 African-American males born in the top income bracket have a 50-50 chance of falling into the bottom fifth of income earners during their lifetime. Even Black boys whose families make a million dollars a year, they are equally likely to be jailed as a white boy born into a family earning only $40,000 a year ("Stuck in Cycle." Hendren.)

 Black boys raised in the United States, even in the wealthiest families, still earn less as adults than white boys with similar backgrounds. Not only that, but poor students who excel in school are just as likely to end up in the bottom of the economic ladder than their wealthy ne'er-do-well counterparts (Ehrenfreund).
