This article presents a discussion of a paper that examined the economic status of blacks in the U.S. The authors addresses how both past and current discrimination negatively impacts the economic status of blacks and the distribution of wealth in the black community. The author shows how discrimination impacts level of education, which in turn impacts occupation, which inevitably impacts level of income. The author notes that greater analysis is needed in order to understand the interdependence of discrimination and the distribution of the explanatory variables associated with discrimination.
