Black women, on the whole are BETTER EDUCATED than the average American. We are also, per capita, the highest purchasers and readers of books. When you point to education, you specifically mention STEM. Yes, STEM graduates as a group are paid more than in other professions, but the focus of the pay difference should not be on differing professions, but whether or not people who perform the same job are paid equally. Your "argument" is specious and seemed to ignore that fact completely. Let's not blame the educational system on what are clearly employer-produced differences.
