Black People Outearning White People in Queens

The NY Times has reported that for the first time, Black people in Queens are making more money than white people. It is attributed to a large number of high-earning Caribbean immigrants.

This is the first time I've seen this type of thing reported in a major news outlet. Caribbean people always make the distinction between themselves and black americans while it seems that black americans want to think of everyone as part of the same group.

The article sheds a little light on the gentle nuances within the black communtiy that includes things like skin tone, hair texture and immigrant status. It is the kind of thing that makes me want to look past differences in all of humanity and just accept ourselves and eachother as we are and be happy with all of it.
