Is the IQ gap between blacks and whites getting narrower?

Not according to Half Sigma:
As you should know if you follow HBD blogs, we suspect that the “gap” between blacks and whites has narrowed because it’s not being measured properly. For example, instead of using standard deviations to measure the distance they use raw test scores, and the appearance of a narrowing gap can be created by making the tests easier. As well as downright cheating by schools in black neighborhoods.
