Some time ago, Jim Watson a nobel laureate claimed that evidence showed Africans are less intelligent than the rest of human populations. He said " I am inherently gloomy about the prospect of Africa" because "all our social policies are based on the fact that their intelligence is the same as ours – whereas all the testing says not really". He said there was a natural desire that all human beings should be equal but "people who have to deal with black employees find this not true"

Listening to Kenyan politicians and Kenyans cheering on when they say very stupid things has got me wondering if the old racist had a point. What do you think?

I won't even dignify that question with an answer.

Best,

@Simonkanz I would love to see the thread, so I will look it up and revive them after reading through. @Jason I hate to ask the question but at times we seem to be our worst enemies and I wonder if anyone else (African) asks himself this.

The African MPs you are lambasting (desrvedly, I ust add) are similar to those Republican/Tea Party/'Birthers' in the US.

Making noise over petty bullshit!

Why did that watson jamaa neglect to mention that?
