A black muslim just got done ruling the free world for almost a decade, get out of here with that shite.


Not to mention Black Supreme Court Justices, Black US Attorney General's, Black Congress (both House and Senate, ya know, the place laws are written and passed for signing). Blacks are Dr.'s, lawyers, Dentists, Sherriff's, Marshall, Police Chief's, firemen, President, Senator, Representative, Mayor, Governor,...

There is no job or position that is excluded to a Black person anywhere in the USA for over 50 years.

In addition to income, black boys were more likely to be incarcerated and less likely to attend college than their white counterparts from families of similar income level. 

That's a cultural issue. I'm not sure how that's white people's fault.

At 40 years old, I make more than any of my parents ever made at any point in their lives. Now, I don't know how my salary compares to my white counterpart though. Everyone is so damn secretive with their salary information.

Funny how the article didn't mention the fact that the study showed that Asian Americans have a similar upward mobility as white people and that Hispanic Americans have an increasing upward mobility that is slightly below white people. Does racism explain that too?

ETA: Study also goes on to say, "black women earn
slightly more than white women conditional on parent income"

The actual article in the NYT does mention this and is a much better article LINK

Gaps persisted even when black and white boys grew up in families with the same income, similar family structures, similar education levels and even similar levels of accumulated wealth.

The study was conducted by The Equality of Opportunity Project. A bunch of white liberals from Harvard, Stanford and UC-Berkeley, and was funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the Kellogg Foundation, and Stanford University.

seems legit...

I skimmed some of the study. Just some interesting things I see immediately. According to this study, higher rates of upward mobility for black boys and relatively small black-white gaps are correlated with 3 factors: low poverty rates, low levels of racial bias among whites, and high rates of father presence among blacks.

Low poverty rates and father presence are obvious factors and can be easily measured.

But, how do you exactly measure racial bias? Well they used two main measurements: 1) implicit racial bias and 2) google searches for racial epithets

quote:

We focus on two measures of racial bias. The first is a measure of implicit racial bias from
implicit association tests (IAT), which measure the difference in a participant's ability to match
positive and negative words with black vs. white faces (Greenwald et al. 1998). We obtain mean
IAT racial bias scores for white and black study participants (with higher values representing greater bias) at the county level from the Race Implicit Association Database. The second measure we
use is the Racial Animus Index constructed by Stephens-Davidowitz (2014). This is a measure
of explicit racial bias, based on the frequency of Google searches for racial epithets at the media
market level, which are aggregations of counties.


They also used a 3rd factor in determining racial bias which they only speak of in the footnotes and is based on: "attitudes regarding interracial marriage in the General Social Survey, as constructed by Mas and Moretti (2009)"... aka a survey that is almost 10 years old.

I’m a teacher and make exactly the same as anyone who’s been teaching/coaching the same amount of time in my parish. It doesn’t matter if they’re male or female black or white.

Did they look at IQ? It's a fact that on average black men have a much lower IQ. I'd like to see a study of earnings of the 2 when they both have a comparable IQ because the higher the IQ the better a person is at management and problem solving.
