Did black slaves have a low genetic potential for IQ?

No.

If we could have tested for IQ before and after they gained access to education, I suspect we’d have seen an IQ increase after education. It’s common sense.

More folks have access to knowledge these days so they are coming closer to reaching their full, inherited, potential. This is reflected in higher IQ scores.

(And homosexuality is still dysfunctional sexuality, PERIOD - so don’t even try to go there.)

[The problem we now face is the low level of scholarship and the overwhelming presence of propaganda, violence and pornography into these media.]
 
That's been a problem for a while now; as evidenced by Richard Nixon's comments regarding Homosexuality and TV over 30 years ago.

I am not endorsing Richard Nixon’s particular form of discussion. I am speaking of the media in general — violence, smut, narcissism, sensationalism and sheer stupidity.

Nixon would have agreed with you.
