Actually black overperformance on IQ tests given the disadvantages of wealth poverty and persistent racism suggests, if anything, black genetic superiority; so the best way to improve the gene pool may be national miscegenation with blacks. Or maybe Jewish and Black child-bearing should be supported by a tax credit (those nubile gentile daughters may not be the best eugenic move, though it is not clear to me why you assume so)? More seriously, only 2% of black women marry out, about 20x less the rate of any other so-called ethno-racial group. This may be a very important reason for the wealth poverty of Afro-Americans (though it is not considered even by Oliver and Shapiro); moreover, those non-blacks who do marry out may be disinherited, while the children with more than that one drop will be counted as black and thus bring no more wealth into the black community. To the extent that marriage and discriminatory inheritance practices are not a policy variable, they tend not be considered by the policy-relevant social sciences as an explanation for unequal wealth distribution.
