Nice try, but I'm not the one claiming superiority over anybody. Plus I'm in the inferior group, so I don't even know if I was born with the mental ability to do any of that stuff!

Actually, I believe it could be the opposite. I've read that in any given tribal village in Africa, there is more genetic diversity than in the entire rest of the world. This means blacks would be more likely to produce genetic extremes. Where as the other races would hover closer to average. This is easy to see in an athletic sense. Look how many tall, fast, freakishly athletic blacks there are. Now consider what a small portion of the population they represent. It's phenomenal. I would also assume that we'd find that same tendency towards extremes in intellect too. Perhaps if we investigated this and proved it to be true, it would change how black academics are seen and encourage businesses/academia to scour black communities and countries to find these extreme outliers as we do for sports. This would also expose opportunities for talented but less exceptional people as well.
Am I totally off base here?

Perhaps you are, since you apparently fail to understand the difference between a groups achievement and an individual achievement.
