Well, then since you say so, I guess I have to agree.

Poverty is not solely a factor of race. If so, then there wouldn't be any poor 
white folks. And there wouldn't be any rich black folks.

And the Japanese wouldn't own all of Manhattan. And Pakistanis wouldn't own 
every deli and convenience store in Mass.

Is it true that most blacks live in poverty? No. Is it true that most 
inner-city blacks live in poverty? No.

Is it true that many blacks live in poverty, and this poverty is keeping many 
of them from reaching their full potential. Hell yeah. It is shameful, and a 
true loss to our society and the world.

Now you're simply being obtuse.
Poverty is a factor of race in America.

But whatever makes you feel better. Racism is not a problem in America, and 
minorities are not discriminated against in the American
workplace and school admission system by Whites.*Shrug* 
If thinking so and raising specious arguments makes you more secure and 
comfortable go right ahead.

There has been no research, or data put forward by yourself or your peers that 
share your point of view to prove that.
All that has been put forward are anecdotes and 'what if' scenarios which shows 
how weak your defence to this argument is.
