"Starting with the widespread use of standardized mental tests in the U.S. during World War I (1917), average ethnic and racial group differences have been found. Especially vexing has been the cause(s) of the 15- to 18-point IQ difference (1.0 to 1.1 standard deviations, SDs) between Blacks and Whites." (p. 9)

...

"Currently, the magnitude of the U.S. Black-White IQ difference is not in itself a major cause of scientific dispute. A recent meta-analytic review by Roth et al. [9] yielded a 1.1 SD difference (range = 0.38 to 1.46) for a total of 6,246,729 testees from corporate, military, and higher education samples." (p. 10)

...

"An IQ of 71 was found for the Black children in an entire school district from a rural county in Georgia in the U. S. Deep South; the White IQ in the same county was 101 [30]."

It's because these tests were made by whites. It's institutionalized racism bro.

I do not know what IQ test they were given, but the WISC-IV is the most standardized, IQ test used across the country. A score of 71 is Borderline (70-79 is borderline). A score of 90-109 is Average. I believe 68% of the population falls in the Average range. 71 seems extremely low. Hmmmm.

Borderline Intellectual Functioning: IQ 71-84
Mild Mental Retardation: IQ 50-55 to approximately 70

However, the OP posted very old statistics, so it may not apply to the current IQ testing and intellectual levels. I do not know if it transfers over to today's IQ testing.

It's because these tests were made by whites. It's institutionalized racism bro.

The basis of the report is something called The Flynn Effect, the fact that IQs have dramatically risen in the developed world  over the last few decades. In America, it's been 18 points between 1947-2002.

Do you think American brains have made such drastic genetic changes in 50 years?

Lol, of course, don't you read the intellectual things written on Facebook?

Well, if the blacks are not smart enough to make the "team" not my fault there aren't any in the labs bud...

black people are weak, cowardly, stupid and pathetic, literally the lowest race on this planet, they have achieved nothing in the time that they've existed for and are only still here because of the fact that they leech off of the white man

almost every country outside of the west and africa despises blacks because they know perfectly well how they really act and how they destroy entire cities and turn countries into cesspits, even che guevara (a renowned left wing girl) was quoted as saying "The black is indolent and a dreamer; spending his meager wage on frivolity or drink; the European has a tradition of work and saving, which has pursued him as far as this corner of America and drives him to advance himself, even independently of his own individual aspirations."

here's some facts about black people

Facts from the FBI and Department of Justice on blacks in America:
Blacks commit 56% of all robbery, despite only 12% of the population. Source: http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/crime-in-the-u.s/2013/crime-in-the-u.s.-2013/tables/table-43

Some facts on the family dynamic and education achievement of blacks in America:
73% of black babies are born out of wedlock. Source: http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvsr/nvsr61/nvsr61_01.pdf
67% of black children grow up without a father, compared to 25% for whites and only 17% for Asians. Source: http://datacenter.kidscount.org/data/tables/107-children-in-single-parent-families-by#detailed/1/any/false/868,867,133,38,35/10,168,9,12,1,13,185/432,431
In 2012, the mean critical reading SAT score for college accepted students was 428 for blacks and 527 for whites. For mathematics, it was 428 for blacks and 536 for whites. For writing it was 417 for blacks and 515 for whites. Source: http://nces.ed.gov/fastfacts/display.asp?id=171
At both the grade 4 and grade 8 level, there is a persistent achievement gap between whites and blacks in both mathematics test scores and reading test scores in ALL states. Source: http://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard/pdf/studies/2009495.pdf
Some facts on intelligence levels of blacks:
1) Whites on average have a 15 point higher IQ than blacks, across many different studies.
> “There is a long-standing 15 point or 1 standard deviation difference between the intelligence test scores of African Americans and White Americans, though it might have narrowed slightly in the then recent years. The difference was largest on those tests, verbal or non-verbal, that best represented the general intelligence factor (g).”
Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligence:_Knowns_and_Unknowns
2) IQ across different ethnic groups in the US: Blacks have an average IQ of 85, whites of 103, Asians 106 and Jewish Americans 113:
>The study found that the average IQ for African Americans was lower than those for Latino, White, Asian, and Jewish Americans (85, 89, 103, 106, and 113, respectively; Herrnstein & Murray, 1994, pp. 273–278)
Source: http://psychology.uwo.ca/faculty/rushtonpdfs/pppl1.pdf
3) Overall, 18% of Asians have an IQ over 120, 10% of whites do and only 1% of blacks. Nearly 84% of blacks have an IQ below 100, which is slightly below the average IQ for whites. The ratio of white Americans to black Americans who have an IQ over 125 is 30:1.
>The IQ gap between blacks and whites in the United States—15-17 points—has not changed since it was first measured nearly a century ago. Both races’ test scores rose during the century, but the gap remained as large at the end of the century as at the beginning despite considerable social change.

4) For those who claim that IQ tests are biased against blacks and that’s why they keep getting lower scores, there are IQ tests like the Raven’s Progressive Matrices which don’t have any language and rely entirely on visual pattern recognition. It’s simply finding patterns in visual shapes. Even then there is a marked difference between black and white IQ scores, not only in America but internationally as well, like in Africa between white and black engineering students:
Source: http://psychology.uwo.ca/faculty/rushtonpdfs/ravensiii.pdf
5) Harvard psychologists took a look at how black children adopted by well off upper-middle class white families at a very young age perform on IQ tests once they grow up in white families with good socioeconomic conditions. Black children adopted by white parents average 89 on IQ tests at age 17 (slightly better than the 85 average for blacks nationally). White children who grew up in the same households and had white biological parents on average scored 109. Even with the same socioeconomic upbringing, the racial IQ gap remains.
>The Minnesota Transracial Adoption Study examined the IQ test scores of 130 black or interracial children adopted by advantaged white families. The aim of the study was to determine the contribution of environmental and genetic factors to the poor performance of black children on IQ tests as compared to white children. The studies’ general findings were that the IQs of children of a particular race did not differ significantly depending on whether they were raised by their biological parents or by adoptive parents of a different race. The gap between black and white IQ scores remained even if growing up in the same family.

6) East Asian countries have on average the highest IQ scores. African countries have on average the lowest. European countries are generally between the Asian and African countries.

7) Blacks performs substantially worse in standard school tests than whites.
> From the higher education achievement perspective: In 2012, the mean critical reading SAT score for college accepted students was 428 for blacks and 527 for whites. For mathematics, it was 428 for blacks and 536 for whites. For writing it was 417 for blacks and 515 for whites.

Cool From the elementary education achievement perspective: At both the grade 4 and grade 8 level, there is a persistent achievement gap between whites and blacks in both mathematics test scores and reading test scores in ALL states.
Source: http://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard/pdf/studies/2009495.pdf
9) For those looking to pin the lower IQ scores of blacks on socioeconomic factors, IQ is largely genetically determined:
> Estimates in the academic research of the heritability of IQ have varied from below 0.5 to a high of 0.8. (where 1.0 indicates that monozygotic twins have no variance in IQ and 0 indicates that their IQs are completely uncorrelated) Various studies have found the heritability of IQ to be between 0.7 and 0.8 in adults and 0.45 in childhood in the United States.[6][9][18]
