THIS ARTICLE IS A CESSPIT OF BAD ANALYSIS, NOT EVEN MAKING IT CLEAR WHETHER IT IS COMPARING COMPARABLE COLLEGE DEGREES, OR IS EQUATING A B.S. IN MATH FROM COLUMBIA WITH A B.A. IN AFRICAN-AMERICAN STUDIES FROM SUNY.:  Black New Yorkers with a college degree earn $21,900 a year less than their white counterparts.

My experience of similar articles comparing male and female earnings, for instance, leads me to believe the lack of precision is intentional.
