The study by Chetty et al. did find that black men earn less than their parents' income would predict, but this is NOT proof of "racism's punishing reach". Black men are more likely to be incarcerated, as the study documents, because they commit crimes at a higher rate. Having a criminal record reduces earnings. Blacks and society in general would be better off if that crime rate could be lowered. Steve Sailer has some good critiques of Chetty's study.
