Yes, the paper states that there are no income gaps between black and white women, but also states categorically that a) black males experience significantly worse outcomes and receive lower incomes than white males, even after controlling for education, ability etc. And b) that neighbourhood disparities, lack of equal opportunity, and racial bias are the main drivers of these disparities.
The whole paper is basically a study on the impact of racism on black men and boys.
From the conclusion:
"The black-white gap – the largest gap among those we study – is driven entirely by sharp differences in the outcomes of black and white men who grow up in families with comparable incomes [...] Closing the gap in opportunities between black and white children at a given parental income level could therefore eliminate much of the black-white income gap within two generations.
[...] our results suggest that efforts that cut within neighborhoods and schools and improve environments for specific racial subgroups, such as black boys, may be more effective in reducing the black-white gap.
Examples include mentoring programs for black boys, efforts to reduce racial bias among whites, or efforts to facilitate social interaction across racial groups within a given area."
Sure, racism *is* a complex discussion. But, you seem heavily biased towards the “racism isn’t an issue” end of the spectrum whilst citing a study that clearly highlights the impact of racism. What was your aim in linking this? Why aren’t you weighing that conclusion heavily?
"What was your aim in linking this? Why aren’t you weighing that conclusion heavily?"
You complained that I don't ask you questions (even though I do) and then ignore them when I ask them.
Also, please stop misrepresenting what I say, I didn't say you said there was no racism. I said you seem heavily biased towards one end of a spectrum. You keep taking offence because you're not reading what I'm writing.
