Georgia and Texas, two states in the American South with a history of racial discrimination, top the list of WalletHub's 2024 ranking of "States with the Most Racial Progress."
- Georgia ranked No. 1 on WalletHub's 2024 ranking. It's reduced the gap between the earnings of white and Black Americans by over 32% since 1979, the most significant reduction in the nation, the study said.
The Peach State has also decreased the gap in business ownership by over 11% since 2002 — and is among the few states that have reduced the poverty rate of Black residents.
- Texas came in second and led the nation in reducing the gap in health insurance coverage between white and Black residents.
- Mississippi, in third, has closed the poverty rate gap by nearly 27% since 1970, the highest reduction in the U.S.
…The rankings appeared to mainly measure gaps between white and Black residents and didn't include data on Latinos, Native Americans, or Asian Americans.
But: The study is a testimony to the gains made since the Civil Rights Movement, Arndrea Waters King, president of the Drum Major Institute, a civil rights think tank, tells Axios.

We’ve seen firsthand the “racial progress” of such enlightened Democrat locales as Martha’s Vineyard.
Maybe this is what they really meant.
I’m a Georgia native. What the hell is this “racial progress” crap? In my circle, nobody gave a darn what color someone was, we were all just friends. Still are.
States That Have Made the Most Racial Progress

Obviously.
Surely there are other races besides black that have seen progress. Why is it always about the black? What am I missing here?
People are sick and tired about being judged regarding how they treat a black person. How they treat an Asian, Hispanic, or Aleutian is not ever mentioned.
Why?
Because: 1) Blacks are noisy.
2) Blacks riot.
Nuke Austin and Atlanta from space. It’s the only way to be sure.

“ In my circle, nobody gave a darn what color someone was, we were all just friends. Still are.”
…last thing libs want is for whites and blacks to get along. I worked in Brunswick Ga in the 80’s. Rented a townhouse on St Simons. Never have I met nicer, welcoming people. My car broke down in a neighborhood in Brunswick near the paper mill. As I walked thru to the main road I had people offering to repair it. Broken clutch cable. This one guy was fixing it while his wife served me a fried chicken dinner! Black family. Never asked for a nickel and wished me well!
They pee in the pool.
Race, Class, Gender...
That’s all they deal with to divide the Nation.
Least amount of welfare and government results in less racial problems.
Shocker.
Shocker.
Thank you for making the connection. More prosperity, business ownership, less poverty all around benefits everyone.
That damn paper mill, what a smell!
One of my best friends, happens to be black, called my mom "Mom", lives in Brunswick.
Pound sand. No one needs your stamp approval. You are not the arbiters of “virtue”. Your purity tests are irrelevant.
Nice
