Why Blacks are a failure?

I'll give you an example of a very successful black state. The British Virgin Islands - 86% black, a tax haven, and the average salary is similar to that of Britain. Oh and they have low crime too. They're rich, safe and black, and keep voting to continue as a tax haven!

Here is their Prime Minister, Orlando Smith OBE - he's been PM since 2003:

perfect :)

Thanks for providing an example. I wish it was more than a tiny island with less than 30k inhabitants. It can be compared to a big company.

What makes BVI successful? Most British colonies are successful nations.

Is there a recipe that can be copied to other black nations?

What makes BVI successful?

Wealth. It is a tax haven - GDP per capita is about $48000. Crime follows poverty. Remove poverty and you remove crime. The British Virgin islanders were smart enough to vote to become a tax haven and continue as a tax haven despite pressure from other countries. In other words, once they focused on their own interests, they were fine.

P.S. the Cayman Islands are similarly rich and safe - but they're majority mixed race (African-White). Cayman Islands GDP per capita is the 14th highest in the world. And it is a no income tax place.
