If I've read White correctly, he's talking about how prosperous some
blacks had become, but not about what percentage were below the poverty
line.  Similarly, Murray talks about how many were below the poverty
line, but not how prosperous blacks in general are.  In short, I don't
see any necessary contradiction between the figures White supplies, and
the figures Murray supplies.
