You my friend have no idea what a bad argument is.

So control for IQ. Lets say we did. Sadly the statistics already say that a poor white person is more likely to "climb up from poverty" than a poor black person.

See the problem with your argument is that you somehow think that IQ is a factor here.

Lets say there are 10 job openings, and 3 of those jobs are run by people who are secretly prejudiced against black people and will come up with some excuse to not hire them.

That means for a white person there are 10 job openings and for a black person there are only 7, regardless of IQ.

So a white person and a black person with equal IQ do not have an equal situation in a country where the supremacy is white (even outside of racism and the like, there is always cultural bias which applies here).
