If you check kandrathe's statistics for rich black people you will find they don't apply anymore. The same if you separate rich and poor white people. That is how it is in the US and that is how it is in the rest of the world.
So what you are essentially saying is that the majority of black people living in the US are below the poverty level, since 1 in 15 goes to prision, correct? I don't actually know if this is true or not, just trying to see if I understand you correctly.
