I love that! There's a reason "yo mamma" jokes came to be - in general I
believe black people have more respect for their mothers than white people.
I know I'm painting with a broad brush here.

What makes you think that? Aren't whites supposed to become the minority
group in near decades? It's possible that they'll still control the mass
of the wealth but I doubt that'll last for long. There are to many
intelligent non-white people for them not to make a massive leap forward
as a whole. Also I've noted that most minority groups have strong
cultures of hanging together which most middle or lower class white
people lack. They share the resources they do have to do what seppertly
they couldn't. My ex-wife (immigrant, Colombian, Latino, Catholic) got a
car she never could have afforded by getting random people in her
community to co-sign for it. That was sort of the norm for her family
and friends. As a white guy if I went next door and asked the white
strangers there to co-sign anything I'm pretty sure they'd tell me to
fuck off. That difference in networking I think will have an
increasingly strong play on removing the white people from the majority
influence. Of course as those groups become more prominant they may lose
that community strength..
