Leading black conservatives lay blame for black America's rampant poverty and other ills squarely at the feet of the socialist orientation of black leaders such as Al Sharpton.

Then why is Africa not like Europe or America or Japan even China or at least like Russia.

“Then why is Africa not like Europe or America or Japan even China or at least like Russia.”

American economists interviewed shantytown residents in Pretoria back in 2003. The pollsters asked what they wanted most. The answer:

1) Private property

2) The rule of law (contracts)

The answers speak for themselves and tell why these Africans can’t create a country based on liberty and free enterprise.

No, you don’t get it. You imply the problem is with blacks themselves, as though the failure of blacks is reflected everywhere they exist. This is not true.

I would not ask your question.

I would ask, why do US born blacks struggle and fail in such great numbers when blacks who immigrate from Africa do so well in the USA. The difference is - black immigrants follow capitalist ideals, going to school, studying hard, and working hard to apply themselves in the workforce. They succeed.

The US born ghetto blacks are told they are victims and to not study, “don’t be white”, and take a generation of handouts. They are trapped and miserable following the socialist demands of the race hucksters like Van Jones and remain useful idiots of the Dem party.

Black immigrants who follow capitalism quickly move into the middle class in a generation or less. I know a man who immigrated 30 years ago from Cameroon, now living in the San Francisco bay area. Most of the white couples I know can’t afford a house before their mid 30s. By his mid-30s, he not only had a home, but he had a 4-plex rental unit as well.

Blacks in the US who work hard generally succeed and become middle class or better. It is the ones who sit home on the dole via socialism, as they are told to do, that fail in the USA.
