Sorry Clay. This finding doesn't make me feel like I am in my safe space. I am going to go curl up in fetal position in the corner of a dark room somewhere, close my eyes tight and (with my fingers in my ears) rock back and forth, chanting "It's okay... I don't have to believe any of those bad liberals. this is all just fake news."

Many young (white) Americans here have negative net worth. They typically have $100k student loan and rent an apartment.

I read also how much below the average income blacks in Seattle are compared to the overall population and they are not moving up with the rest of the area population. Both super liberal cities, what's going on?
That's how Democrats take care of voters they know won't ever vote against them, no matter what.

The New England states are the most racist.

Only 403 people were surveyed. Not convincing.

Additionally, where is the cut off for who is considered Caribbean, Puerto Rican or Dominican? How many generations before one is considered a U.S. Black?

Then the title of the article says “black Bostonians.” This is not true. It should say African-American Bostonians based on the article. One minute Afro-Caribbean people, Africans and others are black and the next minute they are not. Are they not considered black Bostonians? The article is as poor as the study.

I guess if we implement the Democrat policies of Boston across the nation, we can have a similar result nationally.

Marietta might gobble them up too. Marietta is going on its own round of gentrification. Paulding County has become another place where the priced out are moving too.

Dominicans, Jamaicans, Haitians, Hondurans and Africans practice in group economics like most immigrants. Thus such ethnic groups can weather the storm of income inequality. Black Americans are no different than white Americans and black Americans practice individual economics, where in a capitalist society most fall to the bottom, and only a few can remain afloat. Economically, blacks from Latin America, the Caribbean and Africa are far more successful than Black Americans these days. This is the reason why Cornell University black American populace held a campaign to reduce black immigrants from attending the university in favor of Black Americans. Also black Americans should start working together with white Americans. Instead of blaming victimization and sjwism on every corner, if immigrants is the reason why you cant succeed in America, work with white America to reduce immigration.
