Interestingly enough the Haitian mullattoes(a half-black half-white
person) dominated the society and were/are the wealthiest in Haiti.
Even in black countries the partially white persons seem to hold the
wealth for some reason. I don't know whether it's because the
mullattoes were smarter and wealth is linked to intelligence so this
is the reason.
Or historically the French colonials gave them the power and they held
onto it.

"Left behind was a scattering of mixed-race people, called mulattoes,
who quickly took over the plantations left by the French. The black
generals who led the rebellion seized power, while the mulattoes
became Haiti's business and plantation owners. In the next two
centuries, the two coexisted, at times acting in alliances, at others
in standoffs edged with resentment. Haiti's governments were rarely
successful. It became a "kleptocracy" - a system of government based
on taxation and theft. Its dictators were typically brutal, and many
were overthrown in coups d'etat, 33 times in 200 years - on average,
every six years. The mulatto elite, for the most part, did not develop
a sense of civic duty. Having to pay bribes to do business, many took
the easy way out, building lives of luxury and comfort on the backs of
poorly paid servants and laborers."

I don't know if anyone has a source, but I bet the mixed-race,
partially black partially white americans do better than the
pure-blooded or more black americans.
