“IMO - the problems with blacks has nothing to do with race . . .”

Sorry Jonno, but you are factually mistaken.
Easily sourced, documented and understood for all who care to look into the history of it.
But you aren’t really interested in facts, are you?

Go right on thinking what you believe.
That’s America, right? We can all have our own opinions;
even if those opinions are totally wrong.

But you can’t have your own facts.

“But you aren’t really interested in facts, are you?”

Anyone who would include this in a rebuttal to a person they don’t know, is not worthy of any further effort on my part.

Western Technology and culture blossomed under conditions in Europe from about the Battle of Hastings until not too long ago. It has to do with climate, resources, necessities for survival, and the skill set of the people who lived there. The US and some other countries are an extension of that with a European population.

The climate, resources, and the skill set of Africans produced African civilizations. Mideastern countries had governments and civilizations that were appropriate for them, until globalists decided that they know best.

It's civilization-ending elitism/arrogance to assume that other parts of the world want or can thrive in Western Civilization.

I don't know if what I've written here is considered racist or not, but so what?
