Additionally, according to a 2006 American Community Survey conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau, 17 percent of all Nigerians in the U.S. hold a master's degree, 4 percent hold a doctorate and 37 percent have a bachelor's degree. In comparison, 8 percent of the white population in the U.S. hold a master's degrees, 1 percent hold a doctorate and 19 percent have a bachelor's degrees.
Even the census shows Nigerians have a median household income well above the American average, and above the average of many white and Asian groups, such as those of Dutch or Korean descent.
While I agree judge a man by his character, not skin color, holding degrees does not mean they outperform. I have an MBA, but that fact does not make me smarter than those that don't. When I meet a good hvac repairman or carpenter I don't think that I am out peforming them.
My argument is that they are not more intelligent or less intelligent. People are a mix of genetics and experiences.
I dont equate earning more money with more intelligence either. Plenty of morons make a lot of money and plenty of smart people don't. It is a matter of your priorities in life.
I understand why you are making this point based on the commenters in this thread. But if you are right then that would mean they could be right about non nigerian blacks.
As for the plight of black communities in the US, I believe much of it is engineered by the left through policy and brainwashing.
Yeah you and I are not in disagreement. The OP i was replying to was insinuating black people are incapable of providing value to American society by stating they are "sub-race."
I do believe decades of CIA just filling the community with drugs, disease, and propaganda has created this victim mindset that hurts the community, but that would hurt any community.
So they're earning degrees, and earning more money, yet they are still dumber?
And are Nigerians getting free college here in America? Where are you seeing that?
Are we talking about Nigeria as a nation, or Nigerian immigrants to America?
What's the average IQ of southern Americans?
Did you know "cracker" Americans are the cause for "ghetto" black culture? See Thomas Sowells book on Race, Black Rednecks and White Liberals. As the comedian once said, "a poor white man has more in common with a poor black man, than a poor white man does with a rich white man." Maybe by being in close proximity, they picked up on each other's cultures, habits, and mentality? We see this in the Old Testament with the Israelites taking on the pagan gods of their surrounding nations.
And perhaps regional IQ isn't a great reflection of genetic potential, which is what you're trying to prove?
How do you say college doesn't equal intelligence, yet in the same post state IQ tests do? Aren't they one in the same? A way to gauge ones intelligence through a defined system? Yet here you are supporting one yet denying the other? Sounds like you're the one cherry picking.
Because of this, I imagine in you're personal relationships, you project a lot. Do you find yourself accusing your spouse or friends or kids of things you do, or accuse them of traits you're guilty of displaying? You seem irrational, like you prefer to cling to anger, rather capable of understanding logic. Do you struggle socially? Or keeping long term, healthy relationships?
If so there is help. You're obviously passionate, but unable to process simple facts and handle your emptionseans you're emotionally stunted, on the spectrum, or afflicted by some personal trauma/issues. And that's okay, we're in this together, but for arguments sake, you're missing the logic.
Nigerians outperform even whites and Asians in terms of earning degrees. You're literally saying they're the smartest people amongst your idiot self.

I don't understand why you're so angry: if they're intelligent and hard working, that's a good thing for America.
While I agree judge a man by his character, not skin color, holding degrees does not mean they outperform. I have an MBA, but that fact does not make me smarter than those that don't. When I meet a good hvac repairman or carpenter I don't think that I am out peforming them.
Rant over
They are also earning more, what are your thoughts on that part?
My argument is that they are not more intelligent or less intelligent. People are a mix of genetics and experiences.
