The racial wealth gap is where yesterday’s injustice becomes today’s inequality. And it’s growing.

Since the end of the civil war, the United States worked slowly and painfully to break the walls of ethnic groups and heal the wounds of slavery. We made progress, dismissed Jim Crow's apartheid, passed the civil rights bill, and elected our first black president.

However, as the author Mehrsa Baradaran states, 'past injustices create current pain' - especially as it becomes wealth, we are still very clear

The average wealth for the American white family is $ 171,000. For black families, it is $ 17,600

Toxicity inequality: How does the wealth gap in the US damages liquidity, deepens ethnic groups and threatens our future (Thomas Shapiro)

The disparity between the wealthy and the poor in the United States is divided beyond the ethnic boundary - and the risk is increasing (Alvin Chang, Vox)

A former loan official claimed that Wells Fargo offered a counterfeit loan to the black community (Ylan Q. Mui told Beth Jacobson, we also interviewed Washington Post)

Ethnic wealth inequality can be traced back to the establishment of this country. Europeans forced to remove Native American from their land to make the current United States. Many Caucasians possess black slaves and can build and develop their wealth by conquering the native American territory. Unfortunately, this violence is part of the foundation of modern America. Even after banning slavery and plundering land, discriminatory public policy and disproportionate tax system still have racial injustice. Therefore, the gap between the rich and the poor has spread to today.

Research on the cause of disparity between wealthy people and poor people arises from the slavery, apartheid, and the historical injustice from red rays. Helping white veterans go to college and purchase mortgage collateral housing established the foundation for the American middle class to inherently eliminate colored people. Past unfair results have been continuing as wealth spreads beyond generations and at first glance it has been strengthened by "color blindness" approach and today's effective policy. However, many general interpretations of racial economic inequality ignore these deeply rooted sources and argue that the difference in wealth must be the result of personal life choice and personal achievement . The misunderstanding of the gap between rich and poor in personal responsibility is a barrier to policies that can effectively resolve racial differences.
