CMV: Black Culture and Behavior is Largely Responsible for Black Issues, not Societal Oppression.

Let me start by saying this: I believe that police are more violent towards black people, even innocent ones -  I've seen data that proves it.  I understand that black people do experience more trauma.  However, I do not believe this is the main cause for the issues that plague the black community.  It definitely makes them worse, but I do not believe that it is necessarily the main cause, or even a major one.  Success in life is based partly on luck, but nobody can deny that talent is a major factor.  The IQ data says that blacks average 85, whites average 100, and (Northeast) Asians 105.  Which race on average makes the most money in this country? You guessed it, Asians do.  When individuals are matched by IQ, wealth disparities almost completely go away.  In fact, some blacks outperform whites of equal IQ in terms of wealth.  However, IQ doesn't even tell the whole story.  Matching for IQ, blacks still are less conscientious.  Blacks have higher average psychoticism (see Hans Eysenck), a trait which encompasses aggression, egocentricity, and lack of empathy, but on the flip side creativity.  The creativity (and egocentricity) benefit of this trait helps explain why a disproportionate number of blacks succeed in music, acting, and certain other creative professions.  As a caveat, this is much less solid data than the IQ data.  So we have a case for genetic causes of black issues.  There are also cultural issues.  Black culture discourages academic success, encourages promiscuity, and glorifies violence.  In the ghetto the bad messages are even stronger.   
 A normal person living there could be influenced to do bad things by their peers.  I will say this about the culture stuff though: I could accept that the whole thing was started and influenced by white people, and that a lot of the problems are caused by a deep sense of shame and insecurity.  However, I still believe that oppression is not the biggest factor.  The Ashkenazi Jews (average IQ of about 110, by the way) have been oppressed for hundreds, if not thousands of years.  They have been through pogram after pogram and yet, in every country they live in they are disproportionately represented among the educated and the elite, and have been since the middle ages!  Some people respond to adversity by rising above, some respond by falling into despair, and some respond by becoming the oppressors themselves.  Everyone reacts to events in their own way, guided by their individual personality and the culture in which they have been raised.  I do not think that black people are at fault for their problems, as most of them are caused by things outside of their control.  Do we even have free will? That's a question for another day.

IQ is impacted by nutrition, premature birth, pollution, education, etc. Growing up in poverty can lower IQ.  It is not just genetic.  Disparities caused by current racism and the effects of previous racism cause disparities in IQ.

> Asians 105

If you look at the history of the US, the ethnically asian population of the US are predominately descended from Asians with the financial means to immigrate here  (correlates with higher income, better access to healthcare, etc.).

Look at immigrants from Nigeria.  They, on average, are high income skilled immigrants, like many Jewish and asian immigrants who have come to our country.  And, they do well in this country.

You are incorrectly attributing results of systematic oppression and poverty to genetics.
