Why has the black race not been successful? ?

I just was curious because some other races have advanced countries, while Africa is still MOSTLY 3rd world? And the only part that isn’t 3rd world is South Africa where the whites live. How come?

    For the most part, they have. The first civilization. Currently, in food, music & language. Most African governments are oppressive. The rich are in control,  dictatorships. The ruling class are all of one family. A  Coup d' Etate only means a change of oppressors.

    They lived in third world countries, where there were fewer opportunities and the environment was inferior to everywhere else.  The people weren’t and aren’t inferior. You can’t define a whole race as being unsuccessful.  Look at people as individuals.  Like every other race, some black people are successful, others aren’t and some are doing okay.  Just like everyone else.

    Africa was a shïthole even before colonization. The blacks in Africa didn’t know how to use the raw materials to build industries in Africa. All Europeans did was take some of that raw material for industries in Europe. Africa is still rich in raw materials. That’s why multinational companies are trying to develop the region. But the low human capital and constant civil wars don’t help.

    I don't know what you think success is, since they invented practically everything that makes us all human and colonised most of the world in Palaeolithic times.

    Because blacks have the intelligence of their favorite food the watermelon and basically contribute nothing to society while committing most of the crimes.

    Case in point:

    Put Whites on an island, you get England.

    Put Asians on an island, you get Japan. 

    Put Blacks on an island, you get Haiti.

    Let me jump straight to the point because what I'm about to tell you is actually found in the Bible. Avoid the Ethiopian race whose Organ is as big as a horses! And they have emissions like donkeys!

    Friend sometimes being the biggest and the most smelliest and the most muscular doesn't get you in advance in the human race.

    The human race tends to favor the underdog the one with the smaller stuff the weaker bodies and the Lily colored skin!    Okay before somebody gets mad at me for being racially bigoted I'm just telling you the truth the human race tends to favor the underdog not the human being that has the biggest thingy the strongest smell and the biggest muscles.

    They seem happy to me and have a much lower suicide rate than whites. A stable and strong mind is priceless. And of course you are wrong because there are many success driven black African millionaires and business owners.
