Not saying racism no longer affects black women in any way. Or sexism either, for that matter. But a 1% advantage in earning stays a 1% advantage in earning, and the 11% earning penalty for black men stays an 11% penalty.

As for parental wealth being everything, that's how capitalism is supposed to work. When black women do a little better than white women, it means the capitalist system is slightly overcompensating.
