We -could- solve it....but then again, black poverty is inevitable so why would we waste our time. They should stop being lazy and Git Productive - that would fix everything. I said bale that cotton boy, not hug it.
We could go even further down the rabit hole, though, and point out that even saying "race and iq" is ignorant from the outset..it flew 70 years ago but now we talk about genetics and IQ, and the funny thing about that is that race is kind of silly in context.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
