It doesn't really matter whether you give credence to IQ testing or not.
Oh yes, it does. It points the finger at whose policies are to blame for the reversal of improving fortunes for certain communities in the US.
If you do: It's clear that african americans have been marginalized, seeing as the results are separate from ethnicity as proven by the earlier study.
If you study immigrant and ethnically/culturally separate communities all around the world and all across history, two clear patterns show through. 1) Often a minority group's leaders keep their group culturally isolated to keep their local power. 2) Economic success of a minority group is linked to the degree of assimilation and integration into economic and cultural life of the surrounding culture.
The pattern across history is often that groups marginalize themselves.
It's against the narrative of the right as their platform is behind almost all of the marginalization of african americans.

Many african americans would disagree.
