Anecdotal evidence of smart black men is unimportant when millions of kids are at issue. I could add to your list Walter Williams and Thomas Sowell, both of whom I think are brilliant. But, that simply doesn’t matter to the question of an entire population having a mean IQ that is many points below 100, and the subject at hand is academic achievement. Good parenting can no more make millions of 70-IQ kids graduate high school than it can make millions of 100-IQ kids master calculus.
A large factor in a person’s IQ is mental stimulation while young. If these same kids were raised in different homes their IQ would be different.
