No. All races have differences, but no race is "superior" in any meaningful way to others. Success or failure is a thing, and there are and always have been races/ethnic groups who are successful and those who are not. However this is not "superiority", and very, very few people here that I've seen believe it is.

    I guess his argument is that blacks can survive better in a pre-industrial society. If everything were to collapse and we regressed to a state of nature, they'd probably fare better than us. It's like how 60-IQ Bushmen have on average much better spatial awareness than whites (which helps one to survive in a forest) But in the industrial, technological 21st century? Yeah that advantage ceases to matter.
