I mean, it IS a fact that black people have less money than white people on average. For centuries, the United States intentionally tried to keep black people from earning wealth.

• Slavery. Black people weren't even considered people. Weren't allowed to learn to read or write.
• Jim Crow era. Black people weren't allowed to own homes in most areas or even rent apartments in most areas. Or go to most colleges.

Not to mention black people getting lynched by white mobs and having their families and property destroyed.

Not to mention the numerous race massacres that destroyed communities, black owned businesses, churches, etc. The burning of black wall street alone erased an untold among of generational wealth, and that's just one example out of many.

Not to mention all the black people who are still victims of a blatantly corrupt justice system and have been sitting in jail for decades for crimes they didn't commit. Some who get released are given paltry amounts of money by the states who failed them in "restitution."

Black people today still deal with their homes being appraised for much less value than the market in some areas.
