U can’t possibly say what I want about this and keep it short, but I”ll try anyway. I’ll sketch the bare outlines and if you want you can fill in the details.
The US race problem comes entirely from insufficient miscegenation. If we mixed things up sufficiently we’d have no separate races in 2 generations. But we haven’t, yet.
Consider Gause’s Law. Populations that don’t mix are like separate species, they won’t stably fill the same niches. The alternative to one population going away is a caste system—guarantee that each race has niches that are theirs alone, that they have a guaranteed place in the society.
The developing US caste strategy was abandoned for one that officially lets anyone compete for anything. We have to claim that the competition is fair, or equality is a sham.
In reality, africans have far more genetic diversity than anyone else. Without detailed information it would seem to follow that they’d have more variability in intelligence, and in anything else that hasn’t been intensely selected. And also in traits that have been selected; a diverse population will tend to find multiple solutions to challenges.
Within a single breeding population, inequalities tend to average out. If you cheat me in a land deal, maybe my grandson marries your granddaughter and it’s all in the family. In 5 generations there’s more chance for that, in 10 generations it’s likely. If one of my ancestors cheated another of them, he shouldn’t have done that but it doesn’t mean much to me. Between separate populations the outrage tends to build up. If you cheat me and get the advantages at compound interest, my great-great-grandchildren just have it worse. It’s predictable we’ll have problems when separate populations interact too much.
