The average Black person is middle class with about $35-40k household income, well above the poverty line.

EDIT: I should also add that there are more blacks per capita below the poverty line than any other ethnic group in the US.

[Black Magisterialness]

1/3 of black people live in poverty. Not the average but still disproportionate when compared to the national average.

Yes.



She goes into great detail about it in mostly all of her videos, but here she addresses Black people reacting to Trump saying "Black People are poor"

Just being American gives us a quality of life higher than someone living in brazil but we're still poor.
When you say "living in poverty" I picture a brazil slum or some shyt like that.

Poverty is working class. It's living paycheck to paycheck, you can't NOT work. That's poor, man.
