errr.. maybe because Africans in AFRICA are from a completely different country and culture and unlike black people in America, were not brought to this country in chains for centuries, robbed of their freedom, basic rights, religions and morality and discriminated against in every way possible? Yea it's probably provable that a larger number of African Americans are below poverty line than not... and the crime rate is higher among minorities, especially black people... but how is that any indicator of anything except that this is the result of centuries of the offenses I listed above, and not the fault of an entire minority?! AAAAHHH!!!!!

This guy's real smart. . I hate getting stuck in a class with people like him

By the way you made good points and I agree with everything.
