Why are Negroes dumb?

Answer 1

Although many bleeding hearts would state that this question smacks of racism I often ask myself the same question. My occupation places me in direct contact with many African-Americans both male and female. And a general consesous of their intelligence and ability to communicate on a professional level seems lacking. My position as a financial sales person requires me to educate them of the products they are applying for and as a rule their only concern is price. Despite the fact that if they find themsleves in a position where they will need to utilize our services they will be both uninformed and short on protection. As a young black male, it angers me to suffer through their blatant denial of the strides accomplished by our ancestors and the need to move forward. Hopefully, the select few that I am fortunate to speak to, are only a small minority and do not represent my race as a whole. Please do not assume that we are unintelligent, because we are not. You are exposed to the under belly of our clan.

Answer 2

Some black people are dumb, because they think that they're cool and try to be this "GANGSTER" and others aren't dumb at all! And it's just like any other race, so don't just pick on black people because they're black!!

Answer 3

They are not, for the most part. Traditionally however, they were deprived of educational opportunities. Black schools were condemned buildings without school supplies with hate groups running around and taking shots at them, while White schools were safe and adequate by the standards of that time period. There were even laws in some parts making it illegal to teach Black people how to read and write. Over time, education became unpopular with people of color and associated with "Whiteness," with Black kids attacking other Black kids for being too smart, and thus "too White." So in some segments of Black culture, a disdain for learning exists to this day. To them using physical strength and intimidation is more important, and they feel that fitting in with their peer group and its culture is more important than getting an education, preparing for the real world, becoming successful, getting a real job, or getting ahead.

Answer 4

Someone's race doesn't determine their intelligence. There are smart people, as well as ''dumb people'' of all races.

Answer 5

Black people aren't dumb there very intelligent, smart and bright (most of them)
