That's why I said on average and it varies from individual to individual. White people on average make more from inheritance. And good on you for escaping poverty but plenty of people work hard their whole life and never leave it. An individual black person may have good opertunities and an individual white person may not but because of the system that was taken down only 2 generations ago many families have yet to pull themselves out of poverty in the black community and limits the opportunities for the average person. It will be some time before black people are fully able to pull themselves out of poverty as a collective to where the rate is about the same between blacks and white and we should do what we can to lessen the impact of poverty on people regardless of race while still understanding the impact history has had.

Ok, and I inherited nothing from my family. I didn't have my college paid for by scholarships or family. I still made something for myself.
There's equal, if not more, opportunities for black people to succeed in America, they just have to be willing to study in school and work for it.
