No he fucking does not lmao.
People's gripe with Lynn is that in estimating the average IQ of sub-Saharan Africa, he included studies of people who are developmentally disabled, people who didn't even understand the test, people with HIV, parasites, malaria, etc.
His main critic in this regard was Jelte Wicherts, and Wicherts estimated that instead of Lynn's estimate of 70, the actual IQ of sub-saharan blacks was about 80. Lynn responded that to exclude those studies was in effect to exclude the problems of africa, and they went back and forth like that for awhile. However, we know that international test scores like pic related point to a median IQ of 74 (for international students, the "upper crust" of sub-saharan africa) so Lynn's numbers are not implausible at all.
Jfc if you have a problem with lynn just use Wicherts' criticism, don't make Lynn out to be some racist boogeyman who doesn't follow the scientific method.
