Me too. Little Black Sambo was featured prominently in the decor and on the menus.

Wow. There’s some real racism in that link. It is true that raw IQ scores are lower, on average, in blacks, than whites, and it is true that that means at the upper tail end there will be proportionately more genius level whites than blacks (and even more Asians) but I doubt it’s a thousand to one.
It may be true that evolutionary genetics plays a role in behavior and IQ but there are a lot of complex reasons why Africa hasn’t developed like other continents. One very large reason is Africa, compared to Europe, has very few good ports and navigable rivers. It was impossible for technology and higher civilization to develop there the way it did in Europe, largely due to geography. It’s also argued that a cold climate requires higher intelligence to survive. Equatorial jungles supply everything you need to live without having to deal with killing cold and a long winter of nothing growing.
People also evolve along with the foodstuffs in their environment. When we forcibly moved Africans to temperate zones, and fed them European/American diets heavy in grains, this was not the optimal diet for equatorial races and in my opinion contributes to black underperformance on IQ tests to this day. Removing them to higher latitudes reduces their vitamin D absorption and there are no doubt other impacts of not living on your own ancestral lands. It’s true for whites also, we don’t do well in the jungle. We get malaria to which blacks have evolved greater resistance.
There are probably other factors I’m not thinking of at the moment. But the reality is that blacks and whites are more alike than different and these IQ average differences mean nothing when it comes to individuals. Thomas Sowell is absolutely genius. The worst thing we can do is write off black kids as having no potential and for example cancel advanced classes in schools because “racism”.
People migrate in modern times very fast, not slowly like 500,000 years ago, giving us time to adapt. But adapt we eventually will, mostly through interracial mixing. Exchanging genes is the best way to share evolutionary advantages with each other.
