Six Figure Salary Gap Amongst African Americans

When I read this article I was shocked that only 3.3% of African Americans earning six-figure salaries; and that much of the short fall is due to educational achievements. Which probes me to find out how much more do Africans get paid in certain professions relative to White Americans. I mean, I am under the assumption that African Americans who hold doctorate degrees particularly in the technology field should be making six-figures at the minimum. Now I am beginning to realize that African Americans holding advanced degrees are being slighted. For instance, recently this guy from Cameroon holding a PhD from Morgan State left international business machines to go to Fujitsu. The reason he left said company after contributing 4 patents was because he never received a promotion since he joined the company and had not been making six-figures to begin with (the compensation/benefits & stock options does not add-up to six-figures either). I would like to hear your opinion on this and how do you overcome being under-valued in this climate... BTW, here's the article: Six-Figure Salary Gap
