The WISER report doesn't tell me anything. "Blacks would be just as well off as Whites if they tried harder" is the type of statement that Seth deals with in his "Liberals and Racism" piece, which he already linked ot: http://jacobinmag.com/summer-2011/liberals-and-racism/
To me it reflects a certain brand of capitalist ideology prevalent all across the U.S. ideological spectrum. The greatest proponent is that great "racist" admonisher of young black men, Barack Obama.
