Stark San Francisco income gap between whites, African Americans
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | October 4, 2015

Posted on 10/04/2015 7:02:54 PM PDT by artichokegrower

For many, San Francisco income levels have been steadily rising the last four years.

The median household income for whites reached $104,300 last year, up 14 percent since 2011, according to recently released census data. The annual household median rose for Latinos and Asians, as well.

But not all have fared as well during the city's seemingly relentless explosion of wealth.

In the same span, the median income of San Francisco's shrinking black population fell to $29,500, a 5 percent decline. It's even lower than what blacks make in Oakland or San Bernardino County, the most affordable part of the state.

Some say the San Francisco income gap is a blatant injustice the city needs to fix. Fast.


How about a law requiring black men to become actual fathers to the children they bring about?

Apparently the Liberals in San Francisco are racists who seek a wide wage gap between the Haves and the Have-Nots.

I-Am-So-Shocked.

Must be all of those rich white Republicans in San Fran that are keeping the black man down.

Why, oh why don’t they share their wealth?

Raise the minimum wage to $50 hr. It’s the only fair thing to do.

What is the income gap between Black gays and Black heterosexuals? Between Asian heterosexuals and Black heterosexuals, between Asian gays and Black heterosexuals, between White gays and White Heterosexuals? Maybe a more definitive study that doesn’t start with a bias.

—from what I read about rents in the area, the problem would soon solve itself—there won’t be any blacks able to afford to live there-—

Pelosi’s mansion could house at least 50. When she’s in town a few could move out until she leaves.

If I lived in San Francisco I’d be a black man.

Did they factor in freebies? If they want to make it worse, which they do, they can make some law to fix it.

I wasn’t aware that the White Metrosexual Gays allowed Blacks into San Francisco. The Straight ones anyway.

Sorry, but I’m not reading another “I’m a victim” piece. There’s plenty of opportunity for blacks, they just need to make smarter choices, starting with repairing the black family unit. In the 1960’s, about 20% of black babies were born out of wedlock. In 2014, it was 72%. It takes no brains to father a child, but it takes effort to be a father and 72% of black men duck that responsibility.

“What is the IQ gap? Bueller? Bueller?”

The question all of them are afraid to ask.

I notice this info is about the bad old whites and the good old blacks.

Asians and Hispanics are not part of the equation-—and I’m sure they make more than the blacks also.

So....the most Liberal city in America will also be the least Black city in America.

What a surprise—not.

I think that the correct target should be the females:


NO money from welfare for children out of wedlock. Those females would close their legs faster than a speeding bullet.

I'm not sure if that is fair. There are SO few gays in society, generally, that it would be nigh on impossible to ascertain that number.

As for unbiased studies, that would be the best, but studies are RIDDLED with flaws. The LEAST reliable is the survey study. That is probably what would be attempted.

But, in the end, it really is about money, isn't it? It usually is.

Black income is down.

But the homos are doing well so that makes up for it.

I’m betting Asians make more than Whites. Whenever we travel down to Koreatown in Dallas it looks like a foreign luxury car dealership in the parking lots.
