“Average Black household net worth now is 15.6% that of White households. In 1989, it was 17.8%.”
Median household net worth would be a better measure.
It would be stupid for a low-income black household to have $4000 in the bank and lose out on $4000/year in SNAP benefits.
Millions of black households know how to take advantage of the welfare system.
Sending auto industry jobs to Mexico has badly hurt black male adults in the Midwest.
