Seperate and not equal ...

On NPR's Talk of the Nation today they discussed a recent study that shows that the income gap between white and black America has grown over the past three decades.

While white children typically end up better off than their parents, the same is not necessarily true for blacks. The Brookings Institute conducted a study that shows that in 1974 median incomes for black families was 63 percent of white families, but in 2004 it was just 58 percent. It is worse, not better.
