"Atlanta is well known as a leading site of the Black middle class and has long been a cultural hub of the Black South. But despite political and cultural gains that have led to the city’s “Wakanda” reputation, Atlanta is also home to a very stark racial wealth divide, according to a new report authored by Alex Camardelle and Jarryd Bethea on behalf of the nonprofit Atlanta Wealth Building Initiative.
Citing an Urban Institute dataset, Camardelle and Bethea point out that while the median wealth of a White household in Atlanta is $238,355, the median wealth of a Black household is $5,180. In other words, the median White family in Atlanta has 46 times the wealth of the median Black family. This is far more extreme than the national average, where median White household wealth is 12.5 times as great as Black wealth ($194,000 versus $15,500). According to census data, Atlanta leads the nation in income inequality.
Why is this? In their report, titled Building a Beloved Economy: A Baseline and Framework for Building Black Wealth in Atlanta, Camardelle and Bethea outline the drivers of wealth inequality—and why leaders in the city that’s “too busy to hate” have failed to adequately address class and racial inequality.
In particular, the authors contend that “race-neutral policies have reproduced rather than mitigated inequities in Atlanta and across the South.” That is to say, deference to the Atlanta corporate elite—Atlanta is home, the authors note, to 30 Fortune 1000 companies—in the absence of specific policies to reduce the racial wealth divide has perpetuated inequality. Changing this trajectory, the authors add, requires an approach that is “race-explicit and holistic,” centered in “Black community wealth.”
Those same race explicit approaches and agendas you and the Dems refuse to discuss. Black middle class in this country wasnt doing well enough for us to continue the status quo just to maintain the measly returns. Id rather more black people make less money,yet be more comfortable,stress free and able to lead productive lives.
" talk. Obviously they threw together that hail mary "Plan for black men" ,essentially handing us a Hopsins menu when we asked to see the warrant
.....There has always been an economic war on the Black American people, and it does not matter who is in office, Black Americans are the last to benefit from these "Minority" programs.
