I've heard that if Black America was a separate country, it would be the 8th richest in the world. I've seen 17th richest too, but either way that is interesting.
If Black America was a separate country it will be at the same level than South Korea : about $830 billion ! And it's just the beginning !
I know, you must add exports too for example.With that Black America is superior to South Korea and Mexico.
But Hispanic America is already superior to Black America, and this gap will grow.
The question is : Will Asian America surpass Black America ? Asians are less numerous but their pop growth is really better and their skills are very higher

Well, we also have to remember that Blacks as a group are growing in wealth as well. They are also climbing as far as educational attainment.
Asians who come here are often highly motivated and/or highly skilled immigrants. It's a self-selecting group. I'm pretty sure we're mostly not getting illiterate peasants in rural China who want nothing more from the US than air conditioning and free speech. Or that when we are getting that it's largely on the illegal side of Asian immigration.
If you look at immigrants from sub-Saharan Africa they also tend to average as quite successful. By some measures sub-Saharan "black" African immigrants are more educated than Asians and do better than many Southeast Asian groups. Caribbean blacks who come here are also fairly successful.
American-born blacks don't quite have the same situation. It's not a self-selecting group of motivated workers. It's descendants of people who didn't really want to be here. Oftentimes people who lost in a war between African kingdoms or tribes.

in sociology class we learned that every race is superior to Hispanics in buying power, and when looking at the incomes of both male and female , Hispanics were the lowest at the end of the barrell , it was in my sociology text book 2008 version.

That's right.
But the asian immigration in the US is old you know (it is beginning in the 18th century) and at the beginning this immigration was low-skilled and discriminations occured.Asians triumphed with their hard work and will
