A better title would have been, Are Black People Intellectually Inferior? But that title was already taken by a YouTube video on the same topic. In fact, it was from that video that I garnered the information for this article.
I've posted a link to the video at the end for you to review.
Let's begin by asking, Why the Stark Development Divide Across Regions?
I asked chatGPT to "create an image of a global map color coded by development index." It rendered the image below.
Taking into consideration the fact that the AI seems to be infested by woke-left hobgoblins, I was surprised to discover the map accurately reflects what most of us already assume. The pattern jumps out immediately: one group clusters near the bottom of every major development index, the other near the top.
Specifically, as you can see, sub-Saharan Africa — the abode of very dark-skinned people with kinky hair — is doing poorly. Literally. It is the poorest region of the world.
This is the region of the planet that economists once referred to as "emerging markets" and "developing countries." Both terms are misnomers. For the most part, the markets are stagnated and the countries remain underdeveloped.
How bad is it? Let's take a look.
The Scale of Economic Disparity
Sub-Saharan Africa’s 1.2+ billion people generate roughly the same total economic output as the Netherlands, Belgium, and Austria combined—nations whose combined population is smaller than Tanzania alone.
For perspective, sub-Saharan Africa has about three times the population of the USA.
A single mid-sized American technology corporation frequently reports annual revenue larger than the entire GDP of Nigeria (Africa’s most populous nation and biggest nominal economy).
Elon Musk, born in Pretoria, South Africa, now commands a personal net worth of about $717 billion. That exceeds the GDP of his country of birth ($426.38 billion) plus several neighbors.
Regional Breakdowns
West Africa
West Africa is home to about 450–500 million people. It produces less total economic value than Sweden alone with about 10.59 million people.
Democratic Republic of Congo
The DRC has a land area that's greater than Western Europe and Scandinavia combined. It sits atop extraordinary mineral wealth, yet its per-capita income ranks among the lowest on Earth—lower than several small Caribbean islands.
To understand, ask the next black person you see to explain per capita.
East Africa
Aggregate output remains modest; the two standout performers with clearly higher living standards and human-development rankings (Mauritius and Seychelles) happen to have majority or plurality populations tracing ancestry to South Asia rather than the African mainland.
Southern Africa
Frequently cited “exceptions” (Botswana, Namibia) still show visible poverty belts immediately outside their capital cities that resemble conditions seen across much of the continent.
The South African Case Study
Under minority white administration, South Africa built a first-world-tier infrastructure backbone: highways, ports, power grid, universities, financial institutions, heavy industry. Thirty years after the transition to majority rule, many of those systems are visibly deteriorating—power cuts measured in days rather than hours, freight-rail volumes collapsing, municipal services failing in major metros, violent-crime statistics among the world’s worst.

Official police statements in one province have placed the overwhelming share of violent crime perpetrators within one demographic group. Meanwhile, the small remaining pockets of first-world urban maintenance and safety are disproportionately found in neighborhoods and commercial zones built or historically managed by that same small European-descended minority (less than 0.4% of Africa’s total population yet consistently the highest average household wealth wherever they are concentrated).
Wealthiest Groups on the Continent
The wealthiest identifiable ethno-cultural groups in Africa, ranked by average household income or wealth, are Europeans in Southern Africa, Indo-Mauritians, Seychellois Creoles of Asian descent, and North African Arabs. Sub-Saharan African (“Black”) populations do not appear in the top tier anywhere, in spite of being in control of governments.
Rhodesia was renamed Zimbabwe on June 1, 1979. Robert Mugabe became executive president (dictator) of Zimbabwe in 1987. He also became immensely wealthy while surviving countrymen suffered. Zimbabwe’s sharpest economic descent began precisely when large-scale commercial farming and technical management shifted almost entirely out of experienced European hands in the early 2000s.
The video below documents Rhodesia in 1971 when "white privilege" enhanced the lives of all.
Global Comparisons
Haiti, independent since 1804, remains the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere. Singapore, independent only since 1965, sits among the richest.

Compare the two poorest majority-black counties in the United States with neighboring majority-non-black counties of similar size and geography. The development and income gaps are persistent and large.
Natural Resources and Who Controls Them
Almost without exception, the major discoveries, extraction technology, processing know-how, global marketing chains, and initial capital were introduced by outsiders—primarily Europeans and later East Asians. Local political elites capture royalties and rents, yet downstream industrialization, refining capacity, and value-added manufacturing remain minimal.
The redistribution of wealth, a cornerstone of Marxist dogma, seems reserved for Western nations. The woke left should be ashamed.
Innovation and STEM Output
STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) research output, patent filings, peer-reviewed publications, and domestically designed high-technology products coming out of sub-Saharan Africa are statistically negligible on a global scale. South Korea alone graduates and employs more world-class engineers, scientists, and IT specialists than the entire sub-Saharan region combined.
Walk through any African capital today and try to locate a single mass-produced consumer good—phone, television, vehicle, pharmaceutical, solar panel, tractor, computer chip—whose fundamental research, design, and primary manufacturing occurred on the continent. The list is vanishingly short.
Then, do that same in any black-dominated neighborhood in America. Virtually everything from vehicles to housing were designed and made by non-blacks.
Historical Grievances vs. Modern Outcomes
Historical grievances are real. Colonial extraction, arbitrary borders, slave trades, Cold War proxy conflicts—all happened. Yet other societies that endured comparable or worse devastation (post-Mao China, post-colonial South Korea, post-WWII Japan, Vietnam after decades of war) rebuilt functioning modern states and innovation ecosystems within 40–70 years.
And let's not forget, Western nations faced their own histories of plundering, such as the raids by Genghis Khan and the Viking massacre at Lindisfarne.
The Real Question Today
The question is no longer “who did what to us 60–150 years ago?” The question is why, after multiple generations of self-rule, the institutional, educational, governance, and innovation patterns still diverge so sharply from every other major global population group that achieved broad-based modernization.
To answer that question forthrightly will get you kicked off YouTube. But to drop a very subtle hint, the answer begins with the letter "I" and ends with the letter "Q". 'Nuff said.
Looking Forward
Until sub-Saharan societies consistently produce and export high-value, knowledge-intensive goods and services at scale—until their own universities routinely rank among the global top 100 in engineering and natural sciences, until their own companies file meaningful numbers of international patents, until their own pharmaceutical firms develop and manufacture novel drugs—the statistical rankings will keep telling the same uncomfortable story.
That story may be about culture, about institutions, about average cognitive endowments, about historical path dependence, or about some combination. But pretending the pattern itself does not exist is no longer tenable.
My solution
After 50,000> years, black Africans fall behind other races and ethnic groups. Far behind.
The solution is ethical eugenics.
If highly intelligent blacks were encouraged to mate, the I and Q problem would, in time, resolve itself. The same is true for any people group.
