The answer is that blacks find it difficult to work as a group , it will be wrong to say they are incapable of working as a group. It is this individualism or intolerance for group cooperation and defence that is probably responsible for the break-up of blacks into incredibly large number of ethnic nationalities. It is also probable that this same factor, as well, made and still makes blacks vulnerable to external forces of divide and rule . The nature and intensity of our intrigue is often more group destructive or misapplied . Too much intrigue is not only counter-productive but could be fatal.
Blacks are probably too clever to work together.
They are probably always involved in the game of trying to out-manoeuvre one another, at the end they lose out. The cumulative effect of this excessive internal struggle is best described by the saying a house divide against itself can not stand . There seems to be constant disruptive intrigue in black communities that predispose to underdevelopment and external manipulation, except these are controlled we are likely to continue to wander in the wilderness. For example why is that, it is in Africa that virtually all elections and census results are alleged rigged, never accepted and nearly always leads to some form of violence or the other. It is the nature and intensity of intrigue that account for this difference.
