It has been suggested that the blacks in America have lower intelligence than average and this comment has met with a very hostile reception This to my mind would be the logical outcome of three centauries of slavery.Firstly the more intelligent would have a better chance to avoid becoming slaves in the first place.Second as slaves they were treated more like farm animals with selective breeding for the most strong and docile while the clever ones were prevented from fathering offspringThe first thing you notice when visiting America is that the blacks are not black but brown showing that they carry the genes of their white "owners" and the time since 1865 has not been long enough to breed this out .Although nominally free now they lack the educational facilities that would make the most of them and tend to gravitate into menial low paid or physically demanding work such as Football players
