Poor blacks struggle with high incarceration and unemployment rates. An estimated 30% of black men under 40 have been in jail, and according to a study by Community Service Society, a nonprofit that advocates for low-income people, almost half of black men in New York City are jobless. But middle-class blacks are more concerned about affirmative action and cuts in Pell grants to pay for college tuition...
