In any case, high paying jobs require networking.  Ask yourself why networking might be difficult in a segregated environment.  Say you manage to overcome that hurdle?  Well, then you'll have to contend with the fact that a black sounding name on an app or resume means you are less likely to be called back.  Say you overcome that hurdle and actually get the job?  Womp womp, african americans are paid less than whites at -every- education level.
No doubt.
Then we're done with this one, QED.

Quote:No, dude.  It's mostly you.  
A moment ago it was no doubt...now it's just me.  Get your shit together before you try again.

-If- you solved whatever malnutrition and drug problem you think is causing the issue (both massively prevalent in whites, btw, but facts, who fucking cares..right?), and then improved test scores...somehow, you would still find that it is difficult to network in a segregated environment, that racial bias leads to low levels of callbacks, and that landing the job leads to lower pay at all education levels.

The Real Problem™ of racism, is racism. Not that blacks are dumb malnourished drug addicts with low test scores..hurr durr.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
