Black Woman Earnings

It may seem paradoxical to write just a few posts ago that African American women enjoy a higher a higher standard of living than other women of color throughout the world and then point out their wage gap but actually it illustrates just how much work needs to be done to achieve a reasonably sound foundation for black families. This report highlights the median earnings of black women in 20 states. California does the best but that's presumably because the data are skewed by women in the entertainment industry. As you might suspect, most single black women with children are raising them in poverty.
Lenin or Marx (I forget whom) pointed out that the foundation of the state is the family. America as a whole suffers when black familial relationships are not maintained and nurtured. The reasons are complex & solutions start with individuals but it would be nice to hear & see more positive messages from the hip hop crew and others that family is the true source of wealth.
