Report: Black Americans, Particularly Black Women, Among Those Hit Hardest By Wage Disparities

By Darrell Owens — I was split on whether gun deaths or traffic deaths are the biggest death cults in the United States, but I’ve decided it goes to cars. However neutered gun control is, it’s not a popular mandate in polling but rather a quirk in effective lobbying.
