Black Americans are much poorer than White Americans, yet racial discrimination by the state, and by almost all private entities, has been illegal for over 40 years. Why are Black Americans still so poor, especially in comparison to Asian Americans, who often faced similar discrimination, often started from equally humble backgrounds, yet are comparatively richer? This mystery is compounded by the fact that Asian Americans often did not have the advantage of coming from backgrounds that emphasized Christianity or capitalism.
Possible Reasons
Affirmative Action
Affirmative Action trains people to think they are not good enough to earn things on their own.
Abortion
Not only is Abortion an expensive form of birth control (especially compared to abstinence), but it also leads people to devalue human life. Why bother to work for success if your life isn't worth anything anyway?
Crime
Liberal courts have been soft on crime. Prison thus fails to act as a deterrent to those tempted to crime and fails to keep determined criminals off the street. Instaed, they are released on technicalities, only to prey on Black Americans.
