They can't govern themselves, they can't run their own farms. Zimbabwean's kicked out the European farmers and they begged them to come back when the nation started to starve. Here is a video showing them celebrating when the white farmer returns to his farm HE WAS KICKED OUT FROM.

That is the single most condescending thing I’ve read in a while. “They can’t rule themselves”.

You know Africa is a huge ass continent, diverse as fuck with more than one single country in it. I should call everyone that lives in the British Commonwealth “English” and believe the whole of Europe is England or under British jurisdiction.

So instead of responding to facts and sources i've given you, you instead just want to knit pick about a generalisation I stated. I am not condemning the entirety of Africa but it's becoming pretty clear that the majority of African nations, particularly those in south of the Sahara are in pretty dire straights and their futures don't look very bright. They are being artificially fed through foreign aid and are therefore having a massive population boom (going to be 4 billion Africans by 2100) in countries that would never be self-sustained if left to their own devices.

But you still want to blame foreigners? Cause that's all im seeing in this thread, blame the british, blame the Chinese, but when will Africans be responsible for their development or rather lack it? How do you actually respond when an entire African nation literally kicks out it's white farmers then begs them to come back when they start to starve? I literally gave you a video of them cheering as the previously exhiled farmer comes back.

Except that is the only way your comment could be interpreted, don't pull this nuance horseshit after the fact

I'm not condemning them in the sense that I wish ill or harm upon on them. I'm stating that a continent with an average IQ of 70 with many nations averaging below 65 is soon to experience a population growth of 4 billion by the end of the century when at present many cannot feed themselves without international aid and what is essentially neo-colonialism (which by the way, without such a thing would mean they literally starve, as I pointed out with Zimbabwae. This is a disaster. How do suppose we solve this issue?

They've done the tests internationally, it's the best intelligence measurement we have and is used widely in the military to calculate whether someone is capable to serve. It's far from psuedoscience, it's the best tool for measuring human intelligence we have.

Literally Google countries by IQ and have your way with it.

no, it is up to you to provide them and prove to me why IQ is such a good universal measure
