Because the person who offered person C didn't sign an affidavit stating they did it for racist reasons, it couldn't possibly have anything to do with race. The fact that the same disparity that was always there is still there couldn't possibly have anything to do with it.
I'm just pointing out the obvious; if there are a higher percentage of person C living in states where the pay and cost of living is lower compared to person A; that needs to be taken into the equation before shouting racism.
It makes the news because it almost never happens man bites dog etc. It's out of the ordinary.
They also had a private army that strongarmed a group of people out of their own country. When the panthers tried to police their own communities, they were branded terrorists and all of the leadership was either arrested or assassinated.
No that's what you want to convince me of. Black people cause their own disparity instead of the racist disparity that always existed still exists.
I don't know what you're looking at but keep dreaming. Whatever allows you to remain comfortable in your privilege.
Across various levels of education, a significant black–white wage gap remains. Even black workers with an advanced degree experience a significant wage gap compared with their white counterparts. And after controlling for age, gender, education, and region, black workers are paid 14.9% less than white workers.

It is where you stated, " But just counting CBC members, 25% of the US population is twice the percentage of black people in this country (13%). No other race in the history of this country has ever had that much representative power in proportion to population; and if you count the members who are not CBC members, it is even more! IMO To suggest there aren’t enough black members of congress is as absurd as suggesting there aren’t enough black men in the NBA; black people have plenty of political power in this country."
I have the 2020 US census which details that African American women earn 58% of the salary of white men with the same job, the same education and the same experience.

I guess 14.9% isn't that bad. Could it be that there is a disparity because there always has been one? Noh, not even within the realm of possibility right? Whatever makes you feel cozy I guess.
Black-white wage gaps are worse today than in 2000
This week, my colleagues hosted a discussion on the policies that the 2020 presidential candidates should focus on in order to help black workers in the economy. One of the challenges that the presidential candidates should discuss is how to reduce the black–white wage gap—which has stubbornly...
there is no way that can be true because it would destroy these people's cozy little life view that life is fair and equal for everyone.
Yes, they do, read the stats. I know it can hurt to have your whole life view destroyed but blacks get paid less because they always have been paid less for doing the same jobs. When one has no clue about a topic one shouldn't comment on it. If one has no experience in an area of life, they should just try to learn more about it. If one has never felt the sting of racism do they really have any place to comment on what they have no experience of?
I'm glad to see you admit that inequality should be the norm. Who should be on top though That's right white men.
In your personal word view that's correct. It's a blow to one's self-esteem to know that you may have have a little extra help.
If you felt the sting of it you would know the truth. You never will. You can only lean on your privilege. Is it comfy? Probably.
Wow, the precision that you require for debate-level hypotheticals almost seem like factors that could be filtered out when the authors of the statistical analysis did their work…which, come to think of it, they did. Putting out a shoddy report probably means that’s the only kind one does and they are probably not a “successful researcher”.
