I'm completely overwhelmed by your evidence of median black income moving from 59% of whites in 1970 to 65% in 2016, and appearing to not change substantively in the last 15 years of the dataset. If the overall trend continues, we'll reach parity in another 269 years.

And it hardly has been happening in a world where considering race and proxies of race is considered "OK".

This is an absolutely comical piece of evidence you advance to try and justify your view.
