The book, "Fifteen Cents on the Dollar: How Americans Made the Black-White Wealth Gap," takes a deep look at the impact of race on financial well-being in this country.

Source: https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2024/03/06/a-booming-us-stock-market-doesnt-benefit-all-racial-and-ethnic-groups-equally/ The Pew Research Center article, "Booming US stock market doesn't benefit all racial and ethnic groups equally," analyzes data from the Survey of Consumer Finances to show that the recent growth in the U.S. stock market disproportionately benefits White families. White families are more likely to own stocks and have larger stock holdings than families of other races, with Black and Hispanic families having significantly lower median and mean stock ownership values. Additionally, White families are more likely to have retirement accounts, and their accounts tend to be larger than those of other racial and ethnic groups. Although Asian American families have a higher median net worth than any other group, the article points out that the wealth gap between White and minority families is significant, with White families owning a larger share of their wealth in stocks and mutual funds. These disparities reflect a long-standing pattern of racial inequality in financial wealth and investment opportunities in the U.S.

The Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) has released a new report urging corporations to expand their diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies to reduce the racial wealth gap. The report offers guidelines for companies to follow, emphasizing the legality of DEI programs, despite recent challenges from conservative lawmakers and activists. CBC Chair Rep. Steven Horsford highlighted that after George Floyd's death, corporations pledged $50 billion towards racial equity, but many have not since fulfilled their promises. Now, the CBC is calling for renewed corporate commitments and outlays 12 key areas, including leadership, diversity, and pay equity, where companies can make measurable progress. The CBC, which engaged with nearly 200 companies through the report, aims to hold firms accountable for their promises and push for greater economic mobility in Black communities.

We're almost at the end of our season, just as the biggest sports leagues in the world come to the end of theirs (as our guest today says, it all revolves around oil, and maybe a bit of corruption and looting). Speaking of today's guest, we've got on an expert in banking and the racial wealth gap whose biography will probably surprise you at every turn: Mehrsa Baradaran, Professor of Law at the University of California Irvine School of Law, who takes us on a tour of her new book The Quiet Coup: Neoliberalism and the Looting of America. Even though Sam and David's respective views on neoliberalism are what makes this a podcast divided, Baradaran opens the podcast by telling us that neoliberalism is synonymous with corruption and looting, but also that she's a big fan of markets. Next, Baradaran gives us a brief and maybe controversial account of the post-World War Two era, placing empire and race, not economics or ideology, at the center. Sam presses Baradaran on her thesis: that conmen and grifters, big oil and big tobacco, used neoliberalism, which then gained a life of its own as law and economics. David valiantly defends law and economics (sadly, no one seems to be convinced). We end with exposing the quietest coup: maybe Baradaran, in aiming to bare everything wrong with our economic system, was the real neoliberal all along.

Despite this, the gap in homeownership […]

Celebrated author of the award-winning book, The Color of Money: Black Banks and the Racial Wealth Gap, Mehrsa Baradaran states that when the Emancipation Proclamation was signed in 1863, Blacks had 0.5% of the nation's wealth. This statistic makes sense, since Blacks weren't allowed to own capital as enslaved people — their bodies were, indeed, the capital used to develop lending in this country. Fast-forward more than 160 years to today, Black households currently have a total wealth of just over 4% - not much growth, especially when U consider that one-in-four Black households overall have no wealth or in debt, compared to about one-in-ten U.S. households.    What if our nation's financial systems were rigged — not by evil puppet masters or villains — but by law-abiding judges, lawyers, policy makers and lobbyists? In Baradaran's latest book, The Quiet Coup: Neoliberalism and The Looting of America, the acclaimed professor of law at the University of California, Irvine argues that our political and economic systems of government have shifted in recent decades to yield more complex laws and regulations designed to benefit the rich and powerful—while at the same time, proclaiming smaller government and less regulation. The result has been a large section of Americans left poor and disenfranchised. Join us as I SEE U host Eddie Robinson chats with one of our country's leading intellectuals and legal scholars, Mehrsa Baradaran. We examine how the Civil Rights movement and the push for economic justice by Black activists led to a so-called neoliberal movement. Baradaran explores this ideology of neoliberalism and explains how it infected our politics to ensure and maintain a dominant system of economic power over democracy – a movement she says is far from over, and even accelerating.

March 21, 2024 In honor of the 2024 Women's History Month theme of “Women Who Advocate for Equity, Diversity and Inclusion,” Vernon interviews Renée Sattiewhite, President and CEO of the African-American Credit Union Coalition (AACUC). Vernon and Renee discuss the role AACUC plays in creating bridges between community-based organizations and consumer-focused initiatives designed to close the extensive racial wealth gap. In addition to serving as President/CEO of the AACUC, Renée Sattiewhite is also a certified diversity professional, credit union development educator, motivational speaker, executive coach, mentoring trainer, and recognized expert on marketing and branding. Renee has brought both her unique vitality and forward-looking vision in order to create one of the most dynamic organizations in the credit union movement. She has successfully propelled the organization forward to offer a credible voice that addresses today's dialogue on race, equity, and inclusion for all. In September 2022, Renée was inducted to America's Credit Union Museum's newest display “Credit Union Women Making History....Herstory,” an interactive exhibit highlighting incredible women's achievements that have made history in the credit union industry and showcasing women's stories never heard before. In 2020, after the deaths of Ahmaud Arbery, George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and with the growing visibility of the Black Lives Matter movement, this momentum galvanized the country against racial injustice. Renee became one of the most notable catalysts, encouraging the credit union industry to become more aware of the urgent need for change toward true racial equality and economic justice, and launched the Commitment to Change: Credit Unions Unite Against Racism initiative. As a direct result of Renee's leadership AACUC received the 2022 Anchor Award from the National Credit Union Foundation which is the equivalent to the Nobel Peace Prize of the credit union movement. The African-American Credit Union Coalition is a 501c3 non-profit organization created in 1999 to increase diversity within the credit union community through advocacy and professional development. This award-winning organization is shaping diversity, equity, and inclusion in the movement to eliminate the racial wealth gap, and is considered a leader in the credit union industry.

State of the Bay digs into the racial wealth gap and how impact investing is addressing the issue. We hear about the latest exhibitions and programs at the Museum of African Diaspora (MoAD). We discuss the upcoming March 5th election.

Despite record-low Black unemployment and a higher labor force participation rate than Whites, major barriers impede homeownership among African Americans, a fact that contributes to a yawning racial wealth gap. The gap is so expansive that the 400 wealthiest Americans control the same amount of wealth as the 48 million Blacks living in the United States. Importantly, however, there are solutions. Dr. Courtney Johnson Rose serves as President of the National Association of Real Estate Brokers (NAREB), the premier network of Black real estate professionals and one of the oldest minority trade associations in the country with more than 100 chapters nationwide. The organization is sponsoring a Black Wealth Tour in cities around the country, with Dr. Rose and NAREB representatives leading classes, workshops, and one-on-one counseling to advise families on home buying, investing, and careers in real estate. With her background – both personal and professional – in the field, Dr. Rose is prepared to tackle this challenge. And she is my guest on this episode of Equal Time.

Being completely clueless as to how credit cards, mortgages, or 401ks worked, she found herself making horrible money moves and financial decisions, which would ultimately impact her financial future in a very real way. The process of dealing with money is very personal to Jamilah and she often sees a similarity and feels a connection with her clients no matter where they are along their financial path.She earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology from Howard University and believes that her background in behavioral science helps her understand how people think and feel in regards to their personal debt and finances. Jamilah's goal is to eliminate her clients' anxiety around money and to proactively and quickly get them out of debt, and on the path to living their best financial lives. She's been dedicated to this pursuit for nearly a decade and sees herself more as a financial coach and strategist. Her action plans are very hands-on and she's not afraid to speak the hard truths and realities when it comes to you and your money.________________________________Interested in investing in small multifamily?

“Wealth is the paramount indicator of economic prosperity and well-being,” says the economist Darrick Hamilton. He's right. Policy analysis tends to focus on income, but it is wealth that often determines whether we can send our kids to college, pay for an illness, quit a job, start a business or make a down payment on a home. Wealth is also the source of some of our deepest social inequalities: The top 10 percent of households in the U.S. own about 70 percent of the nation's wealth, and the typical Black family has about one-tenth the wealth of the typical white family.Hamilton is an economist at the New School who has spent decades studying the origins of the United States' wealth disparities and how to close them. His “baby bonds” proposal — which would give poor children up to $50,000 in wealth by the time they become adults — has been put forward as national legislation by politicians like Senator Cory Booker and Representative Ayanna Pressley, and a state-level version of it is about to be established in Connecticut. So I asked him on the show to walk me through the structure of wealth in America today, the policy decisions undergirding that structure and the kinds of policies we could pass to dismantle it.Mentioned:“Can ‘Baby Bonds' Eliminate the Racial Wealth Gap in Putative Post-Racial America?” by Darrick Hamilton and William Darity, Jr.“A Birthright to Capital” by Darrick Hamilton.

On this episode of Next Question with Katie Couric, produced in partnership with Ally and Katie Couric Media, we're taking a look at the racial wealth gap; the systemic and historical factors that have contributed to persuasive economic inequality, as well as how we can work together to navigate a new path forward. First, Katie is joined by financial columnist Michelle Singletary from the Washington Post. Her series, “Sincerely, Michelle,” was not only a reaction to the murder of George Floyd, but also an invitation to millions of Americans to see the reasons for the stark financial disparity that falls along racial lines. Next, Katie speaks to Chloe McKenzie, founder of Black Fem, an organization dedicated to reimagining wealth opportunities for Black women. Want to be a know-it-all?
