Well, sports jobs pay good.

I don’t know much about this ‘study or survey’ but I also think we need to look at some other factors except MONEY.

I wonder about the middle class blacks I know who are in the same boat as me right now. Are we rich? Are we happy with the economy or the job market? will we be happy with ‘equalization’ of our money?

Guess libs put this together. The old adage is true “you can make the data say anything.” Or as in the case of global warming, say it without any real science behind it.

It would be a serious study if they controlled for Education. The most obvious rebuttal is look at the success of Asian who are also racial minorities. If this country was "all about race", Asians in the USA would be similarly afflicted. They aren't.

If they could show that a black with an equivalent social/education background made 5 times less , or a white with the comparable lack of education made 5 times more, then their social/economic equivalent in the other race, they might have a point.

But they cannot because no such facts exist. Not making dumb choices early in life, higher education, competency at basic social skills and hard work still count far more then race, ethnicity or social economic background in the USA when it comes to success.
