They are perpetuating a grotesque and destructive lie. It’s just evil.

I don’t want to hear the word ‘racism’ come out of a single black person’s mouth until they deal with their own anti-white racism.

Slowly, ever slowly blacks are revealing their true desire of conquest with total mastery not “sharing,” “the big tent,” “room at the table,” and other twaddle.

“Black candidates receive responses for jobs that have a listed salary $3,071 lower than white candidates,” the study found.
Well gee gosh Homer wonder if education had anything to do with it?.

Very peculiar math.

Apparently assumes that “equalization of incomes” would be achieved by blacks and hispanics being brought up to the average white levels.

Whereas of course the equalization could also be achieved by bringing the white average down. Which is of course much easier to accomplish.

The article did not indicate any explanation of exactly how racism costs the states lost revenue, nor any evidence that racism in hiring exists. I wonder if the study did.

Magical wealth for all!
With this logic, it makes sense to restrict immigration to only those who have the skills to earn 6 figures.

By penning such a truly moronic article he only reinforces the racial stereotype.

How much does the state of Georgia get in wealth transfers? Much of that untaxed and unreported.

I agree that racism is costly to states. Therefore, white people should stop subsidizing black sloth, corruption, and crime by paying for useless welfare giveaways, food stamps, BET, Obamaphones, Obamacare, midnight basketball, Head Start, and all the other worthless redistributionist programs invented by the communist Left.

Clearly half the population not graduating high school has nothing to do with it

Having taught at an inner-city high school for many years, I can tell you EXACTLY what holds blacks back from being able to compete with whites in the job market. My guess is that many of you here at FR already know, so I won’t waste my breath...

Staying with the state of Georgia for a minute, the average income for whites in 2013 was $43,764. For Black residents the average was $28,272, while the average for Hispanics was $26,838. By CAP’s estimate, eliminating racial disparities in income in the state of Georgia would gain the state an additional $3.8 billion in tax revenue and would boost the state’s gross domestic product from $455 billion to $522 billion.

Total nonsense. The pay for various jobs performed in Georgia and any other state is not set based on the race of the worker, but upon the skill required by the job and the supply and demand of able and willing workers.

If every worker had an advanced college degree, then we'd have thousands of folks with advanced degrees performing low wage jobs. But the basic assumptions of this article are pure nonsense.

“Affirmative Action” reduces the value of so-called “equal qualifications” and “prestigious universities”, when minorities are admitted and advanced based on race instead of objective merit.
We got an affirmative action president, afraid to reveal his grades and “scholarly writings” and he turned out to be the worst ever.

“In addition, even when Black graduates finally received a request for a follow up interview, they were offered significantly lower salaries than their white counterparts.”

If they have the same skills, that is criminal; if everything they do has to be spell-checked re-written anyway, what is the problem? I had a file clerk who filed anything for “Mr. Xyz” under “M”; money down the drain. She then complained when an accounting position (that required years of experience) went to another employee. Both were black females, yet the file clerk still sees racism there somewhere...

Income inequality-the condition where high school dropouts and single mothers don’t feel they are getting a big enough piece of the pie even though they have done nothing to earn it.
