Your first sentence is a non-sequitur. When did Nature decide that the more well-educated are the fittest?

IQ isn't nature, IQ is a testing system. IQ is essentially a test of whether you have been given a high-quality Western education.

Your second sentence is wrong. People's intelligence vary widely which is why some people can't even answer a hypothetical question and engage in thought experiments.

People's intelligence does vary, but not as much as you think it does. A lot of it, again, is down to education.

Black people suffer in the US because the US has a ton of laws that harm them,

The legal system does not exist in isolation. It is influenced by US society (which is oppressive towards black people).

I am more convinced of Dr James Flynn's arguments than yours regarding IQ because I have gone over some of his work, which contradicts what you are saying. If you point me to some of yours or your sources I'd take a look.
