Are white people more intelligent than black

 

                   Are white people more intelligent than black people?

           First of all,let me give all my thanks to everyone here in the group ,especially those whose contributions to shed light on this topic  embody a  critical thinking that is much needed .We have for long being taught philosophy and schooled not for the sake  of acting like school material -ruled ,governed people ,but to draw the conclusion of what  serves the person we want to be.We shall then remember that education is nothing more than a history of men and women who ,with much effort and observation,have  designing a  rhapsody of ideas  to be taught .They have packaged them into contents and signed  them as their own creation.Education in all its entirety is not a mysterious emanation or something higher than what you think .It is a fruit of a poised mind which has been handed down to past generation to be given to you and me.It keeps on going through mind manufacture for refreshing , readaptation ,correction and for complementing.It still holds the very power of inspiration that rings our spirit as learners.Education is a mind -manufactured fruit which belongs to the humanity.

     So let’s me have my say on the topic raised above.

     It is a common truth that colonization has played a key role in the history of the black world.When the white man first set foots in Africa,he found black creatures pretty different from him.In his efforts to culturally inflluence them ,he sent them at school where they were reminded of their black color and taught about western mind superiority .The aim was to make them understand that they cannot do better than White or top them.This was unfortunately drilled deep into black people mind and was handed down to us.We bear it within us.It is consciously or subconsciously sealed in our mind.We may wonder if we haven't sacked it or if it is a genetic inheritance.That is a truth we must accept and recorrect .We ought to never bend down to it if we want to live in our originality.

    So as we recognize the paramount importance of white people breakthrough on  empty lands and major discoveries  recorded in the marble of different medias,we shall  at the same signal the pitfalls of the so valued white people intelligency.

Charles DARWIN ,father of evolution theory and influential precursor of psychlogical studies and experiments,has himself declared that women are intellectually inferior to men.GODDARD (google him for more) in his effort to find a response to the decreasing intelligence average in US ,suggested that boys and girls with advanced IQ should form couples so as to give birth to intelligent children.As a consequence,a great number of black people were deported  after IQ tests found them ineligible .They were  tagged inferior and not  needed in  the land of brainy people.

    Today,after years-long time  of hesitations and questioning,we can firmly assert that the intellectual heritage of eminent brainy persons whose theories  are ours while sitting exam or having a look at quotes left to us by them is not to the full the truth or truths Universals and Relativists have been debating over .Rather than reflecting  the good of the human thought,the ideas that we often have on our shelves in school libraries or in booklets are not for food for memory,but food for thought.We shall then be able to move beyond stereotypes such as that of Darwin.We shall seek to know through  ourselves ,not by swallowing every philosophy or theory coming our way.We can overcome stereotypes by tapping into our originality ;by stepping in the path where we will be building our future ,not confronting the past or correcting the controversial words of  our forefathers.

The idea of white people intellectual superiority has overshadowed the history of Africa till now.From the very times of our generation,that stereotype was handed down to us; since we have been struggling to acknowledge our identity as we were shaken in our inner being.We suffered and endured a mental grievance,a long-standing ache that haunts us today.

  And so as  we know how much this has inhibited so many in their move to find whom they are,let stick to marching into the steps of those who successfully acted against that like OBAMA whose move to the US presidential mansion has defied any color-centered interpretation and questioning of black people ability ,boosting afro-american students’ ranking in class.
