And do you think it’s just that they are ‘stupid’ and incapable? Or do you think that there might be other forces at work?

I don't know.

maybe it's cultural, and they just don't care to succeed the way western cultures do, the "too lazy to steal" characterization. I'm not saying that's true, but where did "too lazy to steal" and "gib me dat" come from? Just asking.

Love the sarcasm.

The sound of children laughing and playing is the sound of angels. I miss hearing recess (not lunch! the screeching was unbearable, but I didn’t know it was more my super sensitive hearing until recently. Found out at karaoke...LOL)

His many Billions of dollars have been spent over the decades trying to create opportunities for Blacks?

How many success stories do you have? Damn few.

How many STEM students are Black? Damn few.

Liberals love to believe we are all created equal. Nature, nor God, every does anything g equally. Some horses are faster than others. Some dogs are smarter than others; and some humans are not gifted with intellect.

To say they are, and ignore the facts is simply magical thinking.

Maybe sterilize poor people? Is that what they are proposing. Maybe just those on public assistance, illegals?

The ending of the film “Idiocracy” has a salient point.

I'm not defending white or black intellect.

I know that in many majority-ethnic schools it is very un-cool to be seen as "smart."

this is a heads-up.

If the West does nothing further for the African continent, certain areas of Africa would benefit learning about basic hygiene and Universal Precautions.

Late this past Summer, there was a new outbreak of the Ebola Virus. Kinshsa-Congo area, I believe. There was not much press about it. We Americans were locked into that Supreme Court Battle Royale since late August.The local authorities are concerned because many infected corpses of people dead from Ebola have been stolen by the families of the infected.
The families are angry about burial rituals not being observed or respected.

Until we can convince certain area in Africa about the deadly nature of this and similar diseases, the new outbreak is destined to keep on spreading.

One of the popes in recent decades said, “You cannot forbid the poor to be born.” Such an eloquent statement. But I couldn’t find it on Google. If someone has a deeper search talent, maybe you can find out which pope it was. I tend to think John Paul II. Or possibly John XXIII.

Has nothing to do with skin color.

Just don’t have babies you can’t feed.

It’s spiritual warfare, and it is here too.
We should be adopting all the Christian Africans we can as far as I am concerned.
Christians need to make babies and the USA should be a Christian nation.
It simply results in a continuance of a civilized western culture rooted in a Judea/Christian morality.
Even the pagans who just crave freedom to be left alone of America love what is good in that.
It’s the demon possessed among us that are dangerous.

So implies “The Bell Curve.” It doesn’t come out and say that in so many words but the IQ graphs tell a horrible story. At least a standard deviation from the mean.

The real issue is not the birthrate of Africans but the drastic decline in the Death Rate through the adoption or usage of Western medicine.

Unfortunately, this has a lot to do with IQ. Low IQ is directly associated with a whole host of social problems.

In an increasingly technological world requiring more intelligence those a standard deviation below the mean are in trouble no matter the “solutions” to low-IQ related problems.

The Bell Curve caused an uproar when was published. The authors were respected members of the academic community and hated to reveal the problem of IQ distributions. But they had hundreds of studies on the issue to verify their conclusions.

Maybe you can’t forbid them, but you can (and should) encourage them not to.

Color blind. Cash bonuses for qualifying individuals and free medical procedures. Poor people only.

This article is unadulterated, unalloyed, 100% pure GARBAGE

Thank you. I fully agree that the article is garbage, and I am an actual African (not American Black, African). Pure unadulterated garbage, and written by someone who has NO IDEA what the poor people in Africa, Latin America and Asia go through, and how the large number of children they tend to have perpetuate that poverty. The author simply has no idea what he/she is talking about, and it is truly mind boggling how he/she spouts forth commentary that is misguided and tacitly dangerous.

It’s one thing to say the West and Japan should have more children, but it’s another to say that the world’s poor should continue having more kids than they can support.

If a society vanishes, it certainly can’t be poor because it does not exist to be poor.

But that’s a ridiculous reductionism. We ultimately have a spiritual problem here. The missionary continues to be a far better answer than the family planner, but that’s if the missionary teaches Christ, not just religion.

If anti-nihilism is garbage, then I am proud to be a garbage man.

I’m sure he meant “forbid them” in your heart. He was talking about abortion.

we got a philosophical problem here. the best black families (financially rich or not) will home school and route around the social garbage that way.
