Black In Sports But Not In Business by voiceofpaul(op): 10:08am On Aug 15, 2024
This lady captured many people's attention, including mine😃during the #Olympics.
However, when we flipped the story there seemed to be something unpleasant.

In as much as people of African origin are excelling in sports globally, it would bring a great joy to see African people fully represented in all walks of life; in space technology, deep water sciences, innovation and community leadership, and not just in sports.
To every community leader, please teach our young people that they can achieve anything they set their minds to.

Blacks/Africans have physical strength but less brain/IQ, that's our problem.

Though the op is confuse. His title is different from the content

But even in business sector, we're still the least.

Dangote is the richest black man but still not among top 30 richest men in the world.

We have less successful business men compared to other race

In 2013, Dangote net worth was $20 billion. He's the first black man to hit the figure. But today, Dangote net worth is about $13 billion.

A lot of black countries are not well runned compared to white, Arab, Americans and Asian countries.

When government start getting things right, then I believe we will start having lots of successful business men too

We are the ones not serious about ourselves. Mental slavery is the worst thing to happen to any African. That's why I lost interest in Europe and all their football. Look how much is spent on rights for T.V. Who is doing commentary, who is designing kits, who is taking them to airport, what flights do they book, we are not serious about ourselves

Not true.

What we have are bad systems.

The bad system is part of the evidence of our low IQ

That's not an excuse bro. Are we not the people ruling ourselves?

If we are reasonable, we would have improved our system. Check asian countries that got indepedence same time with some african nations and compare them.

South Africa is doing well because of presence of the whites there.
Re: Black In Sports But Not In Business by Nobody:
On the surface it looks like IQ — but there’s more to it. Nigerians rank among the highest-paid immigrant groups in the US, so low intelligence can’t explain everything. Our systems suppress real talent and let incompetence and theft prosper; many of those systems were inherited from the West and deserve scrutiny. Look at Rwanda’s different approach — it’s a reminder that non-Western models can work. We’re as capable as anyone; we’ve been miseducated and held back, but the chains are loosening.

The analysis is well-framed

I disagree with you and in fact I can tell you that Africans are the most intelligent of all the human races. You are made to believe this because it is a result of the intentional design of western powers to limit black people on economic prosperity. Do you know what Black Americans faced before they were allowed to be attending primary schools and universities? All of this happened less than 100 years ago.

Have you seen this picture before? Do you know what happened here?
