"SNIP.........

Our new report, "Black Men Making It In America," spotlights two pieces of particular good news about the economic well-being of black men.

First, the share of black men in poverty has fallen from 41% in 1960 to 18% today. Second, and more importantly, the share of black men in the middle or upper class -- as measured by their family income -- has risen from 38% in 1960 to 57% today. In other words, about one-in-two black men in America have reached the middle class or higher.

This good news is important and should be widely disseminated because it might help reduce prejudicial views of black men in the society at large, and negative portrayals of black men in the media. It should also engender hope among all African-Americans -- particularly young black men.

Correcting overly negative depictions and attitudes regarding black men is important because they shape how black men are treated, and how black men view their potential. Alan Jenkins, executive director of Opportunity Agenda, a social justice organization, noted that "Research and experience show that expectations and biases on the part of potential employers, teachers, health care providers, police officers, and other stakeholders influence the life outcomes of millions of black males."

2. Success would have been known long ago, if not for "Racist White Savages"

In case people don't know what or how to define a savage:

SAVAGE = (RACIST WHITE PEOPLE) = member of a people regarded as primitive and uncivilized, violent, uncontrolled barbarians (a ferocity or mercilessness regarded as unworthy of civilized people), lacking the restraints normal to civilized human beings, lacking complex or advanced culture, extreme fierceness and unrestrained violence and brutality .

God made a world where all people could grow and develop and find joy and delight in their work and civil regard among other mankind.... Except... The Savage...and its beast like make up within Racist White People, continues to be barbaric.
