Report: No progress for African Americans on homeownership, unemployment and incarceration in 50 years

In order to study the cause of civil unrest in the black community, the President's Committee announced a report in 1968 that led to a clear conclusion: the United States has two societies, blacks and whites - towards separation and inequality It is moving.

The historical Kernner committee identified "whiteism" as "the main cause of ubiquitous" 50 years later

Regarding homeownership, unemployment and imprisonment, the United States has failed to make any progress for African Americans in the last 50 years. In these areas, their situation has not improved or is getting worse compared to whites. The black unemployment rate in 2017 is 7.5%, rising from 6.7% in 1968, still about twice the white people unemployment rate. The black house ownership rate in 2015 was slightly above 40%, but it has hardly changed since 1968. Between 1968 and 2016, the percentage of African Americans in prisons or prisons has nearly tripled, now more than six times that of white houses.

After 50 years of the Kerner Committee, African-Americans are in good condition in many respects, but they are still disadvantageous due to racial inequality.

High racial discrimination and racial discrimination in recruitment brought about high unemployment among African Americans. Since 1968, the unemployment rate of African-American continues to be twice that of white Americans. If African-Americans are unemployed, there is a high possibility of losing jobs for a long time. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, in 2016, African Americans accounted for 26% of the long-term unemployed (over 27 weeks of unemployment), the US workforce was only 12%.

Furthermore, the recent gold anniversary on the day of civil rights is particularly irritated. A half century has passed since the report of the Nauna Committee and Martin Luther King, but the news on the heading of the Washington Post stated as follows. "Since I am from an activist's family, this is very difficult for me, my parents are activists of racial justice Jinger's family is actively involved in the organic welfare movement" Woofer " , But my sister Jinger and my older brother James are working at Occupy Los Angeles. My sister Katherine is also a faithful racist justice activist.
