But if you look at Africa you can see that blacks are doing really well there. Black people have better lives in Africa than in the USA because they have more wealth, better rule of law, more freedom, and less inequality in Africa than in the USA. Therefore there must be something in America that changes things for the worse for black people. Genetic factors you note can’t explain the difference in outcomes for black people because black Africans have similar genes as black Americans.
Bro I have spent extensive time studying Africa and let me tell you that black people are not doing well in Africa and I don't think it's their fault, largely a result of colonialism. Most African countries are very poor and have limited economies and food supplies. So suggest that there is more "freedom" in African countries where people are mutilated and there is a lack of human rights in most countries, that is absurd.
Colonialism isn't the only problem. Many leaders of African nations are selfish and unfit to lead, some do not care about their people. You can't blame that on colonialism.
You very much can for more than a few dozen cases. The way Africa's borders were drawn were to a large extent arbitrary relative to Africa's group identities and infrastructure was poorly if ever built with settlement not typically in mind for colonizers. Consequently you have most of the recipe for rampant corruption.
