I'm just trying to have an open mind and find out if there is something that I'm not seeing. If you really remove the bullshit and start dealing with reality, it's not very flattering for them. As poor and uneducated as some African Americans are, it seems like they would really be in a world of shit without the influence of whites and western culture.
You don`t even have to propose this question. Here is a better exercise. You can find many countries in the world with African populations and study their history up until today. The hard part lies in finding one that is actually a decent place to live or that has been at the forefront of technology/civilization. Its not like they have lacked man power, resources (tons of oil, metal, diamonds, etc.), land area.
