I thought it interesting and filed it away in my head.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.durhamcountylibrary.org/dcrhp/images/cr040.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="http://www.durhamcountylibrary.org/dcrhp/images/cr040.jpg" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: start;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Selective Buying Campaign 1968-1969 Durham, NC.</span></span></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
<br />
The next day, I read this piece about papa john's company stance on Obamacare<br />
<a href="http://www.forbes.com/sites/calebmelby/2012/11/12/breaking-down-centi-millionaire-papa-john-schnatters-obamacare-math/">http://www.forbes.com/sites/calebmelby/2012/11/12/breaking-down-centi-millionaire-papa-john-schnatters-obamacare-math/</a><br />
<br />
<br />
I found the two pieces of information joined in my head and I posed this question. Looking at the first list, how many of those firms are still in business? I am not saying they were put out of business by the boycott but instead I believe the <i>reason </i>for the strike and the misalignment of the companies with where the world was heading is what put them out of business. I believe the same will hold true for John if he continues to not pay attention to market changes.<br />
Just a thought.<br />

We talk about her writing on the Root. Hailing from the West coast she came East to attend first Howard then Harvard University. She found troubling instants of race throughout her life that pulled her away from her corporate job into writing. She shares her coverage of a wide variety of news: the Trayvon Martin case, Chris Brown, and education in the African American community to name a few.

<br />
Lisa B. Kahn<br />
Yale School of Management<br />
First Draft: March, 2003<br />
Current Draft: August 13, 2009<br />
<br />
<br />
This paper studies the labor market experiences of white male college graduates as<br />
a function of economic conditions at time of college graduation. I use the National<br />
Longitudinal Survey of Youth whose respondents graduated from college between 1979<br />
and 1989. I estimate the effects of both national and state economic conditions at<br />
time of college graduation on labor market outcomes for the first two decades of a<br />
career. Because timing and location of college graduation could potentially be affected<br />
by economic conditions, I also instrument for the college unemployment rate using<br />
year of birth (state of residence at an early age for the state analysis).<br />

The Middle Class Shrinks and Income Segregation Rises<br />
by D’Vera Cohn<br />
<br />
In 1980, 23% of U.S. lower-income households lived in majority low-income neighborhoods; in 2010, that had risen to 28%. At the other end of the economic scale, the share of upper-income households living in majority upper-income neighborhoods doubled, to 18% in 2010 from 9% in 1980, according to a new Pew Research Center income segregation report based on census data.<br />
<br />
Income segregation also rose over the same time period in 27 of the nation’s 30 largest (in terms of households) metropolitan areas, according to the report, “The Rise of Residential Segregation by Income,” written by Paul Taylor and Richard Fry. It includes data on income segregation comparing those 30 metropolitan areas, as well as interactive maps.<br />
<br />
The increase in income segregation is a contrast to the long decline in black-white racial segregation in neighborhoods. Why would income segregation be rising? The major reason is that the share of neighborhoods that are predominantly middle income or mixed income has declined, from 85% in 1980 to 76% in 2010. In turn, the shares that are majority lower income or upper income have grown.<br />
<br />
The larger picture here is that the share of middle-income households has gone down over time. These middle-income households (defined as those where incomes are 67% to 200% of the national median) were 54% of households in 1980 but only 48% in 2010. The share of upper-income households has grown over the 30-year period, to 20% from 15%.<br />
<br />
The report based its analysis on changes at the census-tract level. Census tracts have an average of about 4,000 residents and roughly follow neighborhood boundaries, so they are the measure of choice among experts to look at neighborhood change or composition.<br />
<br />
As is usual with studies of this kind, the analysis was limited to census tracts in metropolitan and micropolitan areas, where 93% of the nation’s population lives. For 2010, the analysis included 67,462 tracts out of the 73,057 in the 50 states and District of Columbia.<br />
<br />
The idea behind neighborhood-level segregation analysis is to study the potential exposure of people to others from different groups. But census tracts located outside metropolitan and micropolitan areas can include so much land that they would not resemble what most people would consider a neighborhood. As this list of 1990 Texas census tracts shows, there are some that encompass hundreds of square miles.<br />

I plan to tackle this question for myself and the other black men that come on the show. I will be writing and I will be reaching out to other black males far and wide. Will it be different from what others are reading and writing?
