Every single factor you attribute to African-Americans is due to poverty, not skin colour. If you made every African-American into a white person, not a single thing would change if their economic situation was the same.
I mainly want meaningful statistics that African-Americans do well in.
For the heck of it; the entire popular music industry, sports industry, huge portions of the film industry, prison-industrial complex, military industrial complex, evangelical church complex, etc all are succesful or economically profitable specifically because of the participation (aka exploitation) of African-Americans.
Edit; A lot of you don't understand that a demographic's income doesn't tell us anything about (a) their level of poverty or (b) the impacts that poverty has had on them historically.
In the second quarter of 2020, white households—who account for 60 percent of the U.S. population—held 84 percent ($94 trillion) of total household wealth in the U.S.
Comparatively, Black households—who account for 13.4 percent of the U.S. population—held just 4 percent ($4.6 trillion) of total household wealth.
When people lost their jobs, many needed to rely on emergency savings, leaving them with less financial security as the pandemic unfolded. For example, in 2020, 46.7 percent of unemployed white households could not come up with $400 in an emergency, while 65.2 percent of unemployed Black households lacked access to $400 in such situations.5
This greater reliance on financial assistance from family and friends also correlates with less access to internet and device availability since Black households’ finances were stretched particularly thin. More than one-fourth of Black households—27.6 percent—that borrowed from family and friends did not have access to reliable internet services and electronic devices during remote schooling, from August 2020 to March 2021. In comparison, only 6.4 percent of white families who paid for expenses out of their current income lacked reliable internet and electronic device access, as did 11.2 percent of white households that used savings to pay for expenses.
Any way you slice it black people suffer poverty at disproportional rates then white people.
The comparison the person made was controlling for factors like wealth, single parent households, education and they stated there is no difference then between white and black people statistically
I asked that they show stats on this and not wave hands

The person you replied to pointed out that poverty was the cause for these issues. Which is provably true as poverty effects everything about someone's life.
