Are you just trying to get by? So how do you feel when you hear that the average black family would have to work 228 years to build the wealth of the average white family today? And if something doesn’t change, that gap will worsen. If you think that doesn’t impact you, guess again. Whatever our race or gender, most of us focus on our own struggles, feeling we have to fight for ourselves, even if we care about others. So how can we admit that slavery and institutional racism have created virtually insurmountable obstacles for blacks, and Hispanics are also losing out? Our security would feel threatened. But when we realize that we’re all impacted by the race gap, we see that we can’t afford not to fight for one another. Our guests are among the co-authors of a new study showing that there is a growing income gap between blacks, Hispanics and whites. They are here to share the facts and we are here to talk about how all income inequality affects us all. Whatever your race, join us!
