The story did THE SAME, and listed reasons for it.. Did you even read it?
The fact that you dont agree with the article, doesnt mean its wrong!!
\Yes, i did read the article, hence my response to the OP. No where did I say the article was wrong , what I said was You made ill informed comments by generalizing minorities. So your blaming the article for your generalizing?
Median household income (Black): $33K
Median household income (Hispanic): $36K
Median household income (Caucasian/white): $48K
Median household income (Indian): $69K
Does your logic also represent hard work as a percentage of income? If it does, white families must work 50% harder than black and Hispanic families, and Indian families work 50% harder than white families.
Trust me though, you might not survive very long working like many of those who you accuse of not working hard enough yet paid pittance for their job.
Well blacks have higher rates of high school drop outs and they have higher rates of children being born out of wedlock.
It's hard to get ahead economically if you don't have a hs diploma.
It's also hard to get ahead economically if you are a single parent.
What's so ignorant about that?
Unless you can prove me wong?
Those would be 2 reasons why whites earn more money.
Don't know for sure but I bet Asians make more money than whites. And they have higher educational levels and less out of wedlock births.
Not only were 2 or my 3 children born out of wedlock, but this single mom of 3 has worked extremely hard to ensure that my children did not fall behind. Two of which are a Sophmore and Junior in college. I not only have my Masters in Business, but i'm also an Executive Director for one of the largest Telecom companies in the U.S.

I can go on with my family history to prove how WRONG AND FOOLISH you could look when you generalize.

Good for you. I didn't say it was true in every case.
Blacks drop out of high school at twice the rate of whites.
Blacks have kids out of wedlock at more than twice the rate of whites.
That's 2 really good reasons why blacks can't get as good as paying jobs as whites and accumulate wealth.
It's not like that makes me happy. It's just hard to ignore facts.
If it were the other way around then whites would be poorer.
Hispanics drop out more than blacks. I suspect they earn less, though I never looked it up.
If you don't believe me look up the Dept of Education and Census Bureau websites.
Unless you are saying dropping out of high school and having kids at 15 years of age are economically sound ideas?

But you havent yet answered the question, have you accumulated "wealth" or just spent your income? The fact that you earn more means because you are better educated adds nothing to the topic. In fact, you indeed validate the postings by being the "exception" for minorities. After all, if it was the norm, you would have no need to toute your qualifications!!
