Dumb Black People ?

From an article in Black Enterprise:

Many racist and under-informed people would have you believe that Blacks are not as smart as other ethnic groups. I blame culture - not race. Many Africans have immigrated to America. Many of these immigrants have an education.

Country of Origin....................% of population over 25 years old with a bachelor's degree or higher

Egypt.....................................59.7
Cameroon................................58.7
Nigeria....................................58.6
South Africa.............................55.8
Kenya.....................................51.4
Democratic Rep. of Congo...........41.8
Sudan.....................................40.2
Morocco..................................36.0
Ghana.....................................31.6
Sierra Leone.............................31.3

The national average for all Americans is 24.4 percent. According to the "jstor" site listed below, over three million African-Americans have at least a bachelor's degree. That would make the national average for African-Americans at about 6.7 percent . It would seem that race has less to do with education than does one's culture.
