Black exec who was pegged to be next ceo at nike is out after partially #metoo'ing himself. "partially" because I haven't seen any allegations directly against him, just that he defended/protected folks when they were doing dirt. In total Like 12 top execs all left the company tho, so Nike prolly just had bad culture/ boys club environment

Anyway, them Fed numbers is out-
Blk wealth is under 15% of median white wealth.
$17.6k vs $170k
We try to spend right alongside them, consume and live the American lifestyle shown on tv like them, but at the end of the day we don't have the assets in the bank/house/family to back it up
And $55k in student loans for a $38k/yr social worker job should be illegal

The charts show big jumps from 60s to 80s and then everyone loosely converging in the Same direction.

The long arc of history bends towards smartphones, car loans, 40 hr work weeks, and other Middle classisms.
