In the second half of the 20th century, from 1950 to 2000, black people in the United States experienced much larger income gains than whites did. The group that had the largest income gains, by far, was black women. Their incomes nearly doubled over that period (after inflation). The race gap persists, but it is much lower today than it was in 1950. Does this sound like the financial result from a systemically racist country?
