Right Wing Alert
The nutbars will have a field day with this one:
The WP fronts a new study that shows that African-American children born into middle-class families are far more likely to fall into poverty later in life than whites. Almost 50 percent of African-Americans who had middle-class parents in 1968 "grew up to be among the lowest fifth of the nation's earners," says the Post. That sort of drastic change occurred in only 16 percent of whites. Although most Americans do end up being better off than their parents, the large number of "downwardly mobile" African-Americans surprised researchers.Nutbars won't actually read the study or understand that there are a hundred variables that could explain this. No. You know what they'll grab.
