Blacks are by far the worst in terms of genetics. Hispanics are pretty similar to whites & asians, they just come from worse, more backward cultures in Central/South America. Whites also do badly in bad cultures, if you look at the former Soviet states.
But blacks? Unsalvageable. Just look at what an utter and total shitshow Sub-Saharan Africa is, and even when you take the blacks out of there and put them in rich white countries, they still end up way below everyone else in IQ and other outcomes. If you put in huge effort, you could probably close that gap somewhat, but they'd always act as a drag on everyone else.
This makes no sense, because there is a great amount of... diversity among the genes of different black populations. And even if we accepted all your assumptions, you would still be wrong, because Australian aboriginals unquestionably have a lower average IQ than any other group.
There are very good reasons why sub-Saharan Africa is a shitshow that have little to do with people being black. Same reason the inhabitants of the Canary Islands were at a Stone Age level when the Spanish encountered them: isolation.
IIRC, Blacks have better outcomes in the UK than do whites.
Same as black immigrants to your country. And of course, you can put all sorts of caveats on that - was the immigration a random sample? Probably not. Were the groups who became slaves a random sample? Also no.
Africa wasn't isolated like an island tho. You are literally putting Africans on par with a stone age society. Which is kind of our point. They have had extensive contact from Arab traders, Europeans, other African migrations, Indian traders, Chinese, and even migrations of North Africans and berbers.
Africa suffered from aborted colonisation unlike the Americas. When Europe was colonising Africa, they ran out of money and ressources, and thus bailed after halfway building up infrastructure.
