Regarding:

- "The black-white wealth gap is staggering"

For the SF Bay Area, would it be more accurate to write:

- ”the Black/Hispanic - Asian/White wealth gap is staggering"

Black neighborhoods are the direct result of the government’s aiding and abetting of segregation post-Reconstruction. And they’re rotted from the core politics and policies continue to disenfranchise in communities across the country. As earlier comment noted, when investment into communities where blacks created a community that uplifts and serves their populations with dignity and prosperity, angry, vengeful and basically jealous forces destroy it. The legislative actions continue to be used to create a serfdom level community in urban centers across the country for Black Americans. No more is it mutually exclusive for blacks: Indigenous communities are still fighting for the recognition they deserve for centuries. Immigrant communities AAPI, Hispanic are enduring this same results and the Tulsa/Greenwood Districts across the country are being legislatively attacked for any prosperity that is intended to uplift and sustain communities where divestment endures, being replaced and taking their slow investments away by failing to recognize these diverse communities in the first place.
