By most measures the poverty rates for AA's is about 25% which is stunningly, shockingly high but means that most blacks are middle class. But of course, the high number for that rate is according to people like you a "distraction" created by the "1%" for their betterment and has absolutely nothing to do with the institutionalized system of racial apartheid upon which this country was founded and prospered.
For the record, I'm not sure why you posted this. You show a typical but nonetheless discouraging amount of historical ignorance of American history. You have spouted the exact same willfully clueless talking points ("it's not race, it's class!" and that the "fascination with race" is some social construct that's popped up in the last 50 years and only benefits the 1%) that others have spouted for decades.
The only thing interesting about this post is your language, particularly this sentence "The term "white privilege" also gives the Black middle class a pass, which frankly they probably don't deserve either." which I find utterly fascinating.
