The United States has always had a serious racial wealth gap. Now, five researchers from the group, United for a Fair Economy, have tried to answer the question, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153why do people of color have so little wealth?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d They\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve co-written a book called The Color of Wealth: The Story Behind the US Racial Divide,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d in which they lay out how for centuries, people of color have been barred by laws and by discrimination from participating in government wealth-building programs that benefit white Americans. The book examines the histories of five major racial groups in the US: Native Americans, Latino Americans, African Americans, Asian Americans, and European Americans. It is the first book to demonstrate the decisive influence of government policies on Americans\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 net worth. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The Color of Wealth\u00e2\u20ac\u009d also make the case that until government policy tackles disparities in wealth, not just income, the United States will never have racial or economic justice. <\/p>\n<p>For more information, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.faireconomy.org\">www.faireconomy.org<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>South Central Farm, Fair Trade, and the Color of Wealth GUEST: Tezozomoc, elected representative of the South Central Farmers It was just a week ago today that farmers and their supporters were forcibly evicted off the 14 acre community garden by LA police and sheriffs.
