It Is Time For Us Africans To Talk About Race And IQ by Bowili: 11:42pm On Nov 26, 2017
Every single day I watch Leftist Westerners say that Africa needs more aid and help, while lamenting the legacy of colonialism. I always nod along to this comforting outlook on Africa's problems, while knowing that the truth is much more tragic. If you look at an heat map of IQ averages across the world, you'll interestingly see that the higher the IQ, the higher the GDP. The lower the IQ, the lower the GDP.

[img]https://philebersole.files./2013/08/iq-map-of-the-world.gif[/img]

Africa averages an IQ of 70. Somalia (where I'm from) averages 68. In Western countries, having an IQ of 70 is considered a mental disability. We Africans lack the sense of vision, organization, innovation and nation building. This is the main African problem. Falling into corruption, decay, tribal wars and violence in a continent that is without doubt the most beautiful and resourceful in the world.

I understand why white people don't want to talk about race and IQ, because they then will be labeled as racist (or it might take away their God complex and their Leftist dream that it will be THEY who will save Africa). But there is no reason for us Africans to shy away from these facts. Because the only way it can be fixed, is by acknowledging it first.

We can never expect a continent with an average IQ of 70 to organize meaningful, prosperous and functioning democracies. We need to speak about this.

In ancient times, Africans were the ones who was being seen as role models by their surrounding neighbors. But now we are nobody. It's very painful for me and there are some days when become crazy when reading history. My hope is that one day will get out of this mess.

Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia once said at the League of Nations, "today is us, but tomorrow will be you". I'm from Ethiopia by the way.

I think the OP is actually a slave still. Who gave you those statistics about the average African's IQ? The white folks that plan to hold you down! To suppress you! To limit you by telling you you're inferior, that you can never be more. They are trying to inhibit the growth of your ever bourgeoning mind. When did they test the IQ of the Africans used to collate those statistics? What class of people were subjects in those tests? From what countries and under what conditions? Are you a 70? I am not and neither are the many people i relate with.

Those statistics and the likes, are the reasons many of us still worship the western world. We are as good as they are and better. Work on yourself. I'll work on myself. If everyone does the same, we will be a better people and build a better world.

Finally, a high IQ doesn't equate with a potential to be a good leader or a bad one. A high IQ, doesn't mean you'll make a great father, or you won't be a serial killer or an inventor. Most of the evil historical figures had very high IQ's. Many serial killers were known to have high IQ's.

So, the corruption eating us up in Africa isn't as a result of a high or low IQ. Most of our corrupt leaders around the world have high IQ's. Our ministers of petroleum and finance and the rest, from past administrations to the present that robbed us dry have high IQ's. Some worked in world bank, others in high power world institutions. Dig beyond the IQ to find out why we are where we are today.

Break from the shackles of slavery

The civilizations of Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia and Somalia was very respected in ancient times and even in modern times.

The Greek learned most of their knowledge from Egyptians and Cushite ppl for example.

The ancient Egyptians were black, but anyone can guess otherwise if they don't want to accept the fact. They were sisters of Cushite ppl and themselves said that there ancestors came from the Horn of Africa. And it has been proven by scholars that Afroasiatic language originated in the Horn of Africa (probability in western Ethiopia).

The changing of Egyptians appearance wasn't sudden rather gradual. At first, the Egyptians were very famous about their achievements that they intermingled with their neighbor Hebrew, Arab and other Semite ppl. Then during the invasion of Egypt staring in 1st millennium BC by Assyrian and then by Greek, Persia, Roman and Arabs they further mixed with them.

Even the ancient Berber and Semite ppl were Blacks/Brown in skin color. Black ppl didn't and don't have the same features just like White skinned ppl didn't and don't have same features. For example, Ethiopians and Nigerians don't have the same features for the most part just like English and Chinese don't have the same features for the most part.

The Aksumite empire was actually one of the greatest ancient state that is ignored by many scholars in raising awareness about it to the outside world.
- It coined it's own gold and silver coin currency (only 3 to 4 states did this in ancient times).
- It conquered and colonized Yemen, southern Saudi Arabia, northern Sudan and southern Egypt.
- It had it's own alphabet (we still use it in Ethiopia, but have reformed it to some extent).
- It built many great architectures
- It traded as far as Europe, Arabia, India and China.
- It became the 2nd earliest Christian state in world after Armenia.
- It was the main allies of Byzantine empire (East Roman empire) and the rulers of both state often met with each other.

It was considered in ancient times as one of the 3 powerful states alongside Roman and Persia empire. It welcomed one of Prophet Mohammed daughter and his followers during the early years of Islam even if Aksum was a Christian empire. The 1st mosque in Africa was actually built by those Arabs and it still stand till now.

Discard this bullsheet. No Iq tests were administered to the North Koreans or to even most of the countries in Africa or Asia.
So how were their Iq measured?
