The Flynn effect has only barely decreased the racial IQ gaps, as all races have seen the secular increase, but it still provides an indirect argument against hereditarianism, as a secular rise of three points every ten years is thought to be too quick to happen through genetics, so it must be environmental. That was the old way of thinking, and to this day nobody knows what causes the Flynn effect, but now I think there is now another possibility that needs to be put to the test: epigenetics. Epigenetics accelerates genetic adaptation through environmental triggers, and a highly literate mechanical society is expected to provide those triggers. There have been other highly heritable biological correlates that have also seen secular increases: head size at birth, myopia, and height.
I must disagree--the genes that leave and end up in another country are almost never truly random. This is because the decision to relocate is not random--people who are more confident of their abilities are more willing to take a chance on moving to another place where they have little (it's not uncommon for such relocations to involve a romantic partner) or no support system around them. Emigrants are on average superior to the population from which they come. (And note the corollary--populations which suffer heavy emigration tend to be left with the dregs.)
(Note that slavery is the opposite situation--those being transported as slaves were generally on the losing side of a conflict. Still not random but a smaller effect.)
I think you're right. The normal two routes to great wealth in the US are leadership and being a top performer in a popular form of the arts--and most of the rest of the ultra-rich are the first-generation heirs of such a person.
Like that ^

Decisions to leave are arrived at randomly.
They involve random circumstances. And those that actually make it to the US make it here due to random events.
It is absurd to claim that only high IQ people leave or only high IQ people arrive. It doesn't take a high IQ to know you are unhappy.

Feralphile Fairness Fairies
Slavery saved them from savagery. Unfairness has nothing to do with unequal treatment; it's all about equal people being treated unequally. So if superior players get paid more, there is nothing unfair about that.

Exactly! Well...almost. It's true for all the slaves except the ones who were savagely killed, beaten, removed from their homes, or raped...which I guess is all of them.

It's typical of simple-minded race traitors that they desperately need to think that anyone who opposes them is a neo-Nazi dupe of the ruling class. That goes for American Renaissance, too, without the anti-semitic scapegoat. Both groups seek to offer Whites racial supremacy if we submit to totalitarian Birth-Class Supremacy.

Notice that KKK scabs oppose labor unions. They have a deep inferiority complex towards their bosses and those who were born rich.

A Normal Fate for Africans Was to Become a Lion's Lunch
That was their condition before they were saved from the jungle. And that was just from their own people. Their genetic incompetence in dealing with the natural world made things even worse for them.

There is no such thing as "genetic incompetence".
In any group, it doesn't matter what the average is, there will be some with high "intelligence" and some, like you, with clearly inferior "intelligence".
What a group does has everything to do with random circumstance and environment and nothing to do with average "intelligence".

What crops and other food sources are available has a lot to do with what directions any society can take.
Far more important that this imaginary construct called "IQ".
