@James84Tony @wehrkatzer @EHBEA1 Well first off that wouldn't invalidate the IQ data. But more colonized african coutnries - by time or % european settlers - positively correlates with life expectancy, education stats and per capita GDP of the black population.
@James84Tony @wehrkatzer @EHBEA1 I don't know what you mean by "pillaging". Europeans ended global slavery and paid for everything they got from Africa. And what is there to "pillage" in Africa in 1880? Europeans gave up those empires 60-80 years later because they cost more to maintain than they got.
@James84Tony @wehrkatzer @EHBEA1 The absolute wealthiest country in Europe during this colonial period before ww2 was Germany, which had very few colonies, and none after 1918. Scandanavia had no colonies, and they were wealthier than UK or France per capita by the 1980s. Where's this "pillaged" wealth?
@James84Tony @wehrkatzer @EHBEA1 South Africa blacks are near the top of black African per-capita GDP, but being the most heavily "colonized", they should be near the bottom.
The relation isn't perfect. I think the richest blacks in Africa are from Mauritius or something, but the correlation is strong.
