All Black States Are Failed States

by David Sims

AN AFRICAN named Chigozie Obioma has written an article, “There Are No Successful Black Nations,” for Foreign Policy magazine, calling for an end to the uncritical stance toward Black countries fostered by the current power structure. He says that without a more critical view Africans will never be able to build a self-sufficient state.

I like this paragraph from Obioma’s article:

Nigeria, the most populous black nation on Earth, is on the brink of collapse. The machineries that make a nation exist, let alone succeed, have all eroded. One might argue that the nation’s creation by self-seeking white imperialists engendered its failure from the beginning, as I did in my recent novel. But this is only a part of the cause. A culture of incompetence, endemic corruption, dignified ineptitude, and, chief among all, destructive selfishness and greed has played a major role in its unravelling. The same, sadly, can be said for most other African nations. States like Zimbabwe, Cameroon, and Equatorial Guinea are farcical democracies ruled by men who exclusively cater to their interests and those of their clipped circles.

The silliness is in the third sentence. Nigeria was created, in the first place, by Whites. The Blacks living on that territory before then had not built a country because they did not have the competence to do so. After Blacks took over power in Nigeria, things started to fall apart, as they always do — as they did in Haiti, as they did in Zimbabwe, as they are doing right now in South Africa. As Obioma himself noted in his title, “There are no successful black nations.”

But the blame must be put on the White man somehow. So Obioma constructs a sentence out of nonsense: “One might argue that the nation’s creation by self-seeking white imperialists engendered its failure from the beginning, as I did in my recent novel.” That statement would certainly set off almost anyone’s BS detector, but, if it doesn’t, then the way it is worded obfuscates the truth that the Black man’s incompetence was the cause of Nigeria’s failure after the end of the British colonial period.

I’ve heard Blacks arguing that Nigerians are competent to maintain their country because it has satellites in Earth orbit, which at first seems to be an unquestionable demonstration of technical competence. But Nigeria “has” orbiting satellites only because it purchased them. Nigerians neither made nor launched the satellites themselves. They were made either in China or in the United Kingdom, and they were launched either on Russian Dnepr rockets or on Chinese Long March 3 rockets. This is another Black argument that sounds good at first hearing, but which turns out to be yet another case of hoax and over-inflated claims when you check the details.

Perhaps Mr. Obioma would be the first to volunteer to move to Nigeria and start building the great, new Wakanda there, the fictional all-black African empire that many blacks now think actually existed because of the comic book movie, Black Panther. Part of the secret all black nations throughout all of history have failed is hidden in Mr. Obioma’s third sentence. Yet, he doesn’t even know it’s there. Black nations fail not because of corruption, greed, or cronyism. Those nations (and everything blacks touch) fail in large part because of the black race’s total and utter inability to take COMPLETE RESPONSIBILITY for their circumstances. His putting Nigeria’s failures off on Whites, even partially, is the perfect example of the black psychosis that’s really “keeping them down”. Mr. Obioama works hard… Read more »

Painful. But it’s true that IQ and the other capabilities of human brain make difference. I think Black people should have smaller and simpler society. It would make them happier. And rest of humans should never touch them. No conquering and no help, no contacts at all.

Black nations only “fail” if they try to be modern nations, i.e. copies of white nations. Left to themselves, black nations could very well “succeed” to be traditional tribal African societies which they have been for millennia. The problem starts when we try to make a population function on a level that is evolutionarily not its own.

Francis Galton once visited tribes in Africa in the 1800s, and he belived they were stupid, and lacked the intellect to be self-sufficient because they lived in tribes, while his race were superiors in many ways; and he strongly belived in eugenics. Galton was Darwin’s cousin and I first thought Galton was harsh; not so anymore.

I spent a month in South Africa during the summer of 1993. I spoke to many blacks and failed to find a single one who had even the slightest idea of what the end of White rule would mean to their country or daily lives. The general consensus seemed to be that all of their problems, financial and societal, would be magically solved by electing black leaders. I have not returned to South Africa since the first multiracial elections in 1994, but I strongly suspect that the lot of blacks has largely worsened in the last 24 years. One of the wealthiest nations on Earth has been reduced to a corrupt, economically disadvantaged third world hellhole with an obscene murder rate. This “peaceful” transition to majority rule was largely facilitated… Read more »

The very concept of a “Black State” is a contradiction

Let’s see…”selfishness”, “greed”, “corruption”, “ineptitude”, etc. But where, in this negroid’s assessment, (himself an atypical outlier of his race) is there any mention of the most important factor of all: IQ?

Where?
