earning ratio for black female to male are higher than any other race. Why?

[The Frozen One]

in 2007, earning for a black male was 71% compared to a white male, but for females the earning ratio was 84.6%..

why the big gap difference?

and what r some of the other reasons you would guess?

What would also led a group of people to become the only people in the history of our planet with such gender maddness?

Unequal law enforcement and judicial policies?

Gang violence?

Broken family structure?

Plus, cacs give more opportunities to black women than black men to make a living in the professional world.

This is a major part of what makes the gap smaller. Combine that with education, the fact that most Black families are single mother homes where there is thus more incentive for the mother to work, and the general disparity in college attendance between men and women of all genders. Throw in a little racial stereotyping, where Black women are perceived as less threatening than Black men.

I'm not totally sure whether it's related or not, but here in Europe whenever for example companies or governments want to appear "open to diversity", they're much more likely to employ black women that black men. Multiply that enough times and I guess it plays a role in the earnings disparity.

Google it. There have been several psych studies done on the subject. For example, this is why Black women have an easier time taking out loans to start businesses than Black men. They are perceived as more trustworthy and good-intentioned.

Now I have to look this up...

I mean the studies I found were pretty much outdated(way before I was born), but they pretty much relegated black women in managerial roles to the modern day mammies. They're overall seen as inferior(less threatening), paid considerably less than white males, seen as less of a sexual threat(unattractive)...
