[Xmca-l] Fwd: NYTimes.com: Minorities Fall Further Behind Whites in Wealth During Economic Recovery

[mike cole]

Apropos of Paul's you tube movie about Brazilian UN troops shooting
Haitians and the imperative for people to be engaged as citizen-academics,
here is the second of two NY times stories that take us back to his earlier
post on the race/class nexus.

The first, which I have been unable to retrieve, was about two teenage
girls who were accused of graffiti drawing on a school wall. Friends. One
Black on Anglo. The Anglo girl's parents paid a 100$ fine and the incident
was forgotten. The Black girl's parents did not have the 100$ so their
daughter was under court ordered restrictions for a summer (as I remember
the story). Not a coincidence.

The same non-coincidence is present in the story herewith forwarded.
