It's true that at the end of the day, it's a matter of preference. Maybe being hunter-gatherers is the real meaning of life and they're completely right.
But I don't like hunter gunthering. I like spaceships, supercars, videogames and philosophizing about the nature of reality. I don't want to be "one with mother nature".
Doesn't necessarily mean they are inferior objectively, but they are inferior in the eyes of any white person. This added to the fact that negroes were probably happier in their little tribal societies is evidence that they don't belong in ours.

No, I'm not claiming that IQ tests are the be all end all of intelligence measures. They are a way to quantify intelligence, but there are many different manifestations of intelligence.
When discussing racial differences, yes, looking at IQ helps. But you can also look at the historical record. The easiest comparison is between Europeans and Africans, because the difference is so stark. By the time Europeans started the first wave of colonialism and began enslaving Africans, they had developed technology capable of traversing the world's oceans, developed stable civilizations with civil and structural engineering marvels far beyond that of Africans, and had a written corpus of knowledge that transmitted (despite periods of censorship/destruction) information beyond the bounds of a single tribe and through the passage of time. In other words, before Europeans started "holding Africans back," we had already built the Colosseum, the gothic cathedrals, the Roman aqueducts. We had Homer, Aeschylus, Livy, Plutarch, Aquinas, Dante. Inklings of the ideas of "human rights," beginnings of dramatic performance, and developments in mathematics and philosophy were all 2000 years old at that point.
By comparison, think of the civilizational achievements of sub Saharan Africans by that point. They are very few and very far between. The contrast is apparent.
Again, this doesn't equate to Hate. We're taught when we're young (at least here in the states) that thinking any negative thoughts about blacks is tantamount to stringing them up from trees. This fear shuts down most brains and causes people to ignore the obvious evidence in front of their eyes, choosing instead to have their worldview shaped by the ideology currently in control of the educational system and the centralized media companies.
