Not all black people are an underclass. Some, like Somalian immigrants, earn more than whites.
Of course those immigrants self selected for national average and higher IQs.
Others, like the 15% of african americans with IQs above 100 are also well functioning and doing well.
What could be the reason that blacks on average underperform. Hmmmm... What could it be.... What could it possibly be......
Oh yeah maybe it's cause they're whining too much, yeah that must be it, whew glad we found a white pill to swallow - whining too much can be fixed afterall, it's not like the reason is something immutable thank god!
Culture is an expression of biology, otherwise you'd see different cultures for the same ethnicities depending on which country they live in - instead what you see is variations on the same culture.
You're thinking of tradition, which is something that can keep people in line if the structure is strictly hierarchical, but traditions can only be destroyed, they can't really be built or re-instated, because a tradition is something that has evolved in a region over hundreds of years of hierarchical rule. Modernity can not build traditions. Absent a strong tradition a culture will emerge and that culture is going to be a function of genetics and epigenetics.
Chinese-Norwegians are similar to Chinese-Americans, who are similar to the Chinese, and their cultures are similar. Again, where there is no strong tradition to belong to.
French-Americans have similar crime rates to (actual) French people in France.
Italian-Americans have the same rate of engineers, lawyers, and doctors as Italian-Brits, or Italians in Italy.
Other peoples are 8x more likely to commit violent crime in the US, and in the UK? Lo and behold, it's also 8x. In Denmark? Well what do you know. In Africa? Ok it can get much worse than the 8x, but also the IQ gets much worse in countries with malnutrition and actual poverty.

Black culture is a superior explanation to why blacks underperform so much.
Your alternative is to just call them stupid and low IQ, but IQ has been studied extensively and does not explain everything like you claim.
