To just discuss the IQ aspect of race is too limited because the various races exhibit differences across the entire spectrum of psychological qualities. IQ is just one quality or attribute, and is probably not the most important.
That is, it is not just a low average IQ that makes Blacks impossible to live with. Other big problems with Blacks include their "high time preference" as it is called (essentially, their fecklessness about future outcomes) and their great proclivity for violence.
The violence is the worst problem of all.
We can all agree that stupid people are not necessarily bad people. But violent and selfish and entirely uncivic-minded people are bad. And we need to do something about them because we simply can't live with them as they are.

This is a very crucial point.
The entire panoply of our genetic traits contributes to our diversity, and diverging interests.
The benefits of IQ, and why it stands out, amount to three reasons:
It is fundamental inasmuch as it relates to the ability to engage in complex thought, a requirement for participation in complex societies.
It is easily measured, with easily administered methods.
There is a wealth of verified data available, spanning generations.
