In reply to Mark111.

Mark111: Whites are ahead of us throughout the world but not for the reason you state. It is certainly true that European imperialism took resources from Africa and other parts of the world too, but Africa is far from spent even now. The problem is our politics -- specifically socialism.

In the United States, socialism has created one dysfunctional welfareville after another -- Chicago, Detroit, Baltimore, Newark, Philly, Cleveland, etc.

But to make this point broader than race, note that socialism was/is a problem for Eastern Europe (during the Cold War) and now portions of South America.
