Yes but by decades it is improving and if you look at the charts there have been huge strides since the 60s that have brought black Americans into the same income distribution as all other ethnicities other than indigenous.

It also clearly proves their “black/native and everyone else” wrong since it says Hispanic ethnicities are also not catching up all that fast. The narrative that we’re just not improving the lives of black Americans is unhelpful and incorrect.

Id agree about natives, but there’s a lot less discussion around then (which is sad to say the least.)
