If Africans are inherently inferior to Europeans intellectually, why is that African immigrants to the U.S. are the most educated group in this country? with education levels that surpass that of Asian Americans. Why is that African descended people from outside the U.S can come here and outperform native whites and blacks? Is it mere coincidence that the majority of black students enrolled in the nation's Ivy Leagues are the children of foreign born blacks? Foreign born blacks don't have the same heritage of anti-intellectual evangelical Christianity as native blacks.
Excessive religiosity remains even when blacks move up the socioeconomic ladder, unlike other ethnic groups higher educational levels doesn't correlate with atheism for blacks. This dynamic could possibly explain why children from black families making 75k or more are doing worse on standardized tests than white children from poor families making less than 10k annually. Evangelical Christianity must be implicated whenever discussing black disadvantage. And whites will take offense to this assertion, because this anti-rational evangelical emotionalism has its origins in Protestant Northern Europe. Racist whites can't attribute black underachievement to our biology because it's their versions of Christianity that's really holding us back.
