The purpose of this article is to examine the inequality in the distribution of income. The distribution of income is an important issue for all facets of our society. Many governmental policies (taxation, etc.), for example, influence the distribution of income. This article will look at the distribution of income on the basis of race, comparing the income distribution of Blacks versus the income distribution of Whites. Comparisons will be made between races as well as within each race.
