mind, reminds me that all that I was supposed to think seriously about has been thought and soughted out by some mediaval character and am supposed to improve on it. Charley, thanks for starting it, we need to sit down and have a drink over it. If Rick dees was talking about this, am for it hook and sinker.

Note: I never wake up to reply to stuff here either beyond 6pm or over the weekends cauze I value quality family time but wife tonight decided to try a viceroy and she's gone caput.

So am getting inventive and trying to keep myself busy as I prepare something to eat. But I wont repeat this again. I promise. We are in a strange land and psyching my sleep clock is not working. So, I thought wazua can do the wonders only to reactivate this link which I had bookmarked but forgotten about and its getting me thinking. Charley, we must meet.

amazing thread on Wazua on thoughts that have occupied my mide recently. Its pleasing to know that others have asked these questions before. We all agree that intelligence in to a large extent inherited. To cure African problems we should identify the 'gifted' and give them a chance to make a difference in centres of excellence in all spheres of life. That way we will redeem the burdens of the so called 'dark continent'

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery. The problem is the African has been duped into believing that he must defend his intelligence or lack thereof. Once you fall into this trap, it is downhill. Learn from the Asians, they never try to justify anything, they just keep going. It is obviously untrue that Africans are intellectually inferior, please travel to the backwater places of the US (ushago) you will realize that the Pareto principle is real. Only about 20% of White people have done anything of significance to put their country ahead, the other 80% are just freeloaders and they are usually the ones who will insist that whites are more intelligent. Like someone said, slavery gave them a huge boost ( I never thought about the option of our ancestors enslaving whites, maybe we are just civilized...hmmm)IQ is only judged at a personal level and you have to allow for environmental factors. Also notice that the IQ given is of Africans in rural areas, then that of African Americans is of those at black colleges, why didnt they measure IQ of a black person and white person in a great school? We all know Obama was at the top of his class at Harvard, ama you'll argue that was his white side scoring the points? Remember its his dad who was an Economist, not his mother. Anyways great debate.

flesh and blood did not reveal this unto you!
