What were their majors? You need to compare them on the basis of jobs and not lump everyone together. What percentage became lawyers, doctors, software engineers, physicists, etc.
I’m White ,so why am I a Zero on the Wealthy Scale ?
Except for Sharpton and Jackson.
That requirement needs to be fairly loose ... Lots of people with natural science degrees (physics, chemistry, biology, geology, mathematics) end up working as engineers of some sort, not strictly speaking as scientists.
Mellanic Studies vs. Petroleum Engineering, LOL

That African ‘Studies’ major needs to have a complementary minor in Sub-Saharan Homoerotic Dance to be of any real value in today’s workplace.
How many women, black or white, go into the sciences and technical fields? If 66% of black college graduates are females, the comparison to whites becomes more skewed.
Women tend to desire husbands who are as educated or more educated than they are, which makes marriage more difficult for black women with higher education degrees. According to an analysis by the Brookings Institution, the percentage of black women college graduates aged 25 to 35 who have never married is 60 percent, compared to 38 percent for white college-educated women.
Further, only 2 percent of highly-educated white women had children out of wedlock, whereas 26 percent of black women with four-year degrees did.
The issue seems to be social and cultural, which may explain the differences in financial outcomes.
Don’t forget appearance. We need someone to start a ‘Pull Up Your Pants And Put A Belt On’ drive.
Fat Al Sharpton is a college dropout.
Je$$e Jack$on has a BS degree in sociology.
Both are statistical outliers. IMO.
Success is composed of three pillars
Skills or education
Ambition or motivation
Discipline
A college degree only addresses one of the three
RE: Studies need to focus on how to encourage stable marriages and create incentives to stay married.
Charles Murray wrote two books. One titled “Losing Ground”, the other titled “Coming Apart”, explaining ON AVERAGE, how black AND white people drop behind on the wealth scale.
He was invited to talk about it on college campuses and was quickly SHOUTED DOWN by students when he arrived in various campuses. He wasn’t even allowed to speak ( see Middlebury College ).
Yeah, I forgot to add that Minor. It would be a given that you’d need that.
RE: Fat Al Sharpton is a college dropout.
He is the Rev. Al Sharpton. What seminary did he graduate from?
For some blacks, college is not an equalizer. For some whites, college is not an equalizer. So what? What colleges were involved? What majors were involved? What were class standings? What grades were made? So many variables other than race. Poor question and answered poorly.
A worthwhile program of studies leading to a college degree addresses all three of your pillars.
I'm mildly curious as to what college degrees you hold, and what major programs of study lead to those degrees.
How about the fact that many go to a Historic Black College that is very inferior to a simple junior college? Some of these schools use text books written for high school freshmen.
Thank the first black president for this one. Elections have consequences.
Seminary? None, that I'm aware of or that Wikipedia (hah hah hah) mentions.
Jesse Jackson is a Chicago Theological Seminary dropout.
“An Ohio State study found that divorce decreases wealth by an average of 77 percent. Jay Zagorsky, the study’s author, counseled: If you really want to increase your wealth, get married and stay married. On the other hand, divorce can devastate your wealth.”
