Kleek Do Africans have cultural issues that prevent us from developing at the pace of other nations? Yes. Is this caused by lower IQs of Africans? I will have to see your research on this, and what objective methodology which takes cognizance of cultural differences was used in coming to your conclusions. We are a tribal race, but the boundaries of tribal differences is being broken down on a daily basis. The level of inter-tribal marriage and people living in states inwhich they do not "originate" from is on the increase. We Africans are laid back people, simple people. It doesn't take much to please us, just like the "red indians" were also simple people when unfortunately, the Europeans conquered their lands. Does this translate to the "red Indians" being of lower IQ than the Europeans? The chinese were also a conquered people, first by the British and then by the Japanese. It is a historic fact that China was one of the developed countries in the past with innovations such as paper and fire works just to name a few, yet, they were conquered so easily. This occurred because the Chinese are naturally culturally adverse towards war and do not believe in conquest of other people's lands. The chinese focused on trading with their foreign neighbours rather than on conquest. This lack of interest in conquest led to China having a weak military which then translated in their defeat by the British. Does this translate to the Chinese being of lower IQ than the Europeans? In Africa, we had great kingdoms, we traded with the Europeans and were a prosperous people. We had great artworks that confounded the Europeans but because of our lack of interest in military conquest, we were easily defeated and our history was taken away from us. Today both African and South American countries are planning on changing World trade organisation's laws that allow countries to provide subsidies to their agriculture and food processing industries. These laws when combined with the international financial system have prevented South American and African countries from producing simple things such as milk and chocolate and has further impoverished us. Implementing changes to these laws will take about 11 years if such an agreement is reached so we still have a long way to go. Your discussion on eugenics is very silly and should never be considered. Even if we were naturally dumber people, we could create systems of government different from the traditional democracy that will prevent such dumber people from ever getting into positions of authority. Dumber people make for excellent cheap labor cos a dumb person is still smarter than artificial intelligent machines at carrying out human intelligence tasks which make up the basic activities at manufacturing plants. Cheers. Have a good day. 2 Likes |

kleek: Lool, you're clearly full of yourself, pointing out other people's low IQ, while many of your posts point to how low your own IQ is. You claim to have read Flynn's books, but posted a ravens matrices test to counter someone claiming that IQ test results are influenced by a person's cultural environment, while that was the conclusion of Flynn in his books. You're either lying and didn't read his books, or you have a low IQ, therefore couldn't understand much of what he wrote. Check the many grammatical errors in your posts, a sign of low IQ. 1 Like |

Do you know what causes low IQ? Lack of education. How do you expect Nigeria's IQ to be higher than the West when so many people are uneducated. India also has a low average nationwide IQ because they have a lot of uneducated people as well but the ones who live in the West are running circles around white children. Most of the big technological companies are made up of Indian people. If you told an Indian person that he was dumber than the average person, he wouldn't believe you. Africa's main problem is self-hate. When you actually start to believe that you're dumber than someone, it become true. Studies have found that British Nigerians do 20% better in school than the average British kid. Nigerian Americans are also the most educated immigrant group in the US. For the people on this thread, my message to you is that you shouldn't let anyone tell you are dumb because of the colour of your skin. It simply isn't true. 2 Likes |

OP, I don't agree wt many of ur points, e.g. I don't understand how sterilization wld influence the spread of HIV, sterilizing 18yr olds cos they supposedly av low IQ, etc One of the major problems of Africa (using Nigeria as a case study) is lack of good leaders, and this is borne out of the greed, selfishness, self-centereness, complete disregard of situations as long as it suits one, taking things wt levity, etc, found in the average Nigerian. The leaders all go there with the mind to steal as much as they can, lack prioritizing, the lawmakers are busy fighting blow for blow, etc. The average Nigerian only has survival on his mind, every means to survive whether crook or clean, there is corruption at every level all in a bid to gain more not caring what is destroyed in the process. The educational sector and all other sectors are in shambles cos of this. There is gross illiteracy, even some who went to sch come back as educated illiterates cos most went for the Cert, and lack of enabling environment. How wld one learn when there are no equipment or materials needed available. There is little practical involved, just theories and more theories. We are the ones, self-destructing ourselves, our nation. There is also the problem of hypocrisy, we are very religious yet we still go against out religious teachings. We aren't in problems becos we are religious, but becos we pretend to be, but our hearts are something else. On the issue of population, personally I believe if pre-marital sex is curtailed or controlled and family planning more introduced to pple esp in the rural areas. Teenage pregnancy is increasing daily, a situation whereby a girl has given birth to 3 children b4 she is 20yrs, even outside wedlock all to diff men. NL is enough case study, with pple coming for stupid advice after getting a girl pregnant when they know they av no means to cater for a family. Couples shld also be encouraged to plan their families well. This is where illiteracy comes in again. Poor pple are noticed to bear lots of children even when they can't cater for even one child effectively, and the cycle continues. Even if a child had inherited a good IQ, the environment matters. The Nigerian environment is not encouraging at all. I don't see IQ as the problem, our problems lies deeper. |

kleek:I'm not speaking from my own personal observations with no proof like you but from actual scientific proof. Studies have shown that when people are constantly told that they are not smart, they start to perform worse in intelligence and academic test. http://study.com/academy/lesson/group-prejudice-jane-elliotts-brown-eyes-vs-blue-eyes-experiment.html When I was growing up no one ever told me I was dumb. I was always led to believe that I could do anything I set my mind to and I excelled I'm school. Being accountability for your own grades is important but our environment and the things that people tell us everyday also affects us. |

kleek:No, u're the sily one and a person who lacks manners. I still responded previously wtout insulting u, thinking u're a reasonable person, but ur level of reasoning and idiocy still showed through. When did HIV/AIDs become a congenital disease. Last time I checked, it is an STD although can also be contracted thru other means such as blood transfusion, needle pricks etc. A sterilized HIV carrier can still transmit the disease to other pple. I asked u how sterilizing HIV pts wld reduce the spread of HIV, but rather than defend ur research u resorted to insults. What does that paint u as? A person wt high IQ?

Re: Africa's Political Situation Is Caused By The Low IQ Of The People. by kleek: 7:48am On Dec 01, 2015 |
HaneefahRN:First off, Bleep you. Second off, let me break this down into something a retard can understand: 1. When a parent has AIDS, they usually pass that AIDS to their child because the disease is congenital. Sterilizing the person with AIDS prevents them from spreading the disease in this way. Get it? 2. Blood transfusions and needle pricks are a rare way to spread the disease and can be easily prevented. 3. The only other common way to spread the disease is through sexual intercourse. For this reason a marking ( like a tattoo) will be made on the person so that anyone with common sense can readily identify someone who has been diagnosed with aids and thus not have sexual intercourse with them. Is this rocket science? Are you really so stupid that you can understand these basic concepts? |

I strongly recommend this book: Why The West Rules For Now,by Ian Morris. It a book of great synthesis touching upon numerous factors that contribute to Western lead. IQ and other controversial topics are analyzed thoroughly. But I must confess that from the first to the last page nothing of spectacular importance is said about Africa. Just passing remarks made to accompany footnotes. A whole chapter contains several predictions about the future;there the author admits if the western lead is no more,the next will most likely emanate from China as it continues to unleash its potentials. * This prediction excites considerable laughter when he says that the world should be prepared for its new language: Chinese. |

kleek:No they are not. I don't know if you have ever lived abroad before but in America,African Americans are constantly told that they are dumb. There are actually many African Americans who believe that they are dumber than white people because of their skin colour. That is why African immigrants consistently do better than African Americans academically in the US. Most of the black people you see in ivy league colleges are either children of African immigrants or immigrants themselves. I don't know why you created this thread but it surely wasn't to help black people because this would just have the opposite effect. All you have done here is write about stuff that you have no proof on. You say that Africans have low IQs but I explain that it is because of lack of education and I have given you a similar examples in India. I've also given you examples of Nigerians abroad who when they do have a chance to be educated, end up doing just as well and even better than white people academically. I don't know what else you want. Maybe you are just happy to believe that you are one of the unique "intelligent" black people. It's NOT true.
