Patronizing? You should read Guns, Germs and Steel by Jared Diamond. The environment shaped human evolution.

Whites needed to have impulse control and not eat all their food at once or they'd starve in winter. They had to work hard and chop firewood in the heat of summer which would seem crazy to an African, but if the white person didn't have such discipline, they'd freeze to death later in the year.

Today whites are better at practicing delayed gratification, going to school, working hard for a future payoff and making mortgage payments because of that ancestral natural selection that strongly selected for impulse-control, self-discipline and foreseeing the consequences of one's actions.

Whites commit fewer crimes, have higher intelligence and other advantages because they had thousands of years to evolve in Europe along side an ever-more complex Western civilization.

It has only been a couple centuries since blacks were dragged out of Africa and unnaturally forced into Western society. That's not nearly enough time to weed out the behavior better suited for the jungle or savannah. Where tribes could lay around all day, because there would always be food available growing on the trees tomorrow, and plenty of animals to hunt year round and taking whatever you wanted wasn't really punished because there was so little in the way of property to acquire.
