People don't have different thought processes, especially not as a function of race. What some people have are non-normal perspectives, however those people are nearly always either very very stupid or very very smart. Hence non-normal. Human beings nearly all think and solve problems similarly--it's part of what makes us all the same species. Our cognitive algorithms are basically pre-programmed.
For example: Cats don't push. Really--watch how cats play and interact with objects. Cats can scoop and pull. However, do not push. Even the typical "Cat Pat" is just the first stage of a scoop or a gentle smack.
Humans similar in that we have particular thinking and problem solving aparati that are literally baked into our hardware. Anybody who tells you that a black woman has a different way of problems solving is lying. She doesn't. She's human like the rest of us. A man from Sudan will jury rig the same solutions to his problems as a man from Bolivia if he is given the same tools or is in the same environment.
I'll agree that there's a degree of genetics at play, but I'm a strong supporter of the idea that culture drives a large portion of behavior. Have you seen what passes for black culture in the U.S.? Awful stuff, I can't imagine the state of my mind if I had been raised on that. One could argue that only a lost cause would willingly remain under the influence of a destructive culture, but I was a kid once and know there's only so much agency you can expect until a certain point in maturity is reached. More simply, no one can be expected to choose a better option unless the subject actually understands that they can choose.
It gets difficult to decipher the cultural influence web when it comes to figuring out why so many whites want to kneel, so I understand that it's an unattractive stance to a lot of people. An oversimplification is that we have multiple cultures at work that support the idea of "the strong must serve the weak".
