this report that came out today is so depressing...many numbers in it but this one was particularly staggering to me

median household net worth

blacks - 6,314
whites - 110,500

Damn, I didn't realize I was black...

Seriously, though, that is one messed up statistic.  Shows there's a hell of a long way to go catching up the equality of economic opportunity in this country.

EDIT:  Do you have the source for this?  I'd be interested in reading it.

Wealth carries from generation to generation so it really shouldn't surprise anyone that people who are largely descended from slaves have not developed much wealth in a handful of generations.  Even without Jim Crow and latent, hushed racism, they'd be way way behind, but add those and yeah, this doesn't surprise anyone, I think.

its not so much the gap as its the fact that after all this time its getting much worse....the further we get away from our awful past the better it should be getting

Hanged. Only hbionic would want to know if he was hung or not.

Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

Anyone catch this weeks Vice, and the rise of militias?  I'd say 99% of the idiots they showed are racist aholes who have email strings just like the St Louis County police.
