The idea that there is a fixed genetic difference in intelligence between racial groups isn't supported by scientific consensus. 

While some studies in the past observed average gaps in IQ scores between Black and White Americans, most researchers attribute these differences to *environmental and social factors*—like education, income, and historical inequalities—and not to genetics. 

Decades of research show the IQ gap has narrowed significantly over time as conditions have improved, further strengthening the case that these differences are malleable and not hardwired. 

Direct claims that one racial group is "genetically less capable" aren't backed by genetic evidence and are widely rejected by specialists in genetics and psychology.
