Go look at earlier posts I made, from other threads, and you'll see what I mean.

Here is one statistic. In 1983, Black unemployment was at 20%, while White unemployment was at 5%

Time to give up your delusion.

Time to give up your delusion.
Another fine demonstration of your usual tone deaf way of blowing past posts and merely reposting the same thing again and again and again. Green Mariner is talking about the unemployment rate, and you come back with the wealth gap. Most likely you think the two are one and the same.

I have some bad news for you, the wealth gap has increased exponentially for all Americans, not just for blacks. Those at the bottom of the income ladder always feel it the worst, but unless you are in the top one percent, white America hasn't done any better since the Reagan era in that regard.

Of course, you will probably just repost your little link again in response to this post, which is fine. I just wanted to set the record straight. I won't bother to tell you it's time for you to give up your delusions. That would be pointless.

Think about that really hard. Use your critical thinking skills.

The White/Black wealth gap tripled since Reagan, and doubled during Obama's Admin.

But, hey, yeah... keep voting for Democrats. How's that working out for Blacks?

Obama's policies have benefited which group? Blacks? No. The middle class? No. The top 0.1%? You bet! So, why did you vote for him?

Why did you vote for a corporatist hell-bent on enriching the already rich? That was completely idiotic!

Yeah, no one saw this link the last few times you posted it. It doesn't change the fact that the wealth gap in white America has grown equally as wide. So go ahead, repost the same link again and pretend that the wealth gap isn't obscene for every single one one of us down here in the 99%. But you can talk to yourself, I have better things to do than waste any more time on you parroting the same thing again and again.

No, it isn't. White wealth is 22 times that of Black wealth. Used to be an 11 times difference until Obama. Don't you read the data?
