I know that this discussion is not primarily about race, but I feel compelled to make this observation:

Not all black people in the US are desperately poor; indeed, large numbers are "middle class" (although many of us who are used to describing ourselves as "middle class" are now living from paycheck to paycheck, just getting by, and not nearly so comfortably-middle-class as we used to be). However, it is equally true that most of the very poorest Americans are black.

It is quite true that significant numbers of Americans who enjoy recreational travel and who own late-model gas-guzzling vehicles are indeed black, and also brown, red, and yellow.

On the other hand, if you ride the bus in almost any large US city*, you will observe that the overwhelming majority of the riders ~ that is, almost all of the people who must rely on our inadequate public transporation system to get around ~ are African Americans.

And it is also true, as someone observed, that a huge percentage of young black males are in jail and therefore not engaging in travel of any kind.

*New York City is an exception. Everyone takes the subway, except the wealthiest, who stick to taxicabs and "car services." Driving is just too much trouble, and there isn't room for everyone to have a car; the cost of renting a parking spot can be higher than the cost of a modest home or apartment in a smaller town!
