It's not my "own personal opinion," dude, it's common knowledge.
Since this apparently needs to be said:
Black people were brought to the Americas as slaves. After emancipation, tribal laws stayed in place in the South as well as in the North (to a lesser extent.) The Democrats (the more conservative party at the time) passed Black Codes and the Jim Crow laws, for example. Black people in the South were left to the fate of sharecropping, slavery part two, where they would plant/harvest the plantation owner's crop for a stuff amount of money and the ability to live on the plantation (hmm). Outside the fields, work was hard to come by. Most businessowners didn't want those uncivilized black folk working with them. They were genetically inferior, after all.
During WWI, when all the white men went to war, many black sharecroppers were able to move from the South into Northern cities. Lots of lynchings around this time. Black people were forced into ghettoes, separate and unequal, with shacks or small dumpy apartments out of the way of the civilized white folks. To top this off, black children were barred from going to the white kids' schools and were put into stuffty segregated schools with old textbooks and not enough space.
Past this, after all the Civil Rights Acts and what-not, it's just the poverty cycle. Dumb poor people generally raise dumb poor people.

He's pointing out the double standard that because black people generally are more poor than white people, it's white people's fault. But if Asian people are generally richer than white people, doesn't that mean asian people's fault too?

Education is stressed in Asian cultures and that carries over here. Plus we have the stereotype (based on that) that Asian people are smarter and harder-working. That means more money.
