Arnold Kling also peels away some layers of a post by Gary Becker on the black-white gap and draws the following analysis. I think it's not quite this simple. But the claim is that "the gaps...would decline", not disappear.
What he is saying is that the white-black gap reflects a capitalism-socialism gap. Too many blacks are caught in a socialist trap of government schools without choice, drug laws that create economic opportunities for criminals, and so on. He believes that if blacks were brought into the capitalist system, then the gaps between blacks and whites in terms of education and income would decline.
