Thanks, Geary. I hesitate to try and depict the economic positions of any groups today although I hope all groups improve at ever increasing rates. I'm stuck in the old fashioned belief that we need to encourage and insist our economy gets back to a stronger national position and per capita wealth is achieved within that dynamic (easier said than done at this point in time). Many fellow citizens claim to need help and many are even reluctant to work for today's wages. I sense the improvement in the plight of Black America who grabs onto the educational and effort ring of our merry-go-round. I remember when Jackie Robinson broke in to baseball. I recall the terrible time he had to experience. I see the adulation from the sea of "white" Tiger Woods received as he approached the 18th green in the 2019 Masters. A long time for such a change of hearts and minds, perhaps but perhaps that is the time it had to take. https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/fact-sheet/facts-about-the-us-black-population/. I don't say or think these stats indicate "enough", but they are pointing in better directions.
