Inherent inequality is a white supremacist belief. I won't be listening to white supremacist suggestions about how to help the black community. DEI hasn't lowered anything and it is a racist assumption that whites are always the most qualified. IQ tests have been shown to be inaccurate measures of intelligence because there are several different types of intelligence, so again, all you're posting is white racist gibberish. Whites do not have what they do because they made education a priority.
I didn't say that whites are always the most qualified. I'm guessing you assumed I meant that because of the overrepresentation you mentioned earlier, but there's another factor to consider. When it comes to who applies for various jobs, applicants for a given position aren't typically going to be exactly representative of the general population.
If 10 white people apply for a job but only 1 black person does, then there's a high likelihood that job will be filled by a white person rather than the one black person that applied, assuming all applicants are similar in qualifications.
But if we're going to decry overrepresentation, should NBA teams be required to put more whites or Asians on their rosters? Is it a problem that blacks make up 70% of players despite being only 14% of the population? I don't see it as a problem, but I guess it is if we're going with your logic.
As far as IQ tests go, they do measure mathematical/logical intelligence quite well. I subscribe to the 8 intelligences theory that Howard Gardner proposed, however. There is a bodily-kinesthetic intelligence, for example. This helps to explain why blacks tend to dominate certain sports. A high percentage of blacks are physically gifted. While the dedication many blacks place towards sports helps them rise to the pro level, a certain amount of raw talent and ability is required to reach that level. For example, I could have spent equally as much time and effort as LeBron James at basketball, and there's still no way I'd reach the NBA, because I wasn't born with the physical ability he has. This isn't exclusive to black people, but there's a higher prevalence of it among blacks than among whites.
By the same token, I don't have the IQ level to reach the level of understanding about astrophysics that Stephen Hawking had. Even if I had studied that topic as long as Hawking did, my potential isn't as high as his was.
The point I'm getting at is that people need to realize there are limits to potential in various facets of our lives that aren't within our control. They aren't the result of a system, and they aren't a matter of discrimination. The best you can do is play to your strengths.

You didn't mention the other parts of the article. It showed that education increases the earning potential of blacks more than it does for whites.
Whites excluded everyone else but themselves and the government gave whites the conservative estimated equivalent of more than 100 trillion dollars in economic assistance from the beginning up until 60 years ago. That's how whites have what they do.
$100 trillion dollars? I'm gonna need a source for that...
