White people are really confident that things are getting better for black people

Americans, especially wealthy whites, vastly overestimate progress toward racial economic equality despite evidence of persistent gaps between black and white workers when it comes to hourly wages, annual income and household wealth, according to a new paper by Yale University researchers published Monday.

The study’s results are especially stunning in the wake of census data released last week that showed that African Americans were the only racial group still making less than they did in 2000.

The average black household made 60 percent of what white households made in 2016 and less than half of what Asians made, according to census data. For every $100 of wealth accumulated by a white family, a black family has little more than $5 -- a gap just as wide as it was 50 years ago, according to federal statistics cited by the Yale researchers.

[African Americans are the only racial group in U.S. still making less than they did in 2000]

Yet both black and white Americans of all income levels remain profoundly unaware of the economic inequality between the two groups, said the study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The misperceptions could negatively affect public policy as the country grows more diverse, researchers said, with politicians championing misguided legislation rooted in false impressions.

“This is evidence that our beliefs about racial progress and economic equality are fairly inconsistent with reality,” said Jennifer Richeson, a Yale psychology professor who co-wrote the study. “The magnitude of the misperception is shocking, and it’s an obstacle to actually achieving the progress that everyone seems to be celebrating.”

Study: Asians displace blacks as most economically divided group

Income inequality has been growing steadily among all Americans since the 1970s. But within racial groups, the gap between rich and poor is growing most rapidly among Asians in the U.S., according to a new study.

Asians continue to rank as the highest-earning racial and ethnic group in the U.S. on average, but the distribution of income among Asians has gone from being one of the most equal to being the most unequal among all major groups, according to new analysis by the Pew Research Center.

From 1970 to 2016, the gap between higher-earning Asians and lower-earning Asians has nearly doubled and Asians have displaced blacks as the most economically divided racial group in America.

The report found that the income gap between Americans near the top of income distribution (the 90th percentile, or those earning more than 90 percent of all Americans) and those closer to the bottom (the 10th percentile) grew 27 percent from 1970 to 2016. Those higher-earning Americans had 8.7 times as much income as lower-earning Americans in 2016.

But just among Asians in the U.S., that income gap grew 77 percent in the same time period as higher-earning Asians had 10.7 times the income of lower-earning Asians in 2016.

That is now higher than the income gap among blacks: Higher-earning blacks had 9.8 times the income of lower-earning blacks in 2016.

Stop pointing at Asian Americans to downplay racism at universities
By Sophie Khan and Huixian Li, opinion contributors

The U.S. Justice Department’s recent move to investigate Harvard’s affirmative action policy continues this country’s long history of pitting people of color against each other, in this case, Asians against African Americans and Latinos, to advance the interests of white Americans.

When the term “model minority” was coined in the New York Times in 1966 to describe Japanese Americans, the nation was awash with racial unrest and a growing movement against racial inequality. Soon after, U.S. News & World Report depicted Chinese Americans as “winning wealth and respect by dint of [their] own hard work.” Similar stories in Time, Fortune and Newsweek praised Asian American groups, building a narrative that undermined claims of institutional racism by African American civil rights leaders.

A half century later, little has changed. The model minority trope, typically applied to Asian Americans, is still trotted out to downplay racism and dismiss claims of white privilege.

But when the Asian American community is broken down into its respective ethnic groups, a drastically different picture emerges. The poverty rate among Nepalese Americans is 21 percent higher than the official poverty rate. Hmong Americans are 20 percent less likely to have a bachelor’s degree or more than the average American. In contrast, 70 percent of Indian Americans have at least a bachelor degree, and their average household income is 80 percent higher than the American average.

The myth continues to be used as evidence against institutional racism. If Asians can do well, it says, any minority group can, if they just apply themselves. But research suggests that the upward mobility of Asian Americans over the past century is actually a result of post-war declines in labor market discrimination against them as compared to other minorities. Meanwhile, restrictive immigration policies since 1965 have favored and attracted highly educated Asians to the United States. In contrast, most African Americans can trace their family history back to generations of slavery, followed by a century and a half of systematic racism.

Offering up an imaginary monolithic culture as the model for success is futile and dangerous. The model minority rhetoric ignores institutional racism against Asian Americans, not to mention fundamental differences in the history and current reality faced by other people of color, such as African Americans and Latinos. Ignoring these backstories enables society to shirk responsibility for the racial inequality that still exists today. Concrete policies like affirmative action can help us move beyond stereotypes and confront racism together.

Why don't go around looking for slackers and call the truant officer on them and stop bugging US as the "cause of your community issues" ????

A recent study by the ECONOMIC POLICY INSTITUTE, something you have not read, showed things have progressed little for blacks in the last 50 years. It states that in some cases things are even worse. This study provides a harrowing truth whites like you cannot face.

For example, information from this study shows that blacks are better educated now than 50 years ago. That 92.3 percent of all blacks have a high school diploma today as opposed to 54.4 percent 50 years ago. In 1968 the gap between blacks and whites with a high school diploma was 21 percentage points. That gap has been reduced to 3.3 percentage points. In 1968 9.1 percent of all blacks had a college degree. Now it is 22.8 percent. That’s nearly a 300 percent increase.

So much bullshit, no wonder you're confused. The folks we took in from Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia were NOT mostly "highly educated Asians".. Ever ACTUALLY been to ChinaTown? San Fran or NYCity -- your choice..

And "postwar declines in labor market discrimination" ??? OF COURSE, we hated Black Americans more than the gooks who killed Uncle Matthew on Guadalcanal..

The denial is deep in this one. So you go talk to the 2 Asians who wrote the article then come back and te;l me what they said.

You do understand that gook is a racial slur which is against the forum rules that you impose upon others.

I'm not the confused one.

Even as labor market discrimination against Asian Americans has declined, studies show that institutional discrimination never disappeared. Asian job applicants with “whitened” first names received a 7 percent higher callback rate than those with “ethnically Asian” first names. Asian renters and home buyers are told about and shown fewer units than whites with the same economic background, and Asian home buyers are offered less financial help. Since 9/11, the New York Police Department has subjected Muslim Americans, many from Asia, to discriminatory religious profiling and unlawful surveillance.

Stop pointing at Asian Americans to downplay racism at universities

And this is why we should be allowed to post up entire articles. Read the entire article chump..

Charles Murray (Author of The Bell Curve) married an Asian woman and had two hapa children and this is the author of the most-cited white supremacist handbooks.

Irony is now the leaders of the Alt-Right are complaining about the growing number of Hapas attending their white nationalist conferences that their white supremacist fathers dragged them to.

You can't make it up lol

And instead of being mad at white supremacy, they are pissed that they are half Asian and starting hating on black people to raise their damaged self esteem.

So sure white supremacist may seem to give Asians a pass on the front end, but on the back end, Asians experience positive racism, to the white supremacist they are seen as good minorities who serve whites.

Blacks experience negative racism because we protest and have tried to improve our lot. We are seen as bad minorities. While Asians try to work harder despite the system, blacks try to change the system.

So to the white supremacist, Asians are like the good kid who obeys and blacks are like the bad kid who disobeys.

Whites pat Asians on the head for being good while they scold blacks for being bad and then tell blacks,”Why can’t you be more like Asians and just kiss our asses !!!!”

Study: Asians displace blacks as most economically divided group

Income inequality has been growing steadily among all Americans since the 1970s. But within racial groups, the gap between rich and poor is growing most rapidly among Asians in the U.S., according to a new study.

Asians continue to rank as the highest-earning racial and ethnic group in the U.S. on average, but the distribution of income among Asians has gone from being one of the most equal to being the most unequal among all major groups, according to new analysis by the Pew Research Center.

From 1970 to 2016, the gap between higher-earning Asians and lower-earning Asians has nearly doubled and Asians have displaced blacks as the most economically divided racial group in America.

The report found that the income gap between Americans near the top of income distribution (the 90th percentile, or those earning more than 90 percent of all Americans) and those closer to the bottom (the 10th percentile) grew 27 percent from 1970 to 2016. Those higher-earning Americans had 8.7 times as much income as lower-earning Americans in 2016.

But just among Asians in the U.S., that income gap grew 77 percent in the same time period as higher-earning Asians had 10.7 times the income of lower-earning Asians in 2016.

That is now higher than the income gap among blacks: Higher-earning blacks had 9.8 times the income of lower-earning blacks in 2016.

Stop pointing at Asian Americans to downplay racism at universities
By Sophie Khan and Huixian Li, opinion contributors

The U.S. Justice Department’s recent move to investigate Harvard’s affirmative action policy continues this country’s long history of pitting people of color against each other, in this case, Asians against African Americans and Latinos, to advance the interests of white Americans.

When the term “model minority” was coined in the New York Times in 1966 to describe Japanese Americans, the nation was awash with racial unrest and a growing movement against racial inequality. Soon after, U.S. News & World Report depicted Chinese Americans as “winning wealth and respect by dint of [their] own hard work.” Similar stories in Time, Fortune and Newsweek praised Asian American groups, building a narrative that undermined claims of institutional racism by African American civil rights leaders.

A half century later, little has changed. The model minority trope, typically applied to Asian Americans, is still trotted out to downplay racism and dismiss claims of white privilege.

But when the Asian American community is broken down into its respective ethnic groups, a drastically different picture emerges. The poverty rate among Nepalese Americans is 21 percent higher than the official poverty rate. Hmong Americans are 20 percent less likely to have a bachelor’s degree or more than the average American. In contrast, 70 percent of Indian Americans have at least a bachelor degree, and their average household income is 80 percent higher than the American average.

The myth continues to be used as evidence against institutional racism. If Asians can do well, it says, any minority group can, if they just apply themselves. But research suggests that the upward mobility of Asian Americans over the past century is actually a result of post-war declines in labor market discrimination against them as compared to other minorities. Meanwhile, restrictive immigration policies since 1965 have favored and attracted highly educated Asians to the United States. In contrast, most African Americans can trace their family history back to generations of slavery, followed by a century and a half of systematic racism.

Offering up an imaginary monolithic culture as the model for success is futile and dangerous. The model minority rhetoric ignores institutional racism against Asian Americans, not to mention fundamental differences in the history and current reality faced by other people of color, such as African Americans and Latinos. Ignoring these backstories enables society to shirk responsibility for the racial inequality that still exists today. Concrete policies like affirmative action can help us move beyond stereotypes and confront racism together.

Why do whites think they can speak to how things are for blacks?

White people are really confident that things are getting better for black people
By Tracy Jan


September 18, 2017

Americans, especially wealthy whites, vastly overestimate progress toward racial economic equality despite evidence of persistent gaps between black and white workers when it comes to hourly wages, annual income and household wealth, according to a new paper by Yale University researchers published Monday.

The study’s results are especially stunning in the wake of census data released last week that showed that African Americans were the only racial group still making less than they did in 2000.

The average black household made 60 percent of what white households made in 2016 and less than half of what Asians made, according to census data. For every $100 of wealth accumulated by a white family, a black family has little more than $5 -- a gap just as wide as it was 50 years ago, according to federal statistics cited by the Yale researchers.

[African Americans are the only racial group in U.S. still making less than they did in 2000]

Yet both black and white Americans of all income levels remain profoundly unaware of the economic inequality between the two groups, said the study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The misperceptions could negatively affect public policy as the country grows more diverse, researchers said, with politicians championing misguided legislation rooted in false impressions.

“This is evidence that our beliefs about racial progress and economic equality are fairly inconsistent with reality,” said Jennifer Richeson, a Yale psychology professor who co-wrote the study. “The magnitude of the misperception is shocking, and it’s an obstacle to actually achieving the progress that everyone seems to be celebrating.”

White people are really confident that things are getting better for black people

Get black parents to attend teacher's conferences, sign report cards, make sure their kids stay in school... Aint no magic "wage fairy" gonna fix gaps like that in education and skills...

Why don't go around looking for slackers and call the truant officer on them and stop bugging US as the "cause of your community issues" ????

You mean black parent singular. And that is the problem.


No way a single parent can meet all the demands of raising a child, as well as two parents can.

Even a large portion of two parent families are completely disengaged when it comes to raising their children these days.....that's why schools either are asked to or have to teach the kinds of things that used to automatically take place in the home....manners, hygiene, morals, empathy for others. Every teacher I know, and I have a lot in my family, verifies that most parents don't even want to be contacted by the school if their child has issues....some even talk of parents putting the school on phone block.

 

[bodecea]

A recent study by the ECONOMIC POLICY INSTITUTE, something you have not read, showed things have progressed little for blacks in the last 50 years. It states that in some cases things are even worse. This study provides a harrowing truth whites like you cannot face.

For example, information from this study shows that blacks are better educated now than 50 years ago. That 92.3 percent of all blacks have a high school diploma today as opposed to 54.4 percent 50 years ago. In 1968 the gap between blacks and whites with a high school diploma was 21 percentage points. That gap has been reduced to 3.3 percentage points. In 1968 9.1 percent of all blacks had a college degree. Now it is 22.8 percent. That’s nearly a 300 percent increase.

So when you have a clue please let me know

You suck because your sources suck. Largely because you seek out marginal or incomplete information that fits your revolution...

The Condition of Education - Preprimary, Elementary, and Secondary Education - High School Completion - Public High School Graduation Rates - Indicator May (2018)

Public High School Graduation Rates
(Last Updated: May 2018)
In school year 2015–16, the adjusted cohort graduation rate (ACGR) for public high school students was 84 percent, the highest it has been since the rate was first measured in 2010–11. In other words, more than four out of five students graduated with a regular high school diploma within 4 years of starting 9th grade. Asian/Pacific Islander students had the highest ACGR (91 percent), followed by White (88 percent), Hispanic (79 percent), Black (76 percent), and American Indian/Alaska Native (72 percent) students.

If your worshipped Dept of Ed is lying, fire their asses... Now graduation rates dont equal HS diplomas.. And it's POSSIBLE, not likely, that GEDs make up the diff... But a GED is a cheap do-over compared to dropping out...

With a $15/hour "living wage", you're gonna see HS grad rates sink further. Since WhyTFuck should they stay in school and bad homes when they can "live on their own"??? No one survives in the 21st century without a HS diploma...

My sources are just fine. I don't listen to whites like you.

Percentage of persons 25 to 29 years old with selected levels of educational attainment, by race/ethnicity and sex: Selected years, 1920 through 2017

Your stats are from 2015-15, mine 2017, And this is why I don't listen to what you have to say.

Got nothing to do with "my source".. This is the SAME fumbling govt agency.. Your problem is -- you're not listening to the details I gave you.. Footnote in THIS chart says that THIS chart INCLUDES GEDs or equivalents. Doesn't say WHEN the people chose to GET a GED.. So only 78% make it thru high school and 1/2 of the rest STUMBLE their asses thru maybe a DECADE of life UNTIL they decide to get a GED.. It's STILL inferior "education".. More of a participation trophy.. Represents only the MOST basic competency in the subjects. I know, I tutored GED for many years.

Get real. There are WAY TOO MANY low-skilled, unprepared black kids competing in a workforce with illegal immigrants that live 12 to a house. That's not a standard of living that will EVER have parity with other groups. And it aint nothing about racism or white privilege...

Bet you support all that open borders crap dontcha???

Get real, there are more low skilled whites than anyone else. Illegals are not the concern. And there are no open borders except for he northern one. And it is all about white privilege and racism.

Do you think the amount of unwed, young black women having to try and raise children in a single parent home over the decades has played ANY role in the under-achievement of black children because mom was too busy trying to support them to make sure that they studied and did their homework????

And what about all the unwed, young white women trying to raise children?

I could careless but we should protect them from democrats

 

[IM2]

The first post had someone talking about economic equality. My belief and many others, hold that it is the responsibility of the individual, black or white to earn their OWN economic position. This is where the discussions and arguments begin.

The arguments begin because whites did not earn their economic position. It's 2018 and it's time people stepped lying to themselves.

Blacks experience negative racism because we protest and have tried to improve our lot. We are seen as bad minorities.
