Here's Why The Powers-That-Be Couldn't Possibly Let Ramarni Wilfred Be

Watch the BBC video here

Ramarni Wilfred is a British prodigy who made global headlines after scoring an astonishing 162 on the Mensa IQ test at just 11 years old. That score placed him in the top 1% of the world's population, putting him ahead of intellectual giants like Albert Einstein, Bill Gates, and Stephen Hawking.

 

When I first came across this story in a Facebook group, I immediately commented that he would not be allowed to use his intelligence by the powers that be, especially not in a black community. In fact, he would not be allowed to live or stay sane if he was allowed to stay alive.

This is a conviction I hold regarding highly intelligent Africans living in this culture that isn't mere guess work. I have had first hand experience of this truth and it is in fact writ-large in history, and the present too, as I will explain below.

But first I will get one thing out of the way. Now, this is something I don't normally talk about, and I will only mention it here to make a point. You see, I also have a very high IQ.

Exceptionally high IQ's are not things you see on the faces of people. You may sense that the individual is odd, maybe that they talk strange or behave differently. but these observations seldom make the cause clear. In my life experience, unless in academic circles, people seldom rate me highly on the intelligence scale. They'll say I look smart or intelligent but seldom rate me above average, and I am easily above even that.

 

Whether my IQ is higher than Einstein's is not something I can know because I have never taken an IQ test that goes above the score of 145. The total number of questions in all the tests I took was 145, and I scored an average of 138.

The IQ bell curve that helps categorize where people fall along the scale of intelligence, and does so in a neatly compartmentalized way.

If you look this up, you will discover that it is an exceptional score. In fact, only 2% of people in society belong to this mean and of these, only a fraction hit 138.

I do have my reservations regarding quantified intelligence but do know that IQ test results are quite reliable as indicators of how adjusted one is to the dominant culture. In my opinion, having a score as high as mine simply means I would find it easy to find my way in this culture, nothing more, nothing less.

The distribution of IQ scores differs among different races, with the Asians (mongoloids) having more of the high scorers, seconded by the whites, with the blacks coming last. Now, this doesn't mean that us blacks do not have people who score very highly. In fact, just as my example, or that of Ramarni clearly demonstrates, we score just as highly as both Asians and whites ... just that we have less incidences of such scores.

I have sat in international classroom environments where students from Asia, Europe, Africa and Arabia sat for the same exams. The expectation was always that the Asians would come up tops, followed by the whites, but I surprised everybody by passing top of the class.

And this experience isn't unique to me as a black person.

And there is another known fact about our IQ scores that points at how it possibly came to be that we ended up having a paucity of highly intelligent people. Africans who have very high IQ scores seldom have family members who also score as highly. The other family members gravitate towards other means, whereas in white and Asian families, high IQ individuals tend to cluster within families.

What this means is that Ramarni, for example, wouldn't have a sibling who would also be a genius, no matter how many family members he had. He would remain the odd one out, whereas Einstein's chances of having a family member who is also a genius are higher.

This last fact suggests that the low incidence of highly intelligent people among Africans isn't natural. It means that intelligence was bred out of us and is only manifesting in recessive genes that aren't yet enough to go around. One way this could have happened is through intermarriages between various ethnicities as members of the race migrated through Africa after fleeing the north. Another is through the extensive targeted purges that the race was subjected to during colonialism (for continental Africans), and slavery (for diaspora Africans).

What we know about slavery on the plantations in the diaspora is that, to keep on the safe side, Africans were closely monitored for intelligence. They were not allowed to learn to read or get educated because education makes a man difficult to put down. The nature of education or knowledge acquisition by reading is the process makes of any man a better individual than they would have become without it. But then people who are naturally intelligent do not need education to be awake. It comes naturally for them that their eyes are open by default. In a cultural context where the truth has to be kept hidden, these types cannot be allowed to live because they are revolt and rebellion risks.

In systematically eliminating intelligent Africans, the en-slavers were making a choice between being secure in the knowledge they would see another day on the plantation or not.

The same thing applied in colonial Africa where settlers had the same interests to look out for as well. Intelligent Africans were outright eliminated when they were identified. People of mixed race parentage were kidnapped and sent to live abroad in Europe to avoid them growing up in African communities because it was feared that they would inherit the intelligence of their white parent to help Africans overthrow colonialism.

 

Holistic purges became a feature of the slavery and colonialism systems and it has also spilled over into the present as the need of the west to keep Africans completely controlled has not abated. This truth cannot be disputed and, in many ways, many Africans, including my own self, have been perfect examples that holistic culls are still a reality for us. What's worse is the fact today, unlike was the case then, the actual purging is being done in part by our own misled people. This in itself is a measure of how low the average intelligence of the race has dropped as a result of the same purges.

A gene has almost been bred out of us.

Any walk through the streets of Africa will show you clear examples of this. People in Africa just don't see the glaring examples of their failure to cope in this culture that are all around them. Millions will walk right by a major fault and not a single individual would recognize it as one or realize that one is in the making. Very little shows basic capability and capacity, for instance the capacity to maintain roads, to cope with social adversity, etc.

The only people who could make a difference for Africans in their current mental condition are geniuses, because only they would come up with the short and long term solutions to the hurdles Africans face in this quest to cope in this capitalist system, and these individuals are exactly what the west, that still has vast interests in African resources, wouldn't want roaming around African neighborhoods unseen, where God forbid they could start their devising of strategies towards a viable, modernized Africa that's in control of its destiny, which also translates as the continent being in control of its total resources.

Now, this, the west cannot  tolerate, and preemptive measures to prevent such a scenario from actualizing have of necessity got to include making sure intelligent Africans don't materialize, and if they do then they shouldn't be allowed to get their way.
