There no doubt that the cover, with it's smug caricature black man and the big type "SMARTER THAN THOU," is consciously punching a big button for that portion of their readership that has 'superior to blacks' as a tenet of their identity. They are working racial resentment as well as anti-intellectual resentment here.
