Todays statistics on economic racism are inspired by the discussions on Trayvon Martin murder forums. No time to explain all my thoughts on the subject, so just this shortcut. Many people complain about symptoms of racism, like racial profiling, discrimination of people of color and privilege for white males, but let us concentrate on economic racism. Whites took assets from non whites during the process called colonization. Their descendants are still using these assets. There are only three ways to have assets legally- inherit them (in this case whites keep inheriting assets stolen from us, so we cant inherit them) or get an education and have a fighting chance to make more than you need to just survive(but, since good education costs money in this country you need to have assets, but wait...those were taken away in the process of colonization, and now being inherited by white people) , or you can try to be a financial success without education, which is very difficult, especially that like women, non-whites are payed less for the same job. Here is another statistic to ponder(from 2011, could not find an update). As usual no Native Americans at all and there are only six Black CEOs of Fortune 500 companies, accounting for 1.2 percent of all Fortune 500 CEOs: Merck & Co. and TIAA-CREF are Nos. 12 and 41, respectively, in The 2013 DiversityInc Top 50 Companies for Diversity. CEOs in the DiversityInc Top 50 total 6 percent Black. Kenneth C. Frazier, Merck & Co. Roger W. Ferguson Jr., TIAA-CREF Kenneth I. Chenault, American Express Don Thompson, McDonald’s Ursula M. Burns, Xerox Corporation Clarence Otis Jr., Darden Restaurants, Inc.
