the National Urban League has issued it's annual State of Black America report.
We ought to take a moment to meditate on the ongoing income disparities here in America and such policy solutions as may be proposed in the pending Presidential campaign. Wages are flat, benefits on the decline, Unionism are a thing of the past... long ago in the Kerner Commission Report made a dire prophecy of two Americas seperate and unequal divided by a the gap of economic opportunity, that prediction has become our reality.
So at least let us start with that notion.
All of this comes down hard on Black America (hell what doesn't?)but it's a problem that resonates all over the polity.
