@SteveRoth All those Clinton SOTUs about a rising tide lifting all boats, and taking especial pride in black-community progress. and with some reason! here's a graph labeled (correctly enough, "White wealth surges; black wealth stagnates" but that stagnation is relative to whites. over the 1990s there's very substantial growth (later undone) https://archive.is/thnvI Here's b/w wage gaps ballooning since Y2K, esp since 2007. https://www.epi.org/blog/black-white-wage-gaps-are-worse-today-than-in-2000/

@SteveRoth And of course there's the classic piece on Black wealth destruction over the financial crisis by @ryanlcooper and #MattBruenig https://www.peoplespolicyproject.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Foreclosed.pdf Bruenig also had a great piece showing that while the other races were already neoliberal, the middle-class-heavy precrisis black community had an unusually nordic wealth (i think) distribution, until the crisis destroyed the middle and neoliberalified the black wealth distribution too.

@SteveRoth @ryanlcooper (i'm looking but haven't found that one yet.)

@SteveRoth @ryanlcooper (my cheeky use of "nordic" to mean egalitarian is particularly ill-placed here, since in private wealth terms rather than income or some benefits-inclusive wealth measure, the nordics aren't particularly egalitarian.)
