Doesn't that say more about resources and culture than genetics(Maybe genetics play a part in establishing better culture). A better best would be to compare genetic blacks in america or europe with the average IQ in those areas.
They have done that too. From what I can find, American blacks have an IQ around 85. Anecdotally it seems about right. But they also have around 25-30% European genes, so:
0,25 European (100) + 0,75 West African (70) = 77,5
I think it's too easy to claim that the little disparity here (85 vs. 77,5) is because of culture. The presumption should be that genes determine intellectual capacity. There could be a hybrid effect that we don't know about. The underlying assumptions could be off (maybe the Europeans who bred with Africans were more intelligent than the norm). Also keep in mind that living in a white Christian civilization over time has a civilizing (eugenic) effect on people, provided that evil people are dealt with properly.
