Stats on Black Inequality

A comrade in my branch asked me to assemble some stats on Black inequality today, so here it is.

Jonathon Kozol on educational apartheid in America.

Glenn Ford on the how the sub-prime crisis has affected Black folks.

Pam Oliver's page on racial disparities in incarceration.

Campaign to End the Death Penalty fact sheet on the racist death penalty.

Kellie Middleton on racism in the health care system.

Jared Bernstein from Economic Policy Institute on Black/White wealth and income inequality.

YWCA report on residential segregation. Notable statistic: 41% of African-Americans live in areas which are described as "hyper-segregated." This report is basically a distillation of the longer 2006 Fair Housing Trends Report, available here.
