I post this with no state pride: Wisconsin named worst state for black Americans

A new report says that with lower median annual income, higher unemployment and lower college graduation rates, Wisconsin is the worst state for black Americans with the country's biggest gap between black and white Americans.

In a new report, financial news and opinion website 24/7 Wall St. listed all 50 states on metrics of black and white inequality. Wisconsin topped the list, joining other Midwest states Iowa (#10), Illinois (#5) and Minnesota (#2) in the top 10

Here is some of the information used to show Wisconsin as the worst for black Americans:

The median annual income of black households in Wisconsin is just $26,053, much lower than the median for black families nationwide and equal to just 46.5 percent the median income of white Wisconsin households of $56,083.

While 29.9 percent of white adults in Wisconsin have at least a bachelor's degree, 12.8 percent of black adults in the state have completed college. This is also much lower than the bachelor degree attainment rate among black adults nationwide of 19.7 percent.

For black Wisconsin residents, the unemployment rate is 11.1 percent — higher than the national unemployment rate for all black Americans, and far higher than the white unemployment rate of 4.1 percent in Wisconsin.

Compared with white people in the United States, 24/7 Wall St. reports that African-Americans are considerably less likely to own their homes, twice as likely to be unemployed, nearly three times as likely to live in poverty and five times more likely to go to prison. 24/7 Wall St.'s report also looks at segregation, incarceration and education.
