I'll add a different solution. Lets genetically modify people. We need to select for intelligent, competent, and ambitious black people. There simply aren't enough of them. And because this average leads to other averages, it looks like racism, when it should be seen as mean IQ. You want more black leaders? Get more intelligent black people. That starts with genetic modification.

@Arcanineisthebest I am egalitarian. I think racism is stupid and harmful to all parties involved in it. I would like to see everyone be happy.

You are not born with your IQ in the same way that boys are not born with facial hair. But it is still the genetic traits passed on by your parents that leave you with a high IQ or lots of facial hair. It just takes time to grow into a point of development where high IQ or lots of facial hair occurs. Your statement of not being born with it is misleading. Genetics play the primary role in high IQ. IQ does change over time, and mostly this is genetic as well, such as people being genetically predisposed to dementia. Competent school systems can only do so much. The very high success people were born naturally bright on top of having competent school systems. You need both if you want to be one of the best.

@Arcanineisthebest Twin studies show that you are wrong. Your IQ is your genetic legacy, schools and environment play a MUCH smaller role than your parents do. Not your parents raising you either, its the genes they passed to you that matter most by far. Go look at the twin studies and the adoption studies on IQ. You are simply wrong. Genes matter most.
