Once controls for racial inequalities in parents' wealth (blacks have a little more than 1/10th as whites), the correlated inequalities in school quality, differences in parents' educational attainment, differences in teachers' subconscious expectations, the effect of racist peer expectation in segregated schools, differences in peer groups which result from the post WWII residential segregation (most so called middle class black kids attending segregated schools in which there is a heavy concentration of poor kids and children of functionally illiterate parents--again the result of a few hundred years of racism), internalized racism and self doubt--once all this is taken into account--blacks clearly outperform whites on so called intellectual tests. Were blacks genetically inferior, the gap should be bigger than it in fact is. The evidence points to black genetic superiority. Or perhaps we should just conclude that the middle position is true--neither blacks nor whites are a genetically superior race. It's a sign of racism though that the thesis of black genetic superiority is not considered with the same seriousness as the reverse thesis. Both are scientifically laughable of course...and repellant.
