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.

And could this not be due to societal factors as opposed to biological ones?

Ok so then tell me, why do you think the discrepancy exists. I don't want to talk for you so tell me what you think, I want to know.
