Just a couple of choice ones-- first money income of African-American
wage/salary earners was 56.6% of that for whites in 1980; and in 2005 was
60%.
I happen to have the 2004 CDC National Health Statistics close at hand, so
here's a couple of choice one's from a few years ago:
Percentage of low birth weights 2000-2002 (below 2500 grams);
white 6.75; black 13.19
Percentage very low birthweights 2000-2002 (below 1500 grams);
white 1.16; black 3.11
Infant, neonatal, postneonatal mortality rates, selected years:
1983 white 9.3; black 19.2
1999 white 5.8; black 14.0
2001 white 5.7; black 13.3
Infant mortality rates per 100,000 live births
1999-2001 white: 5.7; black 13.7
Neonatal (infants under 28 days) mortality rates per 1000 live births:
1999-2001 whites: 3.8; blacks 9.2
Life expectancy at birth:
1950 white box sexes 69.1; black both sexes 60.8
1960 white 70.6; black 63.6
1970 white 71.7; black 64.1
1980 white 74.4;black 68.1
1990 white 76.1; black 69.1
2000 white 77.6; black 71.9
As I state before, the civil rights movement, not its legislative program,
had as its goal only one thing, equality. Does any of this read like
equality to anyone?
