You can say its not a race thing, but you gotta look at the world. There are dirt poor white communities and dirt poor black communities in the US, they're not the same at all. Eastern Europe suffered under communism for generations, yet they are coming out strong. Meanwhile Africa suffered under colonialism, but the second that ended Africa began regressing to the fucking Bronze Age as fast as they could. Reality doesn't agree with your idealist assertion that this is not a race thing.

Poor white communities are safer than poor black communities. I know, because I lived in both.

It's safer to live and walkthrough a poor white community than a poor black community.

Meanwhile Africa suffered under colonialism

Is this actually true, though? I mean, sure, no one wants their territory to be occupied by foreigners. But the British actually improved things in their African colonies. And when they left, the colonies reverted to chaos.

That's a legit point. Colonialism brought food security, water security and sanitation. I worked in a post-colonial nation, and while the younger generation bought hard into the new nationalism, the older generation who actually fought the rid themselves of coloniamslm would very quietly and privately tell you that life was better under colonialism.

Meanwhile Africa suffered under colonialism

Who suffered Depended on who controlled the Colony. British and French Colonies excluding South Africa were comparatively better in regards to treatment of Natives. Other nations not so much. The Congo for example. Initially under control of Belgium’s monarch Leopold II via private entities was a humanitarian disaster. Forced Labor, Private Armies that terrorized and abused the natives at will.

Things improved when Belgium’s government directly annexed the Colony. But it still wasn’t a particularly great or Humane place.

I simply call it an IQ problem, you see it with whites too just not on a large scale. I can't imagine living in a country that was full of some of my lower IQ friends, i could see it turning into a stone age culture real quick if you put a few thousand 70iq people in the same region.

Now look at a map of it, and you will know why.

Overlay a map of GDP by nation on top of a map of avg IQ by nation.

Hint, they're the same.

I remember reading a story from a missionary to Africa. As soon as the missionaries left the African's ate the crops that weren't ready, then the seeds for the next season, then sold all the farming equipment they were given. Literally learned nothing, and no concept of preparing for the future. It sounds cruel, but the world really needs to allow Darwinism to run it's course.
