For families where only the husband works, the median black family income is just two-thirds that of similar white families, and in male headed single-parent families, the median black family income is about 79% of the median white family income as of 2001.

Again, you know this should be normalized data...Bill Gates is included in the 1st figure.

How do you suggest they do that?

See Kenneth Arrow for an interesting answer.

84.8% of whites age 25 and over are high school graduates and 27.2% have a bachelors degree.

78.7% of blacks age 25 and over are high school graduates and 17% have a bachelors degree.

Can you explain why blacks use those methods to gain income? I can, but can you. If you say it because they are dumb or lazy then I give up on you as a person. You don't deserve to even participate in such a discussion.

Yeah yeah I know exactly what you're answer would be. "Black use those methods simply because there's no other way out for them."

What if I were to tell you that I (white), come from the same exact areas as a handful of my black associates and am given almost identical opportunities when it comes to education and employment. What you're used to seeing on your TV screen about a poor black guy coming up from nothing through illegal activities is cheap fiction. I can say with certainty that 95-99% of drug dealers are fueled by greed, the hunger for more, they don't just jump in the lifestyle to make ends meet it doesn't work that way.

31.6% of Native American children live below the federal poverty level; only 13.4% of white children live below the federal poverty level.

And that is the only racism that is not addressed on a daily basis.

In fall of 2000, 13.7% of of college students were black, and 14.3% of the total college age population was black, making for only a slight underrepresentation.

So less black kids go to college. SHOCKING!

Close...but not quite

They are aware of the other possibilities but that doesn't seem "real". Many blacks do not know of other blacks who have become successful doctors, lawyers, dentists, etc because they typically do not come back to the "hood". Because they are not present, the American dream isn't as real.

They do see success stories on the corner as they typically stay in the "hood". If the only successful people you come in contact with were drug dealers, wouldn't you see that as an occupation to aspire? Plus, it is very glamorous...and the girls tend to like it. Girls do not like guys who spend 16 hour days at the office studying legal briefs.

You are white, and I am white. Neither of us see no reason why we couldn't run a fortune 500 company. Ask 100 blacks. Many of them do not share that same feeling of opportunity.
