ZIMBABWE: WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE WHITE MAN CEASES TO RULE

Louisiana's per capita income is over twenty times that of Tanzania. It would be proportionately even greater if not for the fact that Negroes comprise such a relatively large percentage of the population of Louisiana. Thank you for your inquiry, and please let me know if I can further educate you with respect to this subject. -------------------------------------- ranks No. 1 in per capita income growth Economics professor says numbers inflated J.J. Alcantara Issue date: 4/2/08 Section: News PrintEmail Article Tools Page 1 of 2 next > Louisiana was the fas-*test*-('") growing state in per capita personal income in 2007. Louisiana is ranked No. 1 with the highest per capita personal income growth, according to a report released by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis. Louisiana's per capita personal income increased 9.2 percent, or $2,935, in 2007. Per capita income is the income per person in a given population. Per capita personal income is often used to measure a region's standard of living. The BEA report said the state's growth is due to Road Home subsidies given to Louisiana residents. Road Home is a federally funded program that provides compensation for Louisiana homeowners who were affected by hurricanes Katrina and Rita. For Louisiana's entire population, these subsidies averaged $1,250 per resident. More than 185,000 people have applied but only 155,639 were eligible to receive the subsidies, according to the Road Home Web site. As of March 20, Road Home awarded $6.1 billion, an average of $58,843 to all eligible applicants. Jim Richardson, economics professor, said the the BEA report is "overestimated because it contains a great deal of Katrina relief." Richardson said if the Road Home subsidies were not included in the BEA report, percentage change in per capita personal income would be around 5 percent - which would rank Louisiana at about No. 28. Despite being ranked No. 1 in per capita personal income growth, Louisiana is No. 31 for total per capita income. BEA reported that Louisiana has a total per capita personal income of $34,756 in 2007. This total is 10 percent less than the national average of $38,611. Kathy Albetski, chief of the Regional Economic Information System of the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, said having a higher per capita personal income could mean more money Louisiana residents have to spend.

Louisiana's per capita income is over twenty times that of Tanzania. It would be proportionately even greater if not for the fact that Negroes comprise such a relatively large percentage of the population of Louisiana. Thank you for your inquiry, and please let me know if I can further educate you with respect to this subject. It's all relative, isn't it. Louisiana is part of what is supposed to be the "grea-*test*-('")" nation in the world. Thank you for your offer, but I don't need "education" from racist sh*t like you.

I suggest you all google china in Africa. Theyre planning on shipping up to 300million people there with their "One China in Africa policy". They'll make us former colonial powers look whiter than white I think...pardon the pun! :lol:

It would be proportionately even greater if not for the fact that Negroes comprise such a relatively large percentage of the population of Louisiana. Ok, lets cut to the chase. Bigtex, you obviously beleive that there is something inherent in black people that keeps them in poverty and impedes their development. What do you think that might be? In your answer, perhaps you could consider why the next POTUS is highly likely to be a man of mixed race (with his father, in fact coming from Kenya) and that the current and previous US secretaries of State are also black. Didn't hold them back did it? Further, next month in Beijing, your country will be represented by a team with a disproportionately high number of black people (note also the high number of blacks dominating high level professional sports, basketball, boxing, baseball, gridiron, etc). Presumably they will have put in the extreme effort and made the sacrifices necessary to become elite athletes, or is there positive discrimination in the American Olympic selection system.

Thank you, Bulldog. Before I respond to you, however, please allow me to make the following statement to all who peruse BIGTEX' posts: In today's world, the accusation of "racism" is the last refuge of a scoundrel. One of the most obvious things "inherent" in Negroes which condemns a proportionately higher percentage of them to poverty and impeded development is the fact that, on a near universal level, they score the lowest on standardized intelligence -*test*-('")s. This lamentable fact, exacerbated by a lack of emotional maturity by a great percentage of the Negro race is responsible for the poverty and impeded cultural and economic development faced by them. This is NOT to deny that a Negro could or may, in fact, be the most intelligent person in the world, but BIGTEX is referring not to individuals but to the general characteristics of the race as a whole. BIGTEX has actively supported Negroes for high political office in the United States, including Alan Keyes for President of the United States, Ezola B. Foster for Vice-President of the United States, and is currently active in urging the great Negro economists and political observers Thomas Sowell and Walter Williams to seek high public office. We must ALWAYS judge persons as individuals instead of by racial traits, but to assert that the average Negro is as intelligent or emotionally mature as the average Western European (or those of Western European descent) is either an indication of one's ignorance or a gross denial of reality. Just to set the record straight, Barack Hussein Obama WILL NOT be elected to the office of President of the United States, and his race has nothing whatsoever to do with that fact. With respect to Condoleeza Rice, there is absolutely no doubt she is a brilliant person, though, as Secretary of State, she is in a position which is just a bit "over her head." Colin Powell is nothing more than a bad joke foisted upon the American people as a result of politically-correct affirmative action. He was not qualified to be Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, nor was he qualified to be Secretary of State. With respect to Negro athletes being over-represented in sports in the United States, the reason for that is quite simple. Negroes appear to have greater inherent athletic abilities than do whites. As a result, in the highly unlikely event that we ever get to the point where athletics has a greater positive impact on gross domestic product than intelligence, the nations of Africa might well work their ways into the family of prosperous nations. But BIGTEX wouldn't bet on it.

Thank you, Bulldog. Before I respond to you, however, please allow me to make the following statement to all who peruse BIGTEX' posts: In today's world, the accusation of "racism" is the last refuge of a scoundrel. Only if it's an false accusation of racism. One of the most obvious things "inherent" in Negroes which condemns a proportionately higher percentage of them to poverty and impeded development is the fact that, on a near universal level, they score the lowest on standardized intelligence -*test*-('")s. That is true.. However, it is also true that over the last few decades, blacks have closed the IQ -*test*-('") gap with the white population. Now is that because blacks are getting smarter, whites are getting dumber or something else? Also, Asian and oriental populations (and Jews) routinely score higher than whites on IQ -*test*-('")s. Are we whites dumber than them?

On average, those of us of Western European descent are not as intelligent as Ashkenazi Jews and certain Asians (primarily Koreans and Japanese). BIGTEX is not shy about speaking the truth, but it is a sad fact that most persons today do not want to hear the truth. There is SCANT evidence that Negroes are closing the gap with Western Europeans on properly-administered, valid intelligence -*test*-('")s. Those of us of Western European descent (and by that BIGTEX speaks primarily of the English, Scots, Scots-Irish, Welsh, Germans, Scandinavians, Dutch, Northern Italians . . . even some French) posess, in addition to innately high intelligence, a work ethic and motivation to succeed that is sadly lacking (to the same extent) in most other cultures. These things combined have propelled Western Europeans and those of Western European descent to the pinnacle of civilization.

Those of us of Western European descent (and by that BIGTEX speaks primarily of the English, Scots, Scots-Irish, Welsh, Germans, Scandinavians, Dutch, Northern Italians . . . even some French) posess, in addition to innately high intelligence, a work ethic ...... French? Work ethic? :lol: Sorry Tex, but you've lost all credibility there.

The French work hard at not working. Does that not count for something?

It is clearly "racist" to assert that Africans are, on average, slightly less intelligent than the white folks, though not, probably, to assert that the Indians and Chinese are smarter than either. And it is equally clearly not "racist" to assert that black people are better at running, jumping and throwing things. Strange world, isn't it? I remember how Professor Eysenk was pilloried for suggesting a smartness gap between Africans and others ... but facts is facts. If you don't like 'em, invent some more! :wink: I agree with Tex. Accusations of "racism" are the last refuge of the scoundrel in today's world ... present company excepted, of course! :lol: I think the reason Africans seem to be pretty incapable of organising a modern state effectively is all to do with their inability to see their fellows as people, rather than aliens from another tribe. Their customs require them to favour their own over others, once they have their hands in the till. Hence the corruption and tyranny we see endemic in sub-saharan Africa.

I think the reason Africans seem to be pretty incapable of organising a modern state effectively is all to do with their inability to see their fellows as people, rather than aliens from another tribe. Their customs require them to favour their own over others, once they have their hands in the till. But that's just human nature isn't it?

Their customs require them to favour their own over others, once they have their hands in the till. But that's just human nature isn't it? Yes, it is ... But the better sort of political leader in our kind of country makes an effort to govern in the interests of every section ... even socialist gummints do this, which is why their sectional interest (the unions) always fall out with Labour when it is in power. This is because they have to face all the people in an election every now and then. If you are "President for Life", or you can shamelessly fiddle the results, no such inhibitions exist. I don't think the shortcomings of African Gummints are anything to do with intelligence, or racial differences. They are social and moral shortcomings.

I don't think the shortcomings of African Gummints are anything to do with intelligence, or racial differences. They are social and moral shortcomings. I think I agree with that. I once heard it said, or read (I forget) that the worst thing you can call a western politician is a racist but that, in Africa, leaders are expected to be racist, in tribal terms. Tribalism in the scourge of Africa imo, and tribalism is racism.

So, the fact that Negroes score, on average, significantly less on standardized intelligence -*test*-('")s than do Western Europeans has NOTHING to do with the lamentable economic and social conditions endemic in that race? What about the dreadful conditions in Negro urban areas (and elsewhere) in the United States. Is "tribalism" to blame for that, instead of lack of intelligence and absence of emotional maturity?

What about the dreadful conditions in Negro urban areas (and elsewhere) in the United States. Is "tribalism" to blame for that, instead of lack of intelligence and absence of emotional maturity? Well you also have plenty of whites living in dreadful conditions in white areas in the US don't you? I'm thinking of the trailer parks and what have you. Does that mean that the whites are all thick and devoid of "emotional maturity"? And how about the (rapidly increasing) black middle classes? How about places like Prince George's County, Maryland, which has 62% blacks to 27% whites and yet has a median family income of over $62,000 (vs $48,000 nationally I believe) Further, the level of educational achievement (which is closely linked to income) appears to be rising amongst blacks. In 1960, 43% of the white population completed high school, while only 20% of the black population did. By 1980, over 50% of the black population graduated high school. Today, I understand, 86% of American blacks graduate from high school as opposed to 87.6% of whites. Doubtless you will claim that the standard has been downgraded to accommodate the blacks, but you'll have to explain why it is that roughly the same % of whites are failing to graduate high school as blacks.
