Is "black-white achievement gap" still there once you control for parents' education and incomes?

  Yes, that's why it's not the "rich-poor achievement gap", which is also quite large, but significantly smaller than the black-white one.

    Got any data? I googled a bit, but couldn't find by both socioeconomic class and color. It's either one or the other. I wonder where's the disparity. Are well-off black kids doing worse? Is it poor whites doing better than their peers? Are white poor- communities doing better than black ghettos? How is it correlating to street crime and violence?

        Wow, every post on that blog seems to be a wealth of data. This should be its own post.
