Can you tell me why it is believed that African Americans generally have a lower IQ than other groups
<|assistant|>
It is believed that African Americans generally have a lower IQ than other groups due to various factors such as poverty, racism, and lack of educational opportunities. These factors create an environment in which African Americans may not reach their potential for intelligence, leading to lower average IQ scores when compared to other racial or ethnic groups.
