Margaret Kimberley of the Black Agenda Report writes, "The racial economic gap is growing, with whites moving ahead more quickly than blacks. Even more damning to African-American prospects, a new study shows that nearly half the children of the black "middle class" are worse off than their parents. Decades of accumulated, systemic assaults on black upward mobility are definitively taking their toll, making a lie of the vaunted "American Dream." There is no mystery behind the disaster: "If big business destroys entire industries that provide well paid employment, poverty is not far behind. If black people are targeted for prison, low marriage rates and lower incomes will be the result."
