[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]A white high school dropout earns more than a black college grad because institutions protect white mediocrity by deferring black opportunity.[/quote]

I don't believe this. [/quote]

I have heard this several times, and I don’t believe it either.  [/quote]
It is possible, but still anecdotal. It is possible if white kid dropout and go ahead and work for minimum wages and black kid drop out choose not to work at all; then the income of the white kid will be higher than black’s kid income.[/quote]

[i]"At every level of educational attainment, the median wealth among black families is substantially lower than white families. White households with a bachelor’s degree or postgraduate education (such as with a Ph.D., MD, and JD) are more than three times as wealthy as black households with the same degree attainment.

Moreover, on average, [b]a black household with a college-educated head has less wealth than a white family whose head did not even obtain a high school diploma.[/b] It takes a postgraduate education for a black family to have comparable levels of wealth to a white household with some college education or an associate degree (Hamilton et al. 2015 and Meschede et al. (2017), who use the Panel Study of Income Dynamics)."[/i]
