Wealthy black people are worse off than poor white people? Do you have any references for that? I can't imagine anyone would rather be starving and white than rich and black.


I don't think that's true. But the data does show that if you control for most factors, race still plays a factor. That is, it's better to be poor and white than poor and black. That said, I'd rather be a black billionaire than dirt poor and white.
