Just like Asian, Indian and other groups in America - they do not allow a culture of failure and blame to run their lives - they struggle to succeed. I know you are very willing to discount the history of blacks but that history is ridiculously relevant. From their homes in Africa, blacks were abducted violently and brought to new lands. They were enslaved from 1519-1867; in N. America, from 1620 to 1865. We know what a few years of trauma can do to a single human being....even white people. It typically results in light to severe PSTD. Now try to imagine what 240 years of enslavement did to the black culture in this country......which was then followed by over a hundred years of legalized, de facto and institutionalized discrimination, racism and killings. The damage to any culture after 350+ years of trauma would be massive and would take decades, if not longer, to repair. So you can go on and on with your poppycock about how Asians and other groups in America have adapted so well but none of those groups, including your ancestors, ever had to go thru what blacks experienced. None.
