Since neither the article nor the pdf provide any information about the source of the data, the way the study was conducted, the specific questions asked, the background research that was done, or anything else besides what could be a predetermined conclusion that blacks are poorer because of an unfair tax system and unfavorable interest rates, the article itself is highly suspect.
Just because a publication is peer reviewed does not make it correct.
There are plenty of other reasons why groups of people are poorer than average which have nothing to do with what taxes they pay.
Poor money management skills and lack of training on fundamentals of budgeting your income are just two.
