The relationship between good schools and good paychecks isn't absolute.  This article shows that white schools tend to get more money than black schools at equivalent economic levels, at least in Pennsylvania.  Of course, funding isn't everything.  But on the other hand, the author of the book you mentioned was fired from the National Review for racism. 

That's actually quite surprising. I wouldn't expect a traditionally blue-state like Pennsylvania to have that much divergence in education funding by race. I'd assume that there's some confounding variable there, but maybe not.

And he was fired for this: "Robert Weissberg argued that white nationalism itself should be abandoned in favor of finding segregated white enclaves to live in—which is what many white people are already doing."

It's ridiculous how racism has gone from "discrimination based on race" to "any implication that races aren't identical in all respects or even exist at all."
