I agree more or less. I think IQ is important only when we take the context into consideration and I'm skeptical that it's only racially derived, there's a lot of variation influencing concepts as vague as ''intelligence''. I'm pretty sure the average non-mixed German-Brazilian that is totally acculturated in Brazil is dumber than Germans from Germany.

From a racial standpoint, one prominent feature of Bermuda’s political
economy today seems to be black political rule and non-black
economic dominance. Although now governed by leaders who reflect its
54 percent black majority, Bermuda’s white (31 percent) and non-black16
inhabitants (15 percent) dominate the economy. This is reflected in the
skewed racial profiles of almost all major occupations, as Chart 1 shows.
---------------------------------------------------------
Looking across the economy, these features seem consistent: racial divergence in incomes, along with white Bermudians and non-Bermudians
disproportionately earning higher incomes than blacks. Whites earn about
134 percent of the median wage; blacks earn about 93 percent, and other
groups, 87 percent.24 These disparities have been evident even in
professional fields where blacks predominate. For instance, in 2007, more
than 80 percent of the jobs in public administration were held by blacks25
yet they did not have the lion’s share of higher-paying positions, and
earned about $10,000 less than whites on average.26 Earnings disparities
like these seemed to lead many black Bermudians to feel that the
employment arena is not a meritocracy. One prominent black professional
offered this observation:
“Statistics about the workforce show that whites with no formal qualifications
at all earn $25,000 more than blacks with a college degree. Many people
don’t accept this statistic as an indicator of racial inequality. Instead
they claim that the whites might have had more experience or that the
black person’s degree might be from an inferior institution. This is an
example of why it is so hard to have good dialogue about race in
Bermuda today.”
------------------------------------------------------
Disparities in School Achievement
Public education in Bermuda is a stark portrait in black and white. Schools
here were desegregated in 1965, but today over 90 percent black students
attend government-supported public schools, and 90 percent of white
students attend privately-funded schools.
-----------------------------------------
Higher Education
In the aggregate, significantly higher numbers of black Bermudians hold
post-secondary qualifications. Almost 4,000 blacks hold college degrees and
another 5,000 possess technical, vocational, or associational certificates; for
white Bermudians, the totals are about 3,000 and 2,000 respectively.
37 But
more than half of all white non-Bermudians hold at least a college degree,
so when expatriate whites are taken into account, black Bermudian
college graduates are significantly outnumbered by whites on the island
----------------------------------------------
Despite these positive developments, criminal justice patterns and outcomes
in Bermuda continue to be skewed racially. Roughly 98 per cent of prison
inmates are black, which translates into an incarceration rate of approximately
148 out of every 10,000 black males.46 When foreign prisoners are
excluded, this level drops somewhat, but not enough to change
Bermuda’s statistical profile as one of the world’s most punitive societies.

Bermuda is a small island where only 60000 people live, it's an offshore paradise and a tourism destination. Do you really think that 54% of the population of Bermuda is living in the same conditions of Haitians?
The Bahamas (where 93% of the population is Black people), which has little more than 300,000 people is more developed than your region (Southern Brazil). Botswana in the near decades will surpass Brazil in most economic/social-economic indicators and ratios. Why? Economic Liberalism, once Botswana started to adopt Economic Liberalism in the last 30/40 years it had one of the most exponential economic growths in the world and now is even a better place to live than let's say, 7% White South Africa, where 20% of the population is not full black (Mulattoes, Whites and Indians mostly).

Botswana and Bahamas are countries ruled by an small minority of whites that control most of the richness of both countries.
If they weren´t, both countries would be as all full-black countries.

Al margen de la ley: la vida en uno de los últimos barrios clandestinos de Lisboa
El fotógrafo José Ferreira pasó un año documentando la vida de los traficantes y las familias que viven en uno de los últimos barrios clandestinos que resisten a las puertas de Lisboa.
A poco más de cinco kilómetros de Lisboa, donde el turismo avanza a velocidades nunca vistas, el barrio de 6 de Maio, en el municipio de Amadora, languidece en una cuenta atrás hasta que, en cuestión de pocos meses, no quede de él más que el recuerdo. Una realidad a kilómetros de distancia de uno de los destinos turísticos más deseados del mundo y que atrae a millones de visitantes al año. Pero también una realidad a kilómetros de distancia de un país que le cierra los ojos con una mezcla de vergüenza, repudio e incredulidad.
Estigmatizado durante muchos años, mitificado a lo largo de las décadas como "el lugar en el que ni la policía entra" (https://www.publico.pt/2011/09/04/lo...63#gs.nxaI2LkN) , el barrio 6 de Maio empezó a ser desmantelado en 2016 en un proceso de desalojos, polémicos realojamientos, redadas policiales frecuentes e intentos activistas de impedir lo inevitable. Un proceso que se dilata y que ha servido para poner todavía más de manifiesto los problemas de una comunidad en su mayoría compuesta por caboverdianos que quisieron intentar iniciar una nueva vida en el Portugal de ultramar entre finales de los años 70 y principios de los 80. Un gueto a las puertas de Lisboa en el que, más que vivir, todos intentan sobrevivir, algunos de la única forma que saben: al margen de la ley.
La imagen que presenta hoy el barrio parece salida de una zona de guerra: edificios ruinosos en precario equilibrio que durante más de 30 años sirvieron como viviendas temporales y constantes demoliciones realizadas para limpiar, homogeneizar e integrar el barrio a un Portugal cada vez más europeo. “En este escenario, muchos sobreviven como pueden y de la única manera que saben, mientras ahí fuera el progreso sigue avanzando. Aquí hacen del tráfico de drogas duras, la prostitución y las armas su modo de sustento, siempre bajo la mirada atenta de las autoridades, que poco más pueden hacer además de mirar para otro lado y, de vez en cuando, llevar a cabo redadas cosméticas de control y para, creo yo, prevenir que la cosa se extienda a otras zonas de la ciudad”. Mantener el gueto en el gueto.
