well, Tulsa had the largest "black" economy in the country...possibly the world, since by this time AFrica had been Euro'ed
Basically the street was a BLACK WALL STREET, with tons of business and well to do people...the whites were jealous since most of them were struggling, and BURNED THE FUCKIN PLACE DOWN...
Things like that have greatly affected the economic status of blacks...(i'm white y'all, so don't get it twisted like i'm just saying this to get over) so besides INDIVIDUAL racism, (two equally skilled people and the Non-Ethnic being chosen...i think this is less of a problem today, at least in places like the bay area) you have a people who have almost NO OPTION...where's the 40 Acres and A Mule?
you know blacks weren't allowed to buy houses in the bay area in the 50's in MOST NEIGHBORHOODS?
if they wanted to live in San Francisco they basically had to live in the projects...when you have high density poverty is has an effect on people...WHITE BLACK ASIAN WHATEVER....i just so happens blacks have had the worst treatment in american history...no other race(besides the italian, irish and jewish immigrants of the 20's in New YOrk) has had that kind of trouble...
we have to give those who need it a head start now...when you have a Race, and one kids falls down...you don't just start another race without picking him up and bringing him to the front of the line with everyone else first do you?
i'm rambling, but i'm high as fuck...i'll dig up some articles later
