There are one of the most dominant races in any community in America. Even where I come from, African Americans and Whites are the most dominant racial groups, and hence there is so much data available to study the two. Races and cultures have always been different. The culture that people of certain races embrace is always different from the culture embraced by people of different races. When people of different races live together, they merge their cultures, and some items are likely to be compromised. However, there are areas where the gap of racial differences widens and proves hard to seal. A good example is a comparison of whites and black in America and how they compare in different areas. 2 Areas of Differences Some of the most dominant areas where these two groups compare differently are: Access to Medicare Income Poverty rate
- 2. Unemployment Divorce rate The way people access Medicare differs significantly and not just between white Americas and black Americans. This applies to everyone in America. Race is correlated to access to healthcare in different ways. Income is also correlated to race and a person's social identity in the United States. These are the factor that affects employment and other job-related attributes like poverty. 3 Statistical Differences on Access to Medicare Statically, more whites have higher access to Medicare than African Americans. To put this into perception, white has 72% higher accessibility than African American. This implies that the government's subsidies to support Medicare are more accessible to whites than to blacks. This could be why whites enjoy better healthcare than their black counterparts. 4 Medicare Beneficiaries Between African Americans and Whites Africa Americans White 2879200 7463050 Statistical Differences on Income KFF, (2019). Income is the second area where black and whites compare significantly differently. As you would expect, whites earn
- 3. more than blacks. From the graph shown above, the average income for a white household per annum is $98,174. This significantly reduces to only $46,073 for the case of African Americans. This is a clear indication that there is a possibility that some whites are paid almost double for the same job done by an African American worker. 5 Income Between African Americans and Whites Africa Americans 46073 White 98174 Statistical Differences on Poverty Rate Economic policy institute, (2019). In terms of poverty, most Black people tend to suffer more poverty than white people. To be precise, 18.7% of blacks live in poverty. This might not appear like such a huge percentage of them, but when it is compared to whites, it is such a huge figure. Only 7.3% of whites live in poverty. This implies more than two folds of black lives in poverty compared to whites. This is related to the discriminative system and has never created equal opportunities for success for African Americans. 6 Poverty Rate Between African Americans and Whites Africa Americans White 0.187 0.073
- 4. Statistical Differences on Unemployment KFF, (2019). Unemployment has been a hot topic for a very long time in America. This has been a tough topic because it is one of those reasons why black people do not have system advantages to succeed like the case of white America. On a scale of 100%, 65% of African Americans are not employed. On the other hand, only 35% of white are not employed. When this is assessed from the entire population point of view, 6.1% of African Americans are unemployed, whereas only 3.1% of white people are unemployed. 7 Unemployment Between African Americans and Whites African Americans Whites 0.061 0.033 Statistical Differences on Divorce Divorce is another key area of measuring the differences between blacks and whites. The black population struggles with marriages for some reasons. These reasons are not prevalent among white couples. This is why Black Americans have a high rate of divorce compared to white couples. In perspective, that 30.% percent of black couples are likely to end up in divorce. On the other hand, only 15.1% of white couples are divorced. This is yet another area where blacks are disadvantaged two folds compared to whites. 8

They are attractive to have contrasting statistics because of the dominance of both blacks and whites. From different comparison areas, backs are on the downside of these statistics. Blacks tend to suffer more disadvantages than whites. This is because of the system and how things have changed. There is still a long journey for blacks to cover because they can be at the same level as their white counterparts. They must push at a personal level to improve in all those areas where they score below the average and even below white Americans. 9 REFERENCES: https://www.kff.org/other/state-indicator/poverty-rate-by- raceethnicity/?currentTimeframe=0&selectedRows=%7B%22wr apups%22:%7B%22united- states%22:%7B%7D%7D%7D&sortModel=%7B%22colId%22:% 22Location%22,%22sort%22:%22asc%22%7D https://www.kff.org/search/?s=race%20and%20unemployment& fs=search&orderby=&tab=&layout= https://www.epi.org/blog/racial-disparities-in-income-and- poverty-remain-largely-unchanged-amid-strong-income-growth- in- 2019/#:~:text=In%202019%2C%20the%20 median%20Black,cen
