On the notion that blacks at the same income level face greater difficulties in their neighborhoods and a greater risk of downward mobility than whites at the same income level:
"Here's the problem with judging these things by economic outcomes. A racist can make the argument that Jews control the economy to an unfair degree and keep themselves in the upper 1% by practicing nepotism. After all, statistics prove that a ridiculously disproportionate number of Jews are wealthy and that they are significantly wealthier, on average, than Gentiles.
The supporting evidence would be true but the reasoning would be false. "
