I apologize to everyone.

[a completely inoffensive name]

Why I substituted black with green? To show the cultural factor, You for one immediately assume I talk about blacks when I mention a human subgroup prone to anger and stupidity.

Why are we pretending like these physical and cultural differences doesn't exist? Am I in todays world supposed to BOTH consider myself intellectual AND think all human races are equal in every regard, all actual facts aside?

No one is pretending these cultural differences don't exist. That's the point of the book is to try and show why these cultural differences exist. What's incredibly perplexing is how eager people are to start calling the blacks and the browns naturally dumb when books like The New Jim Crow make it a point to show just how much the physical differences we may perceive are in fact a result of cultural oppression and chains that whites continue to support.

It's racist white Europeans that try to pass the buck on why Africa is so fucked up. When you abandon a continent with arbitrary drawn lines that run right through multiple tribal lands and say "here's democracy! Now it's all on you if you fuck up!", you should not be surprised if 50 years later, there is still violence and power struggles.

It's racist americans that try to pass the buck on why so many African Americans are in jail. When you finally dismantle a system of active segregation and suppression but neglect to actually you know, change the tone of entire of body laws that still exist besides the Civil Rights Act and then say, "Look we let you vote now! Any problems you have is your fault now!"...yeah you should not be surprised when 50 years later there are still systemic issues within the african american community. And no, idealistic liberal laws that tried to force blacks and whites to be buddy-buddy did nothing to change the tone of the general body of laws that we all live by. Blacks were actively repressed socioeconomically up until 50 years ago and the laws have always punished the poor the hardest. So even though you are now no longer kicking a man while he is down, you are still sitting on his head and asking him why he is struggling so hard to stand up.
