Kevin Drum has the answer with his post Black Incomes Have Fallen Further Behind Whites for the Entire 21st Century.
Black men have made essentially no progress in the past four decades, while black women have fallen considerably further behind. Since 2000, both both men and women have fallen further behind their white counterparts.
There are two other graphs and he notes:
Black households made income and wealth gains up through about 2000, but since then have gone backwards. Any way you look at this, the gap between blacks and whites has gotten worse throughout the entire 21st century. Anyone who doesn’t understand why the African-American community has seemingly become more despairing of racial progress lately should take a look at this.
The data for the graph here comes from FRED. If you haven’t used FRED it is an excellent resource. To get you started with FRED by comparing black vs white earnings (not separated by gender) go here and then click on edit graph. Add the series LEU0252883700Q under customize data. Then under formula type a/b. You should get the graph below. You can then download the data and graph.
