Hi Dann I think the only reason we do not have more Black Grandmasters in the USA, is because most blacks buy into the racist lie that blacks are intellectionally inferior, and the Culture promotes chess as a Smart mans Game, Also most have a misunderstanding about what chess is all about, they think only boring old men play the game. But if i am not mistaken chess was created actually in Egypt, and the Greek Historian Herodudus said that "the egyptian were black with wolly hair", read the life and works of herodutus.
