@Danny Sullivan , so who is poorer, my African American family, or your white family?

My African American mother has done work with senators, mind you.

@Rayn198806 i mean we have nothing but your word on what race you are

so... you could be making this all up

I'll post a pic, later.

@Rayn198806 what's the point you're trying to make

You're black and more wealthy and I'm white and less wealthy

What's the point?

That's the point.

How can that be applied to a larger scale?

How does that change statistics?

Do you live in the US?

If so, how many poor, white people in your area work minimum wage?

he lives in the us

White people in the US are experiencing poverty on large scales. Like @Danny Sullivan here.

Yes that's true

But black people have it the worst

By far

So, on a larger scale, the US is full of poor white people, so why in the world are we honing in on blacks.

danny is right for once

He says to the black person making 100K

the exception not the rule

Anecdotes aren't evidence

I'm not saying black people in America are poor because they're dumb or something

Poor white people are poor because they are uneducated, and uneducated people say things like this.

Think what you want, poor person.

When you enslave an entire demographic for 500 years

And then oppress them for another 70 years

And it's hard for that group to recover overnight

@Rayn198806 as a whole blacks have a higher poverty rate than whites

thats a statistical fact

The affects can last generations

@Danny Sullivan , do you know why I'm so wealthy?

I have four degrees, so I'm able to work in STEM fields.

alright good for you
that doesnt dispute the fact that blacks on average are poorer than whites

It disputes the fact slavery had an impact. Cultural issues can be mitigated by education, so negative cultural effects were mitigated by education.
