One more key point regarding outliers. It is outliers who move society forward, including in white societies. So if a people group can produce such outliers (and retain them) society can progress technologically and culturally.
I would also add, people overlook some of the ethnic problems in these African nations. White people freak out at a 5-10% Muslim population, saying it is ruining their country, now imagine a 50% Muslim country and 50% non-muslim. How do you think that will work out? Chaotically or smoothly?
I'm starting to think many white people have a pathological need for blacks to never do well. In Africa they draw their borders in a way that leads to unstable nations. In America when blacks were making great strides post slavery, they were "helped" with welfare by LBJ. Now after generations of welfare and gangster culture which whites helped foster, white people look aghast and say "see these people can never do well. bad genes! bad genes!"
Then in other African nations whites decided to make themselves a separated dominate minority and treat the blacks as second class citizens rather than doing some intelligent integration. Then came the predictable communist revolutions against the minority supremacist group and then economic ruin. And once again whites will say "see these blacks didn't know how good they had it as our second class citizens". No neither option was good, you fucked up too.
I understand what the Bible is saying about the sin of pride now.
