## see uploads\u00a0READ\u00a0the article,\u00a0Black American Culture and the Racial Wealth Gap\u00a0\u00a0download\u00a0in which Coleman Hughes challenges recent scholarship that claims the racial wealth gap between whites and blacks in the U.S. is caused by two factors: slavery and racist New Deal policies. He also considers why, “since the end of the Civil Rights Movement, the academic Left has been asking the question\u2014who is to blame for the state of black America?”\u00a0
1) Rather than asking “who is to blame,” Coleman Hughes suggests there is a more “salient question.” What does he think we should ask instead? Do you agree or disagree? Why?
2) According to Coleman Hughes, most academic researchers answer the question of who is to blame by concluding “if the government made the wealth gap, then shouldn\u2019t the government unmake it?” What proposed government policies does he examine? Do you agree with these policies?
3) Coleman Hughes appeals to blacks to play an active role in closing the racial wealth gap and insists, “there\u00a0are\u00a0things that blacks can do. Indeed, there are certain elements of black American culture that, if changed, would allow blacks to amass wealth to a degree that no government policy would be likely to match.” List three (3) cultural behaviors that he says blacks could change to address the racial wealth gap themselves.
4) Explain the Parable of the Pedestrian. Discuss whether you agree or disagree with Coleman Hughes that this parable applies to the racial wealth gap.
