Income in Black and White-

Black people's income is $15,986 less in 2003, than white income on average. I do not believe that this gap is due to racism. Some may be related to racism, but in my opion not all. I belive this gap is due to lack in education and useful skills. Being racist in the employment industry is against the law, and makes it more difficult to be racist when choosing applicants for jobs. In some places in the US men get $21,456 more then women do for the same jobs. I belive this is not due to sexism but to lack of education or skills. Not everything that has to do with black people "getting less" has to do with racism. Gaps in income are spread all over the country with many different people, not just minorities.
