Urban black Americans used to score higher than rural white Americans in tests administered for the first world war. And their “moral” score (percentage of out-of-wedlock births, crime figures, etc.) were also higher than some newly immigrant American ethnics.

All that changed after the second world war.

That’s culture.

A few years ago every black MBA student at Harvard was an African immigrant; despite having a much, much smaller pool to draw from, they outscored all “African-Americans”.

That’s culture.

In some parts of West Africa, when there is a wedding, the next day the families of the bride and groom hold a second “marriage” where the two huge extended families join to become “one” new big family.

Compare that to baby-daddies in the US.

That’s culture.

African churches generally oppose gay marriage, abortion, etc.

That’s culture.

So called "black culture" in America is largely a democrat construct intended to drive division. Men like George Washington Carver didn't seek a separate culture. He and his contemporaries sought only to be included in American culture.

Ok...so what does all that have to do with what I posted?

[wardaddy]

I’d like to see proof of some of those claims.

Because I don’t believe them...

Not for one second

[wardaddy]

Frankly....that post of yours is one big bullcrap fantasy

Just one big self serving lie.

Where do you dream up such myths about rural white America as a wasteland of illegitimacy and stupidity in the old days?

I bet you think Deliverance was a documentary.

Right. Pre WW2, the intelligent, skilled segment of the black population left the rural areas and went to seek jobs in the cities. There was no welfare in the early days, so if you didn't have what it took to make a go of it, you stayed where you were.

What changed after WW2?

Right. What segment of Africa would migrate here (before we started mass immigration of "refugees" from places like Somalia?) The worst, or the best? The Harvard MBAs didn't come from a small pool, they were from a big pool (Africa) from which the best were enabled by their extended families to come here to get educated.
