Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Despite gains in income and education, the Black middle class still faces segregation in areas such as housing and education. They may not experience racism to the same extent as lower-income Black individuals, but they still face challenges and discrimination. Choice A is incorrect as the Black middle class does experience racism. Choice B is also incorrect as there is still a significant wage gap between the Black middle class and the White middle class. Choice C is incorrect as the Black middle class is not a monolithic group and does not necessarily conform to the model minority stereotype.
