too many times people will ignore what people are saying, and argue semantics, when their isn't an ongoing semantic debate.

Black people on the boards?
Forest Whitaker and Neil DeGrasse Tyson are actually esteemed members of our community here at the Shroomery but they don't like to reveal their true persona's because they don't want the wrong kind of attention here or the unnecessary publicity associated with a forum such as this, which is understandable.
So try to respect their wishes and don't ask them who they are if you have any suspicions as to who they might be.
Doesn't keep you from guessing, though.

People have such a hard time dealing with the fact that racial differences are more than skin deep. Asians and jews have higher average IQs than europeans, europeans have higher average IQs than blacks, blacks have higher average IQs than Straya'n aboriginals. Intelligence has a heavy influence on behavior and correlates with cultural and societal advancement. Deal with it. There is more to life and society than intelligence, and averages say nothing about the individual, but blinding oneself to differences between races is ignorant and intellectually dishonest.
That's a ridiculous thing to say. There are way more factors that go into why people have higher IQs than race, which probably has nothing to do with it. Social oppression could be a reason for statistics that you quote if you even have any. Having said that, you are the ignorant one giving way to a society that is just as oblivious as it was in its yesteryears. Aside from that how does one even define race? By a set of features in one's appearance?
How could you say race has any significant role in a society that is interracial? Especially as generations progress.
I'm not saying that there aren't other factors to IQ than race, or even that IQ is genetically determined by race, simply that ignoring race or arguing definition semantics is ignorance for the sake of political correctness. Yes race is generally defined as physical features and skin pigmentation. Whether you want to break it down to black, white, asian, etc or negroid, caucasoid, monogloid etc is irrelevant.
If you don't recognize the role that race plays in our interracial society you must be quite inexperienced with the workings of the world. I can say it has a significant role because I'm not. Race is a strong indicator of political leanings, religious beliefs, consumer trends, housing values, crime rates, quality of educational facilities, etc, even when taking socioeconomic factors into account.
Averages don't tell you everything you need to know about a person or a group of people, but pretending that they don't tell you anything is foolish.

As far as anyone knows the issues you brought up are cultural: black man born in inner-city Detroit vs the same man brought up in an upper class suburb.
Same race and different cultures, the statistical differences could be attributed to gentrification and similar issues. As far as I've seen there's no reason to believe race is anything more than skin deep or social, the social aspect being mostly the effects of white elitism.
It would be fitting to see some peer-reviewed sources outlining (an) argument(s) for race differences which go further than that, but personally I already have reservations. As a trained musician in Classical/Jazz/etc I've seen no difference in my field between the capabilities of various races, in music (which depending on the genre, combines many different mental factors) there is no difference between races. The personal significance of that observation is telling (for me, relative to my own observation).

It's that ideology that makes "race" realistic. Because people believe this and simply accept it, cultural constructions result from it and form around these ridiculous claims. People actually believe it and think that its an innate thing when race has nothing to do with anything more than your appearance.
I'm not saying I don't believe that world is affected by these constructions, I'm saying that race and all the connotations we put on them is not realistic.
Race isn't real. Racism is. It's foolish to not recognize that.
