African Americans were worse off financially in 2016 than they were in 2000. The median income for an African American household was $39,490 last year, according to U.S. Census Bureau data released last week. It was $41,363 in 2000. (Both figures are in 2016 dollars, so they have been adjusted for inflation). African Americans are the only racial group the Census Bureau identifies that has been left behind. White, Asian and Latino households have all seen at least modest income gains since 2000.

I call bull stuff. Copious grocery shopping carts, yards full of cars, shiny fancy big wheels, out and about after 10 with no visible means of support, would venture to guess...
.. appear to be well funded...period.
Somehow, this will be -— we all know it -— Trump’s Fault!
I always said Obama would do for America what he did for Illinois.
Well, I think some of them are earning money in ways that don’t show up on the tax returns, if you know what I mean.
Weird. I would have thought Barack Hussein would have fixed that...

Democrats really don’t offer any solutions. They just try to divide for political gain. It has been this way for decades.
Powerful meme ... and so true
No hope and no change.

They don’t count illegal earnings.
Coming to the United States to do work African Americans used to do, but for less than minimum wage is an acy of love.
Only ¡YEB! can beat Hillary.
Government handouts aren’t “earnings”.
Exactly. Using median household data is a weaselly way to avoid dealing with individual differences between cultural groups. Too many African American households have, at most, one wage earner. A lot have none. Compared to other groups where two parents live together and earn wages, plus children often have part-time jobs, the single parent heavy black culture comes out looking pretty pitiful. But comparing individual wages usually shows that black workers out earn workers of other races with comparable education and work history. So, contrary to the author’s attribution of the problem to discrimination, the culprit is broken families and disdain for “white values” of hard work, delayed gratification and personal responsibility. Black and poverty are corollaries rather than causation factors.

And remember, if they averaged in the football players, JayZ, Beyonce and Kanye West, the ordinary folks make way less than the average figure.
Are they counting their income from dealing drugs?
Because Bammy got ‘em all on welfare.
Black & White Democrats will lie to your face, but the truth is Obama did what his White Liberal Elite Masters told him to do!
“Thanks, Obama!
He really did sucker them.”
He sure did. It is OK as long as a black man does it. Also with blacks getting killed. Again OK as long as a black man does it.
