I suspect we will all be sent to corrective labour camps after the revolution.

West Indians in the UK are slave descendants; they were imported for manual jobs in the midlands and had no qualifications or qualities worth a damn.

The results are entirely predictable. Pick your IQ or culture or both explanation. The UK education establishment, completely subverted by modish theories, finds the data wildly confusing for its go-to “waaaaaycism” explanation.

I believe a similar pattern holds in the US.

In the old days of the Nigerian coastal tribal societies, slavery was a permeable thing, much like Graeco-Roman slavery was. You could move back and forth across the line between free and slave, and it boiled down to “straighten out and contribute, or we’ll make you…”. Screw up often and hard enough, you could go from fairly high rank free to slave very easily. And, guess which examples got sold on to the white man to ship off to the Caribbean? The most recalcitrant, useless individuals.

Or, so said a Nigerian acquaintance of mine, speaking about why he was so prejudiced against American blacks and others. From his point of view, they’d done the opposite of the winnowing out that Europe did–All the troublemaking lazybones got shipped out, and the productive stayed home.

And, of course, that’s the interpretation of a man coming from a tribe that sold a butt-load of his people to the whites on the coast, but, still… It does explain a certain difference in the national experiences of Jamaicans vs. Nigerians.

If you buy into that sort of thing.
