So Much for the Africans Are Dumb Notion

[The Professor]

Africans aren't any dumber than anyone else. Many Africans are smart enough to live in harmony with nature, something Europeans haven't yet mastered. Perhaps they should take a lesson.

HAHAHA. You sound like the dummies who say blacks are smart because they're so good at pro sports. As if that's a type of intelligence!!!!

Blacks can't do business or technology. Third-grade arithmetic is beyond 90% of them. That's why they are failures everywhere.

Statistics prove otherwise, and you, wrong. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_deGrasse_Tyson....for only one.

When it comes to economics, my favorite authority is Thomas Sowell who, as everyone should know, is Black. You will find the following and much, much more at the Thomas Sowell Web Site:

"Thomas Sowell was born in North Carolina and grew up in Harlem. As with many others in his neighborhood, Thomas Sowell left home early and did not finish high school. The next few years were difficult ones, but eventually he joined the Marine Corps and became a photographer in the Korean War. After leaving the service, Thomas Sowell entered Harvard University, worked a part-time job as a photographer and studied the science that would become his passion and profession: economics.

"After graduating magna cum laude from Harvard University (1958), Thomas Sowell went on to receive his master's in economics from Columbia University (1959) and a doctorate in economics from the University of Chicago (1968).

"In the early '60s, Sowell held jobs as an economist with the Department of Labor and AT&T. But his real interest was in teaching and scholarship. In 1965, at Cornell University, Sowell began the first of many professorships. Thomas Sowell's other teaching assignments include Rutgers University, Amherst College, Brandeis University and the University of California at Los Angeles, where he taught in the early '70s and also from 1984 to 1989.

"Thomas Sowell has published a large volume of writing. His dozen books, as well as numerous articles and essays, cover a wide range of topics, from classic economic theory to judicial activism, from civil rights to choosing the right college. Moreover, much of his writing is considered ground-breaking -- work that will outlive the great majority of scholarship done today."

This shows how dumb the OP is. Even if the story is true it's just one person and doesn't prove anything about the approximately 500 million blacks in the world.

It absolutely does...because if it can happen once, it can happen again, and again, and again, and again. And does.

it didn't happen for you .....

You don't know any blacks, do you? What podunk section of hell are you from?

W. Virginia, N.C., or Kentucky...no doubt.

No, that's where I'm from.

Did you know that West Virginia broke from the Confederacy because they would not fight for a government that condoned slavery? Did you know that eastern Kentucky and Tennessee came close to doing the same?

The reason for this is that indentured servants who didn't care for the whip would light out for what was then called the Kaintuck. The first settlers in Appalachia were white runaway slaves. They didn't much hold with slavery there.

Lee and Jackson wanted to end slavery in the South and welcome blacks into the Confederate Army, but were stopped by Davis and his group of powerful plantation owners. It was only in 1864, much too late, that Davis gave in to them.

Could be we redneck Appalachian Americans ain't quite what you think we are.

22-Year-Old Nigerian Student Breaks GPA Record at Johns Hopkins University

Emmanuel Ohuabunwa not only graduated from Johns Hopkins University with a degree in neuroscience, but he did so with a 3.98 GPA.

That’s an academic record!

Ohuabunwa who hails from Abia State, has been able to make the nation proud and with his efforts has won himself a scholarship to Yale University to get a degree in Medicine.

He has also become a member of Phi Beta Kappa Society, a prestigious honor group that features membership of 17 US Presidents, 37 US Supreme Court Justices, and 136 Nobel Prize winner.


Oops.

Africans do very well in Universities worldwide.

Who ever said this? It is pathetic when you have to invent lies to support your racism

I'm not for one second doubting the young man's aptitude, but why did it take coming to the West to realise his potential? Surely there are a great many equally talented black Africans in Africa who he could've excelled under without going to America? Surely he could've gone to one of the universities the Nigerian government has built with some of the aid money the West heaps on the country, even though they sit on top of vast oil reserves?

The best Universities are in the US and Europe.

HAHAHA. Hey stupid. One smart black american does not prove all 40 million are smart. BTW - tyson is an affirmative action baby.

 

[ShootSpeeders]

This just proves that Africans aren't dumb. No different than other humans. Its all about persistence, determination, and the desire to be the best. We need more Africans and African Americans like this young man.

Hey stupid. The accomplishments of one person don't prove anything. You are a moron for not seeing that. You have to look at the whole group to draw inferences about the group. For example black SAT math and verbal scores are a combined 250 points below whites and asians. Now that says something.

I've read a bunch of sowell books and no question he is smart. He accomplished a lot and did it without affirmative action. He hates AA and even wrote a book on the subject.

HAHAHA. What a brazen lie. They do poorly in american colleges. Only 1% of the PHDs in math and science in america go to blacks!!! They can't do anything mathematical. Their tiny brains cannot think abstractly and can only learn verbal ( thus useless) subjects like sociology or history.

You're the liar. Why do blacks do so poorly on the math SAT? Why do blacks earn only 1% of the math and science PHDs in america.? Why is all of black africa still in the stone age.? Because blacks can't do technology.

And how many blacks are in that? 14? HAHAHA


BTW - organizations like that are pure racism. You'd scream if there was an organization that was all white and refused to admit blacks.
