1. A black man born to parents at the median income would expect to end up lower on the income ladder than his parents, while a white man born to parents of median income would not. This is important, because it abstracts from dependency on how well-off one’s parents are.
2. Among children with parents earning at the 25th percentile, black boys had lower incomes in adulthood than white boys in 99% of neighborhoods
