Are you aware of the fact that a White Male ex convict has a better chance of employment than a College educated Black man with no criminal history?How does that fact work within the paradigm of meritocracy you are trying to affirm here?
I am now aware of another false statistic thanks to you.
But I can tell you that in 2004, this was found:
New statistics from the Census Bureau confirm the powerful economic advantage that accrues to African Americans who hold a four-year college degree. Current figures for the year 2004 show that blacks with a college diploma now have a median income that is 95 percent of the median income of similarly educated whites. Blacks with a doctorate actually have higher incomes than similarly educated whites. These are extraordinary achievements that have been consistently overlooked by most commentators.
Similarly educated black Americans have median incomes at 95% of their white peers. And black Americans actually have HIGHER incomes than similarly educated whites.
Isn't that amazing? I love these facts that come from 2004.

So it would appear that this victimization bullshit that many leftists and SJWs are trying to sell black people is WRONG and harmful to the black community. Nothing is worse than telling a group of people that if they try to get ahead that they are just getting dog treats from their white masters. When the literal and factual tool that they can use is getting an education and participating in the workforce. You're telling them that the very thing that can help them rise up is bad or not obtainable.
And this is part of why I spend my time volunteering with a special charity that helps teens and young adults escape violance. I donate money and time to help people, locally, get on the right track in life, prioritize education, and get out of the cycle of violence.
So when I read bullshit like what you posted, I take personal issue with it. I am literally fighting against false ideas like yours so young black men, especially, stop believing in that stupid bullshit.
Here is some more data about black men:

Here's the takeaway: get an education. When someone tells you that you can't do it or that you're just an Uncle Tom, work harder and tell those naysayers to f*ck off.
