Once again, because Blacks, and many other groups have virtually no science Nobel Prizes that they can boast of, it must be due to racism. It has nothing to do with the fact that they just haven't done any work that's actually worth the merit of getting a prize. It's because the Nobel committee purposefully keeps Blacks, and many others down. Their shortcomings are always someone else's fault.
"
Of 931 individuals and 28 organizations to have won the prize since the awards began, just 16 are Black. No Black winners were named in 2020.
Twelve Black people have won the Peace Prize, three the Nobel Prize in Literature, and one the associated Prize in Economics awarded by Sweden's central bank in Alfred Nobel's honor. No Black recipients have ever won one of the science prizes."

"The problems start right at the beginning in economic, schooling, bias," Marc Zimmer, a chemistry professor at Connecticut College told CNN. "Starting in elementary school.
"I think the problem really with the lack of racial diversity is not a problem of the Nobel awards, rather that's more a societal systemic problem."
A lack of diversity in science can lead to a lack of information about certain demographics, he added. "To do real good science we need everybody's input, not just 30, 40% of the population."

"I think that what matters is who is nominating, and who's in the room," said Patricia Matthew, an associate professor of English at Montclair State University, who has written about race diversity in higher education and popular culture. "I also think part of the challenge is not understanding or appreciating the impact of the work that Black, African, people of African descent, the impact of their work globally."

I think the problem starts due to race differences in average intelligence. Some races have higher average intelligence than others, making it more likely that some of its members have very high IQ, along with other traits such as diligence, and perhaps a hint of psychopathic personality that is conducive towards creative achievement. Blacks, and many other races tend not to win these prizes because they often don't have the intelligence, and creativity requisite to make such achievement. But it's interesting how once again it's blamed on someone else.
