LECTURE 2 ON RACE By Prof Brown In most categories measuring the quantity and quality of life – life expectancy, wealth, employment, disease, educational attainment, quality of neighborhood , and others - Black people are statistically or on average “inferior” to white people. That doesn’t mean every white person has a longer life than every Black person , but rather on average it is so; same with the other categories mentioned. <
HOWEVER, THIS IS NOT DUE TO ANY INHERENT OR BIOLOGICAL OR MORAL OR CULTURAL INFERIORITY OF BLACK PEOPLE. RATHER IT IS THE RESULT OF GENERATIONS OF WHITE SUPREMACIST ENSLAVEMENT, JIM CROW ANDD REAGANITE OPPRESSION AND EXPLOITATION OF BLACK PEOPLE, IT IS UNJUST LY ND ILLEGITIMATELY SEIZED WHITE “SUPREMACY”, WHITE MORAL INFERIORITY
Following are articles on the life expectancy and wealth statistics.
LIFE EXPECTANCY At birth, AIAN and Black people had a shorter life expectancy compared to White people, and AIAN, Hispanic, and Black people experienced larger declines in life expectancy than White people between 2019 and 2021. Life expectancy at birth represents the average number of years a group of infants would live if they were to experience throughout life the age-specific death rates prevailing during a specified period. Provisional data from 2021 show that overall life expectancy across all racial/ethnic groups was 76.1 years (Figure 14). Life expectancy for Black people was only 70.8 years compared to 76.4 years for White people and 77.7 years for Hispanic people. It was highest for Asian people at 83.5 years and lowest for AIAN people who had a life expectancy of 65.2 years. Life expectancies were even lower for Black and AIAN males, at 66.7 and 61.5 years, respectively. Data were not available for NHOPI people. Overall life expectancy declined by 2.7 years between 2019 and 2021, with AIAN people experiencing the largest life expectancy decline of 6.6 years, followed by Hispanic and Black people (4.2 and 4.0 years, respectively), and a smaller decline of 2.4 years for White people. Asian people had the smallest decline in life expectancy of 2.1 years between 2019 and 2021. These declines largely reflect an increase in excess deaths due to COVID-19, which disproportionately impacted Black, Hispanic, and AIAN people.

The Lancet: Disparities in life expectancy persist among racial and ethnic groups across the US New study offers the first comprehensive, county-level life expectancy estimates in the US and highlights important differences among racial and ethnic groups. The analysis reveals that despite overall life expectancy gains of 2.3 years (from 76.8 years in 2000 to 79.1 years in 2019) during the 20-year study period (2000–2019), disparities among racial and ethnic groups remain, with Black populations still experiencing shorter life expectancy than White populations.
Life expectancy among the American Indian/Alaska Native population did not improve during the study period. During the last 10 years of the study (2010–2019), life expectancy growth was stagnant across all races and ethnicities, setting the stage for declines in life expectancy that have been reported since the COVID-19 pandemic. The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation’s interactive data visualization tool shows the life expectancy trends by racial and ethnic group in 3,110 counties in the 20-year span of the study.
How the racial wealth gap has evolved—and why it persists New dataset identifies the causes of today’s wealth gap
October 3, 2022 AUTHORLisa Camner McKayWriter/Analyst, Institute
Jake MacDonald/Minneapolis Fed Article Highlights New dataset tracks evolution of racial wealth gap from 1860 to 2020 Racial wealth gap today is legacy of vastly unequal wealth for Black and White Americans following Civil War Racial wealth gap has been stagnant for last 40 years due to differences in Black and White households’ wealth portfolios How the racial wealth gap has evolved—and why it persists
“He felt his poverty; without a cent, without a home, without land, tools, or savings, he had entered into competition with rich, landed, skilled neighbors. To be a poor man is hard, but to be a poor race in a land of dollars is the very bottom of hardships.” —W. E. B. Du Bois, The Souls of Black Folk
The dawn of emancipation in the United States saw 4 million former slaves, 90 percent of the Black American population, gain their freedom. But they did so in poverty, as Du Bois describes: A few years prior, they had been counted as wealth, earning and owning nothing in their own name.
After emancipation, proposals to provide former slaves with land so they could survive economically were largely defeated. Thus in 1870, the wealth gap between Black and White Americans was a staggering 23 to 1. That's equivalent to just $4 of wealth for Black Americans for every $100 for White Americans.
“We wanted to see if there was something to be learned for policy: Do we see that certain periods were particularly good, particularly bad in terms of convergence? What conclusions can we draw from that?” —MORITZ KUHN
Fast forward 150 years and that gap has narrowed to about 6 to 1—and yet, a significant gap remains: average per capita wealth of White Americans was $338,093 in 2019 but only $60,126 for Black Americans.
In the new Institute working paper “Wealth of Two Nations: The U.S. Racial Wealth Gap, 1860–2020,” former Institute visiting scholar Ellora Derenoncourt and colleagues Chi Hyun Kim, Moritz Kuhn, and Moritz Schularick study the evolution of the Black-White racial wealth gap to understand how it has changed and what forces drove those changes.
“We wanted to see if there was something to be learned for policy: Do we see that certain periods were particularly good, particularly bad in terms of convergence? What conclusions can we draw from that?” Kuhn said about one motivation the author team had for undertaking the research. Drawing on numerous historical resources, the economists construct a new dataset that fills in around 100 years of missing wealth data, from the 1880s to the 1980s, when modern surveys of wealth began. They then use a model of wealth accumulation to investigate the sources of the wealth gap. So where does wealth come from? Yesterday’s wealth, mostly. Unlike income, which can change quickly—lose a job, take a new job—wealth builds slowly from interest on previous wealth and new savings from income. For that reason, “it takes a lot of time to build wealth and to close an existing wealth gap, especially if the world around you is not stopping to accumulate wealth,” Kuhn said.
The economists’ analysis suggests that, more than 150 years after the end of slavery, today’s racial wealth gap is the legacy of very different wealth conditions after emancipation. While the White-Black income gap has narrowed over time, differences in Black and White Americans’ capital gains rates and savings rates throughout history have slowed the convergence (closing the gap) between Black and White wealth.
The result: An enduring wealth gap that shows no sign of resolving. “It was interesting for us to see how extremely persistent the racial wealth gap is. We saw a lot of things changing in the U.S. economy in the last 70 years, but the racial wealth gap seems to be pretty ignorant of all that,” Kuhn observed. Evolution of the racial wealth gap Tracing 150 years of the racial wealth gap1 reveals rapid early progress followed by frustrating stagnation (Figure 1). Dawn of emancipation: 1870 to 1900 The thirty years following emancipation saw rapid narrowing of the racial wealth gap, falling from a ratio of 56 to 1 in 1860 on the eve of the Civil War to 23 to 1 in 1870 following emancipation and 11 to 1 in 1900. (In 2019 dollars, that comes to average wealth of $34,000 for a White American and $3,100 for a Black American.) White slaveholders’ loss of slaves as “wealth” explains about a quarter of this convergence. The rest was due to a higher wealth accumulation rate for Black Americans than White Americans.
This convergence, however, is more a matter of statistics than reflection of meaningful economic or political change. Because Black Americans’ wealth was so low in 1870, even small gains translated to big percent increases in wealth and thus large reductions in the wealth gap, even though the difference in the amount of average wealth held by Black Americans and White Americans remained large.
Unfortunately, an early period of rapid wealth convergence was relatively short lived. Proposals to redistribute property to former slaves ultimately failed, and early enforcement of Black Americans’ rights were similarly reversed.
Unfortunately, this period of rapid convergence was relatively short-lived. Proposals to redistribute property to former slaves, such as General William Sherman’s field order allowing freed slaves to establish 40-acre farms on federal land, ultimately failed to garner sufficient political support, and early enforcement of Black Americans’ rights were similarly reversed. By 1900, a racist economic and social order was largely restored.
Racist resurgence: 1900 to 1930 Between 1900 and 1930, the racial wealth gap narrowed tepidly, at a rate around 0.3 percent a year. During this period, Black Americans’ share of national wealth stayed fairly constant, at 1 percent (Figure 2). “Barriers to Black economic progress were pervasive in the post-Reconstruction era,” the economists observe. For instance, Black Americans had limited access to financial institutions or credit; they had little opportunity to purchase land; they experienced the violent destruction of their property; they faced widespread discrimination in education and the labor market. In the South, the vast majority of Black farmers were renters or sharecroppers in an economic system that hindered Black workers’ economic progress because White landlords were able to capture their tenants’ improvements to the land simply by not renewing the lease.
Global upheaval: 1930 to 1960 Wealth convergence picked back up modestly during this period, and by 1960 the gap was 8 to 1. (In 2019 dollars, that translates to average wealth of $76,000 for White Americans and $9,000 for Black Americans.) A closer look at the timing reveals this does not appear to be the result of New Deal economic relief or new social insurance policies, which tended to exclude sectors with large representations of Black workers. Rather, labor market dynamics around the time of World War II led to Black workers moving into higher-paying occupations, notably related to war production and defense, which reduced the racial income gap and led to greater gains in Black Americans’ wealth. This movement was facilitated by President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Executive Order 8802, which banned “discrimination in the employment of workers in defense industries or government because of race, creed, color, or national origin.”
Civil rights: 1960 to 1980 The civil rights movement was responsible for the fastest period of racial wealth convergence since 1900. Tireless efforts by Black activists to demand equal rights and protections led to the passage of numerous laws that reduced social, political, and economic discrimination, including the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Rights Act of 1965, the Fair Housing Act of 1968, and expansions to the Fair Labor Standards Act, which sets federal minimum wage policies.
These legislations helped narrow the racial income gap, which in turn narrowed the wealth gap; it fell from 8 to 1 in 1960 to 5 to 1 in 1980. Figure 2 shows that Black Americans’ share of national wealth started increasing more rapidly in 1960 even as the total U.S. population of Black Americans was also increasing.
Stagnation: 1980 to 2020 And then—convergence stopped. In the 40 years between 1980 and 2020, the racial wealth gap actually increased by the equivalent of 0.1 percent a year. The reasons for this stagnation are discussed in the section “A widening gap: The role of capital gains” below. Unequal initial wealth, unequal wealth accumulation The next step in the economists' research is to analyze the causes of the racial wealth gap. To do this, they engage in a thought experiment: What if Black and White Americans started with the radically different levels of wealth in 1870 that they did in real life, but their wealth accumulation rates were identical after that? The resulting wealth gap in 2020 would be about 3 to 1 ($100 dollars of White wealth for every $33 dollars of Black wealth). That’s about half of what the actual wealth gap is today, suggesting that unequal levels of wealth in 1870 are a major source of today’s racial wealth gap.
The fact that today’s racial wealth gap is larger than it would be under this optimistic scenario is due to unequal wealth accumulation rates, which of course haven’t been identical for White and Black Americans, as the brief history above of political and economic exclusion makes plain.
Wealth accumulation can be described as a fairly straightforward equation. It starts with yesterday’s wealth and the interest earned on that wealth (capital gains rate). Add to that new savings from income, which is the product of yesterday’s income level, how much income has changed (income growth rate), and how much of that income is saved (savings rate).
While historical data on these rates is difficult to come by, since at least 1950, White Americans have enjoyed a higher average savings rate and capital gains rate than Black Americans (see Table 1). Table 1. White and Black Americans' savings and capital gains rates
Source: Derenoncourt, Kim, Kuhn, and Schularick, “Wealth of Two Nations: The U.S. Racial Wealth Gap, 1860-2020.” White Americans (%) Black Americans (%) Average savings rate 5.0 3.9 Average capital gains rate 1.0 0.8 What drove wealth convergence, then? The income growth rate. The economists estimate that the average annual income growth rate for Black Americans was larger than that of White Americans from 1870 to about 1980. At that point, income convergence stalled; over the last 40 years, the annual income growth rates for Black and White Americans have been essentially the same. A widening gap: The role of capital gains Now that income convergence has stalled, the difference in the capital gains rate experienced by Black and White households is the main factor pushing their wealth apart. The role of capital gains is particularly important here. The high rate of return to capital holdings over the last 40 years—economic parlance for “stocks have really gone up a lot”—is a leading cause of the wealth dispersion in the United States today. According to analysis by economist Emmanuel Saez and others, wealth has become significantly more concentrated during this period: In 1980, the richest 0.1 percent of Americans—about 160,000 households—owned 7.7 percent of national wealth. In 2020, they owned 18.5 percent. “Given that there are so few Black households at the top of the wealth distribution,” Derenoncourt and co-authors write, “faster growth in wealth at the top will lead to further increases in racial wealth inequality.” And that’s what’s happening now. On average between 1950 and 2010, Black households held about 7 percent of their wealth in stock equity; among White households, it was 18 percent (Table 2). The portfolios of White households are also more diversified than Black households, which are concentrated in housing wealth. Housing has appreciated since the 1950s, but stock equity has appreciated five times as much. Table 2. White and Black households' wealth portfolio composition Note: Equity refers to wealth in stocks and mutual funds. Liquid assets include cash, checking accounts, and savings accounts. Other nonfinancial assets include household items like cars or boats. Source: Survey of Consumer Finances 2019 and calculations by Derenoncourt, Kim, Kuhn, and Schularick. White households (%) Black households (%) Housing 38 59 Business 24 13 Equity 18 7 Liquid assets 17 13 Other nonfinancial assets 3 8 “At a more general level,” Kuhn stated, “this research emphasizes how important portfolio choice and investment behavior is. It’s not only about putting money aside, but where you put it.” <
Racist" = "WHITE" supremacist We use "white supremacist "rather than "racist" because the white supremacists have reversed the meaning of the venerable sixties rhetorical term "racist" in the public dialogue to use it mainly to slander Black people as "racist" or "reverse racist." Hopefully , "white supremacist" will be more difficult to twist. Aubery : "Charles, spoken like a person who understands what the word "racist" actually means. Some Caucasians would like people to believe that People of Color can be racists. Not true. This, in my opinion, is merely another deflection tactic. I suppose it is spawned by guilt and shame, but nevertheless, it does not change the meaning of the word. In order for one to be RACIST one would have to wield power, control over governing bodies and institutions. We know that it is Caucasians who have this control. Certainly, some People of Color may be biased, prejudiced or bigots, just as anyone else in society. IThank you for understanding the importance of language." /// CB: Hell no there is not Black privilege in America. Jerry : "Why not?" CB: It's a white supremacist society , meaning Black people are second class citizens . And no Obama getting elected Prez doesn't refute that . In fact , Obama was treated like a second class President, more proof of the claim. Jerry : Charles Brown, so you you can’t move to any neighbor your money can take you? You can’t just walk into an Apple store and make a purchase with being told you’re not welcome? You can’t go to any school your grades take you? CB: Those things don't come close to making up for all the white supremacy . In every statistical category of quantity and quality of life -life expectancy , wealth/ income , health, educational attainment , living in raggedy neighborhoods , et al. -white people are superior ( thus white supremacy/ Black lack of privilege) on average. That's the result of a white supremacist society never equalized since slavery. White supremacy was passed on through inheritance to the present. Thus , we live in a white supremacist society , still - the exact opposite of Black privilege . It is in the definition of white supremacy that it oppresses Red , Yellow Brown, and Black workers ; it's obvious. What is not obvious is that white supremacy ultimately keeps white workers chained , too. That's the hard one for most white workers to get since on the surface white supremacy gives white workers an advantage over other nationalities . But it prevents the workers from uniting and fighting the Bourgeoisie. Importantly, the lie is white supremacy. The races based on skin color were established by Europeans over the last 500 years of conquering the globe with white as superior to all other colors, and ruling over them by force of arms. https://radicaldiscipleship.net/2017/07/05/white-supremacy-overt-covert/ Wolves in sheep's clothing: victimizers pretending to be victims.

Randa : "I do not care what you call it - White supremacy Nazis White devil Ku Klux Klan Forked-tongued serpent spirit of antichrist If you have eyes and ears you should be able to see and hear it for what it is." Skin color is inborn , but not correlated with the poor traits white supremacy claims it is. The richer wealth associations with white skin are economic , political and historical , not genetic. Got to look to history , not biology as to why white people have more money on average. That's pretty much the whole story of race difference. Bad biology was used for fraud about race for a couple of centuries coming from white supremacist "biologists". "Caucasian Mountains is an inaccurate location of "white" origin.

That's one of the really twisted forms of racism , Penelope. The hate of the victims of white supremacy for white supremacists is righteous indignation ; and it's morally and politically superior to Instagram's white supremacist community standards . white supremacy is a dominate force in this society. Black bias against white people is a response to the enormous oppression and exploitation of Black people for the entire history of the US up to the present. It is defensive and self-protective. The minority of white people who voted for Obama did strike a historic blow against racism , like the white Union Army soldiers in the Civil War. But like Jim Crow after the end of slavery , the white majority took steps backward in electing the openly racist Trump; as when the racist Reagan was elected going backward from the Civil Rights movement gains. There's this zig-zag pattern wherein when gains against racism and for equality are made , a majority of whites take it back some. The FRONTlashs from the beginning have been by whites . The Black people do BACKlash, which is not morally equivalent of the FRONTlash, and definitely doesn't justify another FRONTlash by whites. To deny that white people are racist is what's horrible and disgusting" /// Someone had said : "Charles Brown I disagree. Racism against white people is just as bad as racism against black people. They're both wrong and are not borne out by the facts. I worked for President Obama in 2008 and 2012. If it weren't for white people, he would not have won anything. There simply weren't enough black votes to elect him. So to call these white people racist is horrible and disgusting. It white people are racists, then the black racism against whites justifies it. It polarizes America. That's not good. Just like Bernie Sanders. 80% of the white people I work with are like you. I voted for Bernie, but he's white chauvinist in pandering to the racist industrial workers . Obama saved all the autoworker AND steel workers' jobs when he saved the auto companies. Trade deals do NOT harm industrial jobs anywhere near what the trade union propaganda claims. The steel and auto workers were looking for an excuse to hate Obama because they are racists . Bernie pandered to that white supremacy. 2015: "As we say, that white boy busted the cop wide open. Only white people can end white supremacy, cause white people will only listen to white people generally, mostly, majorly, white supremely . And the end of white supremacy is in the first place, a change in the conduct of white people; they will listen to other white people before they will listen to Black people about changing.<
