Segregation has always been bad in North but that was and has been continuously swept under the rug for decades. Even Malcolm X called them out on it when everyone was going after the South.

Still I want to see job prospects numbers across fields and education levels. Are we comparing apples to apples here? If you just say "all whites" and "all blacks" that discounts people with good education versus poor ones. So does this trend hold true at all income levels? All education levels? All areas of the country?

Obama blew such an opportunity to change the culture of destruction many black Americans face in cities. He had eight years to lead that change through being inspirational, through challenging the young men and women, even the adults into, working towards a better day for their own children. When your focus is your party and not the people you have made the wrong choice.

Obama gave plenty of respectability politics[0] speeches. This argument is as old as U.S. Reconstruction. The problem isn't inspiration, working hard, or wanting a better day for their children.

Actual laws set up these neighborhoods, schools, prisons, and employment consequences.

The Obamas are definitely doing something about it:
