One smart black guy doesn't change most black people are dumb.

The fact that the gap between the average IQ scores of groups of black and white people in the United States is closing shows that the gap is not due to genetic differences between the races.

(Quite apart from it being evolutionarily implausible that there would be different selection pressures in different continents strong enough to differentiate IQ, while applying across those entire continents, each with hugely different environments, and across cultural boundaries within those continents).

Bold claim that is not supported by any evidence

Black Americans Reduce the Racial IQ Gap: Evidence from Standardization Samples

There’s still no good reason to believe black-white IQ differences are due to genes

Combining our estimates with results in prior literature, we show that a simple model with assortative mating fits our data well, implying that differences in children's environments between racial groups can fully explain gaps in intelligence.

Look at your sources

Find better sources if you want me to engage with you on this

Two thirds of those sources are peer-reviewed papers from the scholarly literature.

Could you describe what a better source is?

Alt Hype or Sean Last probably have decent posts about this, from them you should be able to find studies, its a few years ago since I looked into this subject but there is nothing new under the sun

In what way are they better than peer reviewed scholarly literature?

The quality of their work is better and they do meta analysis of studies
