This statement is false. Studies and statistics show that African American men earn less than white men with similar occupations. According to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in 2019, African American men earned only 75.4% of what white men earned in median weekly earnings for full-time workers. Additionally, African American men are often underrepresented in higher paying occupations and face discrimination in the job market.
