So you concede that the IQ test measures that type of knowledge that, on average, leads to higher earnings.

Even if, at eighteen, Bill was capable of learning as fast at John it would take him years to learn the useful stuff that John had learned by the time John was just eighteen. And by that time John is working at MIT teaching math. And Bill still has to go through college before he even gets a decent paying job.

Smart people, on average, are better educated than dumb people. Smart educated people, on average, earn more than dumb uneducated people. Because White people are, on average, more intelligent than Black people, their average earnings are higher than Blacks, not because of "White Privilege."

My opinion is that most, if not all, of the gap between the average White and Black IQ is due to the culture the child was raised in, not his genetics.
