I too hate smug black people.

Can't provide the source off the top of my head I'm afraid, though I think one of the people I read was W. Stewart.

A specific example is the Zulu language, which had no word for promise until white people made one up for their Zulu to English dictionary.
As well as this, they use the same word for time, space and future and lack a word for the past.
In these cultures only the present exists.
Most blacks in Africa do not naturally understand the future ramifications of their actions. An example is blocking a driveway. If nobody is leaving immediately then why does it matter? Obviously to us it matters because someone will want to leave in the future, but not to those native Africans.
This results in blacks in Africa generally lacking self awareness because they can't fathom anything outside of their own present.
They also do not properly internalise morality like most other cultures do, but require near constant enforcement.
Hell, they had to put up billboards in South Africa reminding blacks to not beat their families to death despite it being the culturally accepted norm.

Nobody is sure if this is cultural, biological or both.

Most African languages, in their native form, can't even conceptualise the idea of a promise.
Therefore, they don't make long term deals and some would say that writing was created to facilitate such deals.

But the real reason is the ebil white man destroying all signs of their culture.
