[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People from Ghana and Nigeria are making more on average per household than whites as of 2016. They must have missed the “racist system” memo.

They are immigrants, who likely had resources in their home countries, unlike African Americans who have systematically been denied the opportunity to accumulate wealth. [/quote]

There is a big difference in historical and societal pressures that affect AAs and immigrants from Nigeria and Ghana, especially historical and societal legacies from Jim Crow and slavery. But it’s hard to argue that a system is a racist, white supremacist, wholly oppressive system when some groups of blacks actually make more money per household than whites and other racial groups like Asians make 30% more. It’s even harder to make an argument that Hispanics are suffering from this “racist” system when Japanese people, whose forefathers were put in camps, make more than 20% more than whites. [/quote]
