Why are black people so ignorant?

Answer 1

Answer:The question, as asked, makes assumptions that are not valid.

Black people are not, as a group, any more ignorant than any other ethnicity or nationality. Condi Rice, as a single example, is arguably one of the most intelligent people alive today; she is black and no credible individual could ever call her ignorant. There are certainly millions of extremely intelligent black people in the world, just as there are groups of ignorant and undereducated people of all races.

In the end, it all comes down to opportunity, motivation, health, and financial ability to pursue education. If a parent has the financial ability to be home from work to be with the child to properly teach and guide them in all aspects of life (education being one of the most important), then that child will have a better chance to become another Condi or Obama, as long as they have the normal capacity to learn (which is in no way race-specific) along with opportunity, motivation, health, and finances. Without proper guidance from parents or another role model, the child can have less curiosity and a lowered desire to learn.

But, obviously, in the US nowadays, there is an enormous imbalance in opportunity and finances between the rich and the poor and the middle class becomes smaller and smaller as the economy and lack of jobs pushes them into the poor category.

It is the social inequity that makes educational opportunity less available to people of all types in the US rather than genetics. That means more than before, better education is being provided to those who have the financial means to go to school rather than to the general public through government programs and opportunities. The poor have to work many more hours (if they are lucky enough to be employed) to support themselves and family, leaving precious little time for educational pursuits.

Answer 2

Answer No. You cannot just say that an entire race is ignorant. Anybody can be ignorant, but that doesn't mean that everyone of an entire race is suffering from ignorance. Answer Two problems with this question. One, an entire demographic group cannot be ignorant or educated. Only individuals can be ignorant or educated. So, no, as a whole African Americans are not ignorant. Certain individuals who are African American might be ignorant, though, same as certain individuals who are Hispanic or White or Irish or whatever. Two, ignorance and education depend on the subject being discussed: an individual can be ignorant on math but know a lot about how to repair a car; an individual can be ignorant on repairing a car but know exactly how to tell when someone is lying; an individual can be completely ignorant about when someone is lying and know tons about math. ANSWER As a general condition afro-nipo-french-whatever race or origin we are all prety much the same. As lack of knowledge, which is minimized by education, the poorer the person is, the greater is the likelihood to be more ignorant than a healthier (financially speaking) another. Because of previous slavery conditions that black people suffered in Americas and the relative short term that slavery was banned in the new continent, Afro descendants did not have time enough - yet - to catch up with the education levels of whites people. Not only financial conditions count, but also accessibility that sometimes come from tradition, among other things. For instance, if we compare the average American with the average French, the American will tend to be more ignorant than the French.
