August 13th is Equal Pay Day for Black women this year. It's a measure of just how underpaid they are relative to White men.

The upshot: Black women had to work an additional seven and a half months this year on top of the 12 months they worked last year just to make as much as their White, non-Hispanic male counterparts did in 2019.

Come to think of it, I don’t see many black women in the oilfield.

You're telling me that the females of a culture that devalues education and values getting knocked up earn less than the males of a culture that values the opposite?

Are they working the same jobs as the white men who are making more?

Or is this just part of systemic racism, because the types of jobs that black women choose are just generally paid less than the types of jobs that white men choose?

Is this another one of those stats that compares what all people in a category make without accounting for the job they do and their education level?

These are always so misleading. They aren't comparing accountants to other accountants. It's the same thing with the gender pay gap.

I wonder how many black women work in plants or as welders?

What, you don’t think that comparing the jizz mopper at the nudie booth to a software developer for a major tech company is an apples to apples comparison?

That's exactly what they do with the gender pay gap. They take the average pay for all women and all men. That's it. Nothing to account for men working more dangerous, physically exhausting jobs in many cases.

A construction worker is going to make more than a daycare employee.

Very sad that society doesn't value meter maids and DMV workers as much as they value doctors and engineers.

Who knew a bitchy black lady pulling a 32--hour-a-week paycheck mopping floors and fkn up orders at McD’s makes less than the average white guy at a real job?

Think I’ll go shoot some white kids and loot Barnes and Noble.

Was it Yahoo or Google that did a study a few years back about equal pay and they found that white men were one of the lowest paid group in the company.
