Being poor has nothing to do with it. Having a crappy life has nothing to do with it.

No it doesn't give me resentment because 90% of the time (and trust me that is a pretty accurate statistic) I will get a job easier than the black man will.

 

Hooray.  You'll get a job at Wal-mart easier while the black person will get to go to college and get a real job.  I'm sure that will be a big comfort.

 

No kasz, that 90% applies to school application as well as everything else.

  Black men earned about 78 cents on the dollar for every dollar white men earn. Black women earn about people earn 68 cents for every dollar white people earn (these figures are lower depending on where you look).

(source is not exactly a peer-reviewed journal, but I can assure you this is the reality)

 

Funny thing about that.

It doesn't account for socioeconomic differences.

In this case... mostly sociological.
