A Japanese teacher exposes the deep dysfunction of American black culture

It's pretty plain below: As an outsider he can see clearly the absurdities that the Left have produced.



He seems genuinely uncomprehending of why many blacks are like that. His incomprehension is not surprising given the huge efforts that have been put into covering up the root cause of all the dysfunction.

Like so much else it boils down to IQ. IQ doesn't explain everything but it explains far more than most people realize. And the fact is that American blacks have a very low average IQ. There are of course some very smart blacks but they are rare -- much rarer than very smart whites. To put a number on it: For roughly a century we have known that on almost any IQ test, blacks on average score about one standard deviation below the white average -- where only four standard deviations make up almost all of the range.

And IQ is a strong predictor of academic and employment success. You cannot go far either in the education system or in employment with a low IQ. In school most blacks simply CANNOT do the work set for them beyond a certain low point. This "gap" in educational achievement is exceedingly well known and is exactly what the IQ tests predict. Educators have for many years turned themselves inside out trying to erase that gap but nothing works -- as you would expect of something that is genetically hardwired in the person. One could in fact dispense with all talk of IQ and simply talk about "unteachability" with very little loss.

And the unteachability is so serious that many blacks "graduate" High School barely able to read and write. I contrast that with a "love note" that a little Chinese girl aged about six wrote to her teacher (A teacher I know) at the end of Grade 1. It said: "I luv my techa". It's not perfect English but to write at that level and at that age is remarkable. The Chinese of course have high average IQs -- about half a standard deviation above the white average. So once again IQ tests are a good predictor. The Chinese girl had very high teachability. The student body at Harvard would be almost entirely Chinese if the racist Harvard leadership did not conspire to keep most of them out.

And from black unteachability all else flows. Poor educational achievement will exclude blacks from almost all good jobs and most positions of homor and respect in society. Some blacks who sing and dance well or run fast will achieve wealth and respect but that accounts for very few.

And blacks can see the differential between themselves and whites perfectly clearly. It is too obvious to miss. They see it every time they turn on the TV. And they mostly hate it. It makes them angry. But it is all too human to blame others for one's own failings and they do exactly that. They need to think that somehow "Whitey" or "racism" is responsible for their place at the bottom of most heaps. So anger is never far beneath their surface and can well up readily towards anybody they are near -- black or white. So even though most homicides in America are black on black, it is also true that homocides inflicted on whites are mostly inflicted by blacks -- as our Japanese friend documents.

And as our Japanese commenter also pointed out, that is certainly a good reason for whites to be very wary of blacks.

And the poor teachbility has another dire effect: Black theft of various kinds -- mugging, home invasions etc. Because they can rarely earn much money by working, they steal it or attempt to do so. And because many Americans are armed that can and sometimes does lead to violent confrontions in which one or more people die. See my blog GUN WATCH

So, one way or another, black dysfunction traces back to black IQ. Blacks of course are not all the same and some find a place in white society that they are comfortable with. It has been estimated, however, that about a third of all black males will spend some time in prison. So the siutation described here is a mass phenomenon, even if it is not universal.

Nobita, the author of the video above usually broadcasts as "Find Your Love in Japan". Find Your Love In Japan is a Youtube channel. He makes videos similar to That Japanese Man Yuta where he interviews Japanese men, women and foreigners on the street on current popular subjects. In Nobita's videos, he mainly focuses on topics such as "How to find love in Japan" and Japanese people's opinions on relationships with people inside and outside of their culture. In his private life, he is a language teacher in Tokyo.
