IQ disparity is mostly genetic.
Meaning if you put people in a similar context with similar opportunities, the IQ gap never goes away.
This disparity gets an added multiplier because low-IQ people create a context and "opportunities" to drag an already low IQ beneath its potential.
This is why black kids in an overwhelmingly White school perform much better than black kids in "diverse" schools.
but still perform worse than the white kids
Correct, much worse.
Still doesn't disprove Sowell's claim.
