    And why would blacks have a separate culture if they were accepted fully by the larger society?

    I like Lauren Southern.

    I like her looks.
    I like her politics.
    I like her message.
    I would like her if she was an American which would make her a MAGA deplorable.

    Thank you for accurately describing “was” and “is” of South Africa; sounds like you’ve lived there or took to pains studying it.

    You’re a learned man and know the answer to your own question; yet you dare not saying it.

    Many (not all) blacks reject mainstream American culture. They have a right to do that, but sometimes there is a cost for doing so.

    A good point.

    Societies that don't respect property rights eventually devolve into chaos. That's why a leftward turn for the U.S. is not a step in the right direction.

    So, culture impacted genes where, when, and how? In Africa before blacks came here? After they came here as slaves? After slavery during Jim Crow?

    My inclination is to doubt your claim in terms of genetic differences creating a violet black subculture.

    The Jews had one problem in Europe, they couldn't feel an allegiance to a king when their relatives were living under an opposing king during a war. So they were distrusted the same way the Palestinians in Israel are distrusted. Because of this embedded historical experience, the Jews are liberals and against authority; favoring internationalism over nationalism. This of course puts them in conflict with the majority.

    There are cultural differences as well because of upbringing, something which causes distrust even among Christians. The distrust among Christians is not because of faith, since the objective of unity with God is the same whether they are Orthodox, Catholic or Protestant. The distrust comes from the personalities formed by the different means used to attain unity with God. That again is cultural.

    Good point she made about the untrue accusations about Trump versus the reality in South Africa.

    Why do they "reject mainstream American culture?" Because it rejects or rejected them? Because they've been influenced by the black culture to reject the larger culture?

    The average IQ of Americans is 100. That of African Nations in general are in the 60's and 70's.

    When we look at intelligence, we shouldn't group everyone together. There are parts of Africa where the people are brilliant, as there are parts of Europe where the people are brilliant as well. The problem with the blacks as I see it, is not that they are without abilities and talents, but that their greatest talent oratory, is being used to manipulate the other blacks for their self serving interests.

    But look, we follow demagogues too - Obama is a perfect example.

    That would be the FBI but then I forgot that if they investigate a republican they no longer count as a crime investigation agency.

    Most crime is committed against people of their own communities. Its actually basic common since if someone isn't blinded by agenda.

    BTW john wayne is my favorite transvestite.

    While I think taking farms away and giving it to people with no agriculture experience is not the smartest thing to do I have absolutely no sympathy for white South Africans. The practiced government enforced racial discrimination up into the 1990s. Even the US which had Jim Crow laws up till the 60s it was only in one section of the country and those laws were just flat out illegal according to the Federal government. South African Apartheid was from the top down.

    If you are white and still living in South Africa I have no sympathy for you because you are a ****ing idiot. Its land and if you put "land" before the safety of yourself and your family then their blood is entirely on your hands. Its no different than someone refusing to move their family out of the Chicago ghetto because they lived there their entire lives and then complains if their kid gets shot in a drive by.

    Because of their Anger, resentment, hatred, living in the mindset of victimhood...by their choice. For some, black culture is their identity and to do the things that create success is "acting white" which brings condemnation. Sad.

    At all times, everywhere through evolution. Culture creates an environment which changes the genetic make up of organisms through natural selection.

    Of course. You let political correctness substitute for thought.

    I think they have good mental concentration and self-discipline. That makes them better at certain things, like performing on tests.

    It is true though that the average Chinese person in a big city probably has an IQ higher than the average White American in a rural area.

    Actually, I hear that there is a slow track for white people to come to the US. Supposedly trying to immigrate from, for instance, Russia, is nearly impossible.

    I don't think so about Haiti. It wasn't good when the French controlled it. There was good reason that Haiti had the only successful slave revolt in recorded history. It has never been good in Haiti, and probably never will be.
