Similarly, I read this really great article about the decline in black business just this morning: http://washingtonmonthly.com/magazine/marchaprilmay-2017/the-decline-of-black-business/ http://washingtonmonthly.com/magazine/marchaprilmay-2017/the... Over the same period, tens of thousands of black-owned retail establishments and local service companies also have disappeared, having gone out of business or been acquired by larger companies. Reflecting these developments, working-age black Americans have become far less likely to be their own boss than in the 1990s. The per capita number of black employers, for example, declined by some 12 percent just between 1997 and 2014. EDIT: After rereading, I realize my comment is NOT similar to the parent, actually contrary to it. I'm gonna leave it though because the Washington Monthly article actually is really good!
