    Those principles were abandoned. Race holds no real importance

    Only whites?
    Oprah Winfrey - $2.8B or $3.9B?
    Robert Smith - $2.5B
    Michael Jordan, Bill Cosby, Tiger Woods, Mariah Carey, Charlie Rangel,...

    Why are only certain races successful?

    Yes; only whites are successful. What don't you understand, and why do you pretend to not understand averages or that none of those listed would be successful in black run societies?

    Obviously I was initially speaking of averages; only someone extremely dishonest would take my comment to cherry pick outliers.

    It's also undeniable blacks are uplifted from living in white society, and black society holds blacks back.

    No black nations have high human development indices; they are all white, Northeast Asian and oil rich gulf states.

    And you think that is due to race?

    I questioned your use of the word 'only' and your response, below was

    Choose your words more carefully in the future, and look up the word 'only' in a dictionary if you're unsure of its meaning.

    Only whites and Northeast Asians as groups are successful. Beyond cherry-picking individual examples, do you not agree there is no successful black run society?

    I believe black failure is due to a combination of genetics and culture. Why do you think there is no single successful black run society?

    I think the word 'more' would be a better choice than 'only' as there are indeed other than whites and Northeast Asians who are successful in every society.
    How many black run societies have existed for any length of time? Most African nations were created after WW II, and did not begin as black run.

    Show me proof he is controlled by Soros or the Koch brothers. If you do not understand that then you are uninformed.

    So? South Korea is a thriving nation born of war and occupation. Why is there no single successful black run society?

    Ethiopia and Liberia are the only Black run nations that have existed more than a hundred years. What is a successful society?

    Dodge noted and I take said dodge as an admittance that you cannot or willnot defend your previous claim. As for your question, I have not made the above quoted claim thus I bear no burden of proof.
