The first part says people with more melanin in their skin are inferior. This is false.
The second part says people with more melanin in their skin score lower on IQ tests. This is true (because IQ tests are terrible, and its creator said so too)
It doesn’t. The test was designed for white people. It’s the same reason that facial recognition has more false positives for people with more melanin in their skin.
The problem is the test, not the skin. That’s my point.
That statement only has one part. Could you clarify what you mean here? I’m not sure I understand.

I think it would help to define the causal relationship you’re referring to. What exactly about skin color changes the outcome of the test?

How does the test tell the difference? Does it come with a color chart?
I think it’s that the statement in question was proclaimed is the “first part”. Or maybe the genetic predisposition is. Unclear.
