Does an African American have a lower IQ score because of genetics?

or is a social/political/economic condition perpetuated by the US since the 1700's that basically considers Blacks 2nd class status in everything from how they should be educated to where/how they can or cannot vote?

Actually, a black man who has risen to the point where he is as equally qualified as a white man is someone who is probably actually smarter and harder working then his white counterpart, because you can be sure he had to work a lot harder to get where he is and had to overcome a lot more things like bigotry and blind ignorance.

IQ is less important then drive and resolve anyways - I'd give the job to the African-American.
