This thread has just about run its course.
Futuregohan30, I see that you completely misunderstood my point about the relative IQs and capacity for success between the black and White races.
First, it was my brother's roomate (not my brother) that went on to become a doctor. Which reminds me of another difference between balcks and Whites: Reading comprehension and language skills. Blacks whose families have been in this country for 400 years have a lesser command of the English language than any European immigrant that has been here for 2 years.
Since you are a proud Carribean, do us all a favor and explain the horrific political-trainwreck that is Haiti. Haiti has been free and independent -- and run solely by blacks -- since those savages butchered all of the White people back in the 1790s. When Haiti "won" its independence, it was known as the "Pearl of the Carribean" because it was the most profitable and well-run colony in the world. It had streets with lamps, functioning townships, and it even had an opera house.
All of those modernities were destroyed within 20 years of the blacks taking over.
Haiti today is also the poorest nation in the Western hemishpere, it has one of the highest crime rates, and it has no industry to speak of (not even a tourist trade, like you find in virtually every other Carribean country).
Haiti is also the blackest country in the Western hemisphere. Coincidence? Heck, no! Blacks can't even maintain an existing civilization, much less create one on their own.
Blacks in their natural state (see, Africa) have never: devised a written language, domesticated an animal, built a building (other than huts and lean-tos), created a mechanical device of any sort, woven cloth (it was all stringed-beads until they encountered North African Arabs), or built a fence. There are still tribes in A-freaka today that follow herds of wild animals around; the thought of fencing in the area to contain the beasts is just too complex for their limited mental faculties.
Explain Haiti (or Africa), and then maybe I will listen to your claims of black competence.

This gap obviously is not as big as you think.I happen to be in the 9th grade,and I go to a school that is 95 percent white.The kids there cannot even spell such simple words like "hatred" and "origin".My grades,however,happen to be in the 99th percentile.Some of the white kids there happen to be the biggest juvenile criminals you will ever see.Either way,I apologize for my misunderstanding about your brother's roomate,although,that was a very minor miscalcualtion on my part,and I do not know why you're using it against me.

Well,as in all revolutions,when there is a group that oppresses and,in this case,enslaves a minority,the revolution is bound to be bloody.This is true of all types of revolutions all around the world.This is why the blacks that were there committed so many brutal acts against the Whites,who in this case,happened to be the oppressors.
Haiti today is the way it is because of a succesion of evil rulers,such as Papa Doc Duvallier,who destroyed they countries economy.They left in the 1980's,and Haiti still has not been able to recover.
The situation in Africa is very similar,except on a larger scale.Blacks there have also had a succesion of revolutions since 1960,and they have also had a tough time recovering.The country that has managed to do well so far is Botswana.It has managed to pull up a good front,mostly because it's history is not nearly as turbulent.

Wow.This post shows a complete and utter lack of any knowledge regarding African history and civilization.Further more,while I have tried to come here and debate in a respectful manner with you,your continuing use of racial slurs and insults is disgusting.Despite this,I will respond to your post.
First off,there were African civilizations:Mali,Ghana,Nok,Nubia,Kongo,Cush, and to some extent Egypt(yes,I am aware that you will probably say that the egyptians were not blacks.I will not debate that here and now,that is besides this topic).There were probably more,but I cannot name them all off the top of my head.
These civilizations,particularly the Kongo,were very well organized,and comparable to any other European civilization at the time.The Europeans that visited the Kongo in the 15th century,described it as a beautiful place,with well organized and magnificient structures.
The cush*tes built many grand monuments,extremely tall stone structures that were a testament to each king who built them.And there were also strong kingdoms in Kenya as well.These empires are proof that africans,had they remained in africa and not been forced to come to a foreign land to which they did not belong,could have done just fine on their own.
The claim that Africans are not capable of creating a civilization is simply ridiculous.
