Two landmark studies released earlier this year concluded that mobility is worse in the U.S. than in many other developed countries, but has not changed significantly over time. Researchers found significant differences in mobility across the nation. Those who live in areas with higher economic growth, better schools and fewer African-American residents have a greater chance to climb the economic ladder.


umm.. What?!

 

[dank69]

Adjusted for poverty rates?

How much money did they waste figuring this out?

No worries, Asians are the fastest growing minority in the U.S. and will outnumber blacks before too long and fix the OP's problem once they start moving in.

old news, cnn needs to keep up

 

[Kadarin]

It's one thing to know the truth, it's another entirely to openly publish it.

Yeh, racism is still a powerful force, huh?

It doesn't take much brain power to ask the question-

Is the difference because of racial disparity or because of racism?

And it takes even less brain power to see that holding to the former merely supports the latter in that coy & covert style that modern racists seem to enjoy so very much.

many persecuted groups (Jews, Anglo-Irish, Calvinists) throughout history have become more successful than the Roman persecuters, so racism isnt at all why blacks are having trouble in these states united.

Comparing apples to aardvarks. Ethnicity/religion & race are not the same thing.

So, uhh, why is it that "blacks are having trouble in these states united"? Spell it out for us.

Hispanics are the fastest growing minority group in this country.

umm.. What?!

I would guess those who live in a neighborhood comprised of 100% blacks making over 75K/year would be more successful then a neighborhood of whites in bum fucking West Va. making under 20K.

It is racist to discuss facts.

Naah. Whitey Righties just reveal the racist undepinnings of what they believe in the process, therefore do best to avoid the subject entirely.

If you can't accept racism as causation for what is observed, then it must be something else, and that conclusion supports racism entirely in a nice tight circle of denial.

You can't just say it, of course, because to do so would be overtly racist. Better to follow the dictats of Lee Atwater.

That strategy still works just fine.

Calvinists and the Anglo-Irish (celtic/alpine, neanderthal) and members of the Roman Church before the 1500s (med, cro-magon) were not at all the same race as each other. and i would get in trouble if i answered your question so i am not going to. thank you for your reply

jhhnn i didnt mean to seem like a dickhead

Hispanics are the fastest growing minority group in this country.

Within the next 50 years the Hispanics will pass a referendum and change the name of our country to -- Estados Unidos de America!!!!

Is there a 100% black neighborhood where the median income is above $75K/yr?

I think the real culprit here is black ghetto culture that looks down upon education, hard work, and success as being "too white". (Outside of a few culture-approved methods, such as being a hip hop artist or athlete.)

Any high income mostly black neighboorhoods are going to be primarily populated by immigrant blacks who were educated in Africa. Certainly theres no black neighborhoods poulated by native blacks like you describe. If they ever existed it would have been before the 1960s and lyndon johnsons war on poverty and thr subsequent generations of the expansion of democrat welfare programs.

100% of course not. I doubt any place exists that's 100% any one race.


There's Ladera Heights here in LA.

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ladera_Heights,_California

The 2010 United States Census[7] reported that Ladera Heights had a population of 6,498. The population density was 2,191.1 people per square mile (846.0/km²). The racial makeup of Ladera Heights was 4,786 (73.7%) African American, 979 (15.1%) White (13.3% Non-Hispanic White),[8] 20 (0.3%) Native American, 231 (3.6%) Asian, 2 (0.0%) Pacific Islander, 134 (2.1%) from other races, and 346 (5.3%) from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 355 persons (5.5%).

According to the 2010 United States Census, Ladera Heights had a median household income of $97,568, with 4.3% of the population living below the federal poverty line. [9]

Regarding the topic title.

In other words, minorities are poor. News at 11?

 

[Londo_Jowo]

I guess this is why minorities are leaving the inner cities and moving to the suburbs in droves.

Didn't bother to actually read the article did you?

Those who live in areas with higher economic growth and better schools have a greater chance to climb the economic ladder. The studies also found that areas with large African-American populations, such as the South, have lower rates of mobility for all residents.

How's life in that sack of yours? Getting along ok with the other hammers?

 

[Zaap]

^ How does that answer his question?

 

[Knowing]

"The main lesson of this analysis is that both blacks and whites living in areas with large African-American populations have lower rates of upward income mobility...
More racially segregated areas have less upward mobility."
"These results suggest that the isolation of low-income families (rather than the isolation of the rich) may be most detrimental for low income children's prospects of moving up in the income distribution."
"These results are consistent with the view that the negative impacts of [income] segregation may operate by making it more difficult to reach jobs or other resources that facilitate upward mobility."

"Interestingly, areas with a larger black population exhibit greater income segregation... Hence, the negative relationship between income segregation and upward mobility could partly explain why low-income white children fare more poorly in areas with large African-American populations."

"Following Reardon and Bischoff (2011), we define the 'segregation of poverty' as H(p = 25), i.e. the extent to which individuals in the bottom quartile are segregated from those above the 25th percentile... Segregation of poverty has a strong negative association with upward mobility, whereas segregation of affluence does not."

So the problem is that no one wants to live near poor people. Further, blacks that aren't poor want even less to live near poor people than average. I don't see how any of these facts are racist, but they do seem to strongly buttress statements made by recognized African Americans about the self inflicted plight of blacks and provide a mathematical measurement of the crab mentality.
