But that's exactly what you just described, just not absolutely. For whites with an average IQ of 100 it goes down. If those Black Americans mated with those Africans it would likely go down even further, wouldn't it?

For whites with an average IQ of 100 it goes down.

A mixed individual simply takes genes from both parents. It's not like genes for intelligence from the white parent just don't "fit" or anything. Since it's random what genes are chosen a mixed individual could probably, for instance, still lean more towards the white side in terms of intelligence but have darker skin from their black parent.

You're starting from a point where one part of that equation is already mixed and would theoretically be more compatible. I suppose what I'm hypothesizing about would be with a "pure" European mixing with a "pure" African, or any other combination of unmixed. Do you know of any studies that did an analysis like that?
