[lbo-talk] A $95, 000 question: why are whites five OR TWENTY ? times richer than blacks in the US?

[c b]

White families typically have assets worth $100,000 (£69,000), up from
$22,000 in the mid-1980s. African-American families' assets stand at
just $5,000, up from around $2,000.

^^^^^

CB: Isn't 100,000 20 times greater than 5000 ?

^^^^
CB: I'm curious. Isn't there a computation error in the thread title
or is the calculation being done in different manner than I think ?
