Except the Bell Curve it's bullshit. I'm from Europe (Spain), and even the Francoists said otherwise. Right wing people further than Pether Thiel itself. Go figure.

A nun, some woman (women are far more aware than men on emotions as their hormones basically grant an A+ on social skills) stated that Black People weren't dumb, but African people had no tradition at all on stimulating or paying good attention babies/toddlers as the Western mom do with little plays and the like. That lead to mild development issues. She followed some children with more Western-like educations and caring and they got far better marks than the ones locked to their cultures.

Add a far better nutrition on top and now you know the reasons on why the Black African countries are underdeveloped. Westernize them and their IQ will boost like crazy.

Black people whose ancestors have lived in the united states for generations also have systematically lower IQs than east Asians, and this is in fact highly politically relevant in the united states - it's part of the conditions that lead to there being conspicuously few black people doing all sorts of human endeavors that select for high intelligence, and that engender political demand for race-based affirmative action programs to get more people classified as black to do those things.

Which is an SES effect; SES effects are all generally "highly politically relevant".
