Why Blacks Cannot Succeed
I have written many, many articles that Blacks as a group are not been able to succeed as do the Jews, Hindus, South Koreans and other groups. Yes, yes, there are Black millionaires and billionaires but aside from individuals here and there, as a group they are dismal failures.
For example, Blacks consistently over the decades experience an unemployment rate twice that of whites.
What you will rarely see are Blacks helping other Blacks. I explain why in my article Why So Few Blacks Open Stores: The Allegory of the long spoons: Malvy. People infected with Malvy would rather starve than share food with another person or would rather lose their job than help another Black find employment. There is something in the Black psyche that keeps one Black from helping another. It is this disease that is the greatest impediment to Blacks achieving success in this country.
Before any of my readers offer the age-old trite that it is discrimination holding back Blacks - that is nonsense. In my article Discrimination Does Not Lead to Poverty I noted that in Malaysia there is, and has been for centuries, legalized discrimination against the Chinese minority, but the Chinese just keep continuing to outperform the Malays. Discrimination doesn't mean crap - the Chinese help each other - Blacks do not.
This is not just a phenomenon in America - The whole of Africa is a failure because of Malvy. I am not the only one who thinks so - author Ilana Mercer agrees with me:

"Easily the most controversial thinker on the causes of underdevelopment in Africa is Cameroonian Daniel Etounga-Manguelle. In 1999, he attended a symposium on 'Cultural Values and Human Progress' at Harvard. He had come to bury and not praise the cultures of the Continent. In a paper titled 'Does Africa Need a Cultural Adjustment Program?,' Etounga-Manguelle quipped controversially that 'The African works to live but does not live to work.'"
"Another of his off-the-cuff remarks: 'African societies are like a football team in which, as a result of personal rivalries and a lack of team spirit, one player will not pass the ball to another out of fear that the latter might score a goal.' Etounga-Manguelle was referring to what he perceives to be the culture of envy—the kind of all-consuming envy that, in the Rwanda of 1994, caused certain Africans (Hutus) to attempt to kill off other, frequently more industrious, better-looking brethren (Tutsis)."
Read that again: "... one player will not pass the ball to another out of fear that the latter might score a goal."
This has been holding back Blacks in America, it has been holding back Blacks in Africa.
