Isn't the core conceit of The Bell Curve that Black people have lower IQs than white people?

It's not the core conceit. Black/white IQ differences were discussed in one chapter. The core conceit is that IQ is real, and it really matters for life outcomes.

This is true in every representative sample of iq test scores (or proxies for iq) in the USA. The debate is over what causes this difference.
