ON THE EIGHTH day of protests against the killing of George Floyd, Donald Trump boasted about his record on reducing black poverty and unemployment and passing criminal-justice reform. “My Admin”, he tweeted, “has done more for the Black Community than any president since Abraham Lincoln.
Income numbers understate the real economic disparities because they only describe people who are in work. According to a study by Patrick Bayer of Duke University and Kerwin Charles of the University of Chicago, a stunning 35% of young black men are unemployed or out of the workforce altogether, twice the share of whites.
Covid-19 has been a catastrophe, and African-Americans have been hardest hit by it. Black and Hispanic New Yorkers are twice as likely to die of covid-19 as whites; black Chicagoans, five times more likely.
Education education education (And that's multifaceted)
So president Obama made huge difference to American black people's lives!
martinvars Pero en el artículo no dice nada de los hispanos. Cuantos hispanos mueren por violencia policial? A nadie le importa mucho lo que le pase a los hispanos.
What are the causes Education? Opportunities ?
chenweihua Garbage corporate propaganda, as usual from the Economist...but good for dividing people and more quickly collapsing America.
This reinforces my view of the lost eight years of the Obama presidency. The lost opportunity for a black president to amend the inequality of his black people. He wanted to be a History Man, 'a president for all Americans', he fondly like quoting. The Uncle Tom fool.
Imagine believing in end point theories of distribution and then calling yourself
And what were the ratio of whites in Afrika....what other then these silly post on can expect frm u..do u really expecting to change race demography within few decades
cant wait till predominantly liberal white neighborhoods in NY, San Fran, Seattle, etc decide to rezone their single family neighborhoods near city cores to allow 1,000's more units of housing to help achieve economic equality through greater housing supply
They should try to be better
And that's on whites' fault because.....?
What was it before the economy tanked
'Was' the same, update your statistics...
Sooooooo........they're still as big a bunch of losers now as they were in 1990 ? Pro Tip: Go to school. Get a job. Obey the law. Don't skip out on your responsibilities. Problem solved !
Didn't some knucklehead senator/governor/official suggest yesterday that most Black Americans were middle class 🤣
This is so true! It's all about economic inequality. That's exactly what those looters were discussing when they were smashing Target safes and stealing TVs
This is a completely inappropriate comparison . Indians Are mainly highly skilled migrants and have high income Should a taxi driver earn the same as a. Doctor for example
Blame central banking.
You should say Asian privilege.
After 60 years of white privilege everyone is on the side of justice now. Where are all of the racist? Minimum sentencing. Three strikes you're out. Unequal education, poor health care, women included in affirmative action with great advancement and money goes to white homes.
Is it because the white race are more educated than the black race as well as Asian what is wrong with that, we all have to work hard for what we have.
The Economist does know the importance of education and labour market experience. What is the difference in income for blacks and whites with the same edication and labour market experience? The Economist is no longer reputable.
I hate the BS your paper & other MSM keep peddling, trying to divide the country even more I'm not white & I worked my ass off to get to where I am today I never had to hide my lunch money from white ppl in sock at school,I did because of the black kids You work for what you want
There's any even scarier statistic to consider: wealth inequality
Another point missed by the Economist. If we had any doubts your journalists are biased, this is now confirmed. You guys are no more factual.
Median Incomes: 1. Indian Americans = $132,746 (2016) South Asian supremacy!
Why don’t compare with Africa?
Nigerian Americans: Median household income of $62,351 compared to $57,617 nationally, as of 2015.
What's with the black vs white narrative?! What about Asians? Earn far more than white people. There must be some sort of Asian privilege for them to be doing that well for themselves! 🤔 Start doing your fucking jobs properly.
I notice you omit Asian and Jewish income figures. Unequal outcomes is not proof of oppression. Do Asians discriminate against whites in the US? Do Jews oppress whites?
Perhaps black household would do well to look at white household are doing to earn more income. Two parents Valuing education Weird how simple things, which cost nothing, can make such a huge difference.
Non-whites who blame their failures on the resistance of whites to integration implicitly concede that they aren't genetically equal to whites because they're saying that whites can succeed without non-whites but, but non-whites can't succeed without whites.
It has much more to do with family than race, look at the percentage married or w/partner and single parent. The black family in the 50's and 60's was more a two parent household. The welfare policy of the Democrat party did the opposite of what they said it was for.
Damn all y’all are rich. Trans women get paid 20-25k tops. Ask around
Why compare with and complain about the dreaded Paleskins all the time when they're are in the middle of the table when Jews, Indians, Chinese, Japanese etc. and even US immigrants from Africa earn more, on average than than the Pale Monster?
If wikipedia is to be trusted, Asians come in first, at $87,194.
Obama, o Presidente negro, saiu e esqueceu de instituir políticas públicas em relação às divergências raciais em seu país. Se fez, não funcionou. Agora vem falar idiotices!!
Aren't there are more single moms among African Americans? So how many people is that per household?
because they do different jobs Blacks tend to be cops or security guards n janitors
Also, someone mentioned “getting an education helps.” Well, the racial housing zones and discrimination created educational districts based on race. So, the zones with lesser money, Black communities, have far less resources in getting their education.
Not much one can do about that. There is a 15 point IQ difference.
realDonaldTrump has done more for the Black Community than any President since Abraham Lincoln. Guaranteed funding for HBCU’s, School Choice, passed Criminal Justice Reform, lowest Black unemployment, poverty, and crime rates in history. FACT!!!
Meanwhile, UK median for 2019 works out to $35,500. Y’all are killing it.
Yes, but if you consider the wealth in totality instead of income, it’s whites: $171,000 vs blacks: $17,100. See Brookings Institute’s study on income disparity.
Self-discipline pays better dividends.
Please note Social Security income for all senior citizens averages about $17,000 per annum.Yes, Capitalism has failed all Americans by institutionalizing income discrimination. latimes nytimes dbcurren WSJ politico Nouriel pdacosta HuffPost CultrHack SpeakerPelosi NPR
Reasons: Higher rates of not being raised in a family, Higher rates of crimes including drug abuse, higher rates of homicide Being victims or identity politics and voting to corrupted democrat politicians Being lazy and less motivated Ps: you are fake news
Now do wealth
What about Asian? What about the other 30+ nationalities that have came to America? What is your research shown you on the whole mix of folks?
Comparing that figures to BarackObama administration from realDonaldTrump adm... Which is better?
I don’t believe those numbers ...
So?
Must be racism that white people make more money right? Only reason! Just like the fake wage gap between sexes, this adds up all white and blacks incomes and averages it without saying who works higher paying jobs and longer hours...
How to lie with statistics.
WE GET IT. Black people have it harder. Can we have a moment to regroup from the pandemic and near martial law before you stir shit up again please. Let the PTSD calm down.
I live in poverty. Where's my so called white privilege?
