"African Americans score lower than European Americans on vocabulary, reading, and math tests, as well as on tests that claim to measure scholastic aptitude and intelligence. The gap appears before children enter kindergarten and it persists into adulthood. It has narrowed since 1970, but the typical American black still scores below 75 percent of American whites on almost every standardized test. This statistic does not imply, of course, that all blacks score below all whites. There is a lot of overlap between the two groups. Nonetheless, the test score gap is large enough to have significant social and economic consequences."
Could it be the IQ of the parent (one parent home), the lack of books in the home, the lack of value on education, the parent not working with the child on basics (colors, ABC’s, animal identification and sounds, numbers, etc.-i.e. reliance on the school system to teach), another words socio-economic status (poor prenatal care, drugs and alcohol, poor quality of food during pregnancy-fast food=lack of vitamins/minerals/protein)? All the above, plus the stress of environment (violence, lack of maternal/paternal bonding, etc.)
poverty lack of time for excelling or reading activities,
influence of one parent who is also never there for the kid because food needs to be on the table.... also drugs, way of living 100s of things are influencing and burdening kids
There is something related to natural IQ:
Education Race in Public Policy
Governance Studies

yes I dont want it to be about race, it never is.
