EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A severe global recession has brought heightened attention to poverty in the United States as the poverty rate rose over time, leveling off at 15.0% in 2011. Recent U.S. Census Bureau data demonstrates the persistence of higher poverty rates for African Americans, Latinos, Asian Americans, Children, single mothers, people with disabilities, and other groups, for example. An earlier Williams Institute study and other research showed that lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB)
people we are also more vulnerable to being poor, and this
study updates and extends that earlier report.

Alexander, Michelle, The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness
Chapter 5: The New Jim Crow
It was no ordinary Sunday morning when presidential candidate Barack Obama stepped to the podium at the Apostolic Church of God in Chicago. It was Father’s Day. Hundreds of enthusiastic congregants packed the pews at the overwhelmingly black church eager to hear what the first black Democratic nominee for president of the United States had to say.
The message was a familiar one: black men should better fathers. Too many are absent from their homes. For those in the audience, Obama’s speech was an old tune sung by an exciting new performer. His message of personal responsibility, particularly as it relates to fatherhood, was anything but new; it had been delivered countless times by black ministers in churches across America. The message had also been delivered on a national stage by celebrities such as Bill Crosby and Sidney Poitier. And the message had been delivered with great passion by Louis Farrakhan, who more than a decade earlier summoned one million black men to Washington, D. C. for a day of “atonement” and recommitment to their families and communities.
The mainstream media, however, treated the event as big news, and many pundits seemed surprised that the black congregants actually applauded the message. For them, it was remarkable that black people nodded in approval when Barack Obama said “If we are honest with ourselves, we’ll admit that too many fathers are missing-missing from too many lives and too man y homes. Too many fathers are MIA. Too many fathers are AWOL. They have abandoned their responsibilities. They’re acting like boys instead of men. And the foundations of our families are weaker because of it. You and I know this is true everywhere, but nowhere is this more true than in the African American community.”
The media did not ask—and Obama did not tell—where the missing facts might be found.
The following day, social critical and sociologist Michael Eric Dyson published a critique of Obama’s speech in Time magazine. He pointed out that the stereotype of black men being poor fathers may well be false. Research by Boston College social psychologist Rebekah Levine Coley found that black fathers not living at home are more likely to keep in contact with their children than fathers of any other ethnic or racial group. Dyson chided Obama for evoking a black stereotype for political gain, pointing out that “Obama’s words may have been spoken to
1
black folk, but they were aimed at those whites still on the fence about home to send to the White House.” Dyson’s critique was a fair one, but like other media commentators he remained silent about where all the absent black fathers could be found. He identified numerous s.

Minorities in American Dream
Minorities do not Equal Access to the American Dream
Teddy Chou
Oregon State University
In this new world, people who are from all over the world have been moving into America and intending to start and live a better life. Emigrants from Africa, Europe, South America, and Asia, among other regions of the world, have all come in the US hoping for better political, economic and social conditions. They just have one thing in their minds, and that is to achieve the American dream. In addition, the American Dream is just like that life should be better, richer and fuller for every person, with opportunity for each based on his ability or achievement. It is a national spirit that represents the best possible life of the American population. Everyone has an opportunity to be successful, lead a prosperous life, and have the freedom to climb up the economic ladder along with their family and children, without any regard to their origin or social class. Also, the United States usually declared the independence that is the American Dream should let all people are equal and have the freedom to enjoy life, liberty, and happiness. Furthermore, practically, realizing the American dream is to own a house built on a private land. President Bill Clinton emphasized that for one to realize this dream, they have to work hard in order to have a chance for personal development and advancement. Living the American Dream is the principal goal for the majority of American citizens and those that have been fighting to attain American citizenship. However, the realization of this dream has proved to be a nightmare for most Americans because of many reasons (Cullen, 2004, p. 124). And then the American Dream for most American has been rendered unrealistic and impossible to achieve.
In 2000, after many years of significant economic development and success, the rate of poverty of both Latino and African American populations was still close to three times higher than that of the white American white population. Even though this difference was alarming, the previous decades had seen worse with higher disparities recorded. When the economy made a slow turn to the worse after 2000, the rate of poverty among the minorities rose significantly higher than that of the whites. They result in a widened poverty gap and make the realization of the American Dream among them even seem impossible (Soyer, 2016). Although the number of Americans living in poverty reduced by over a million between 2004 and 2005, the poverty levels of the minorities heightened.
Gender has also been an obstacle for most people to achieve the American Dream. Since ancient times, the men have been viewed by the society as stronger, able and the host of their families. This notion has identified women as a minority gender and made it difficult for them to get ahead of society’s stereotype against them. A majority of them have been trapped in a society that limits ...

SYMPOSIUM: IMMIGRATION, CITIZENSHIP, AND THE AMERICAN DREAM
Which American Dream Do You Mean?
David Stoll
Published online: 7 July 2009

Abstract According to the latest U.S. Census projection,
the arrival of immigrants and their higher birthrates,
projected forward at current rates, will turn the U.S. into a
“minority–majority” society in 2042, 8 years earlier than
the Census used to predict. Liberals tend to view immigra-
tion to the U.S. as a human right, but many employers prefer
to hire immigrants because they can be paid less than the
cost of reproducing their labor-that is, the cost of keeping
an American family above the poverty line. One way of
looking at the resulting debates over U.S. immigration
policy is in terms of moral economy, that is, how different
factions compete for moral authority in order to gain
control over a desired good. In this case, the desired good
is American citizenship, including access to the highest
consumption rates on the planet, and national definitions of
citizenship are competing with transnational or globalist
definitions of citizenship. Constructing moral rhetoric for
either national or transnational definitions of citizenship
requires excluding information that does not serve the
cause. One way of spotlighting the omissions is to look at
each moral economy as a highly selective version of the
American Dream.
Keywords Comprehensive immigration reform .
Census projection . Minority–majority
In his campaign for president, Barack Obama promised a
comprehensive immigration reform that will probably
include legalizing undocumented immigrants. So as we
stumble out of the rubble of our credit collapse, activists
and talking heads will return to this contentious subject. In
2007, 38 million people or 12.6% of the U.S. population
was foreign-born. According to the latest U.S. Census
projection, the arrival of immigrants and their higher
birthrates, projected forward at current rates, will turn the
U.S. into a “minority–majority” society in 2042, 8 years
earlier than the Census used to predict. That is, the
percentage of people who we define as non-Hispanic
whites (currently 65% of the population) will decline to
less than 50% of the U.S. population. In 15 years people
who we currently define as minorities will comprise more
than half of all children, and by 2050 they will comprise
54% of the population.
Statistical trends such as these are quick to provoke
indignation. Some Americans are horrified that, in 2008,
the U.S. government forcibly deported 361,000 people,
almost ninety percent of them Mexicans and Central
Americans. The deportees include people who made their
lives in the United States, and they have many relatives,
friends and employers who feel their human rights have
been violated. Other Americans are horrified that immi-
grants who deliberately broke the law, who did so
repeatedly to smuggle in their relatives, and who may
continue to do so, w ...

Race and Ethnicity
The Power of Society
Is our choice to cast a vote for a particular candidate a purely “personal” decision?
In the 2016 presidential election, 58 percent of non-Hispanic white people voted for Donald Trump.
If only white people had voted, the election would have been a Republican landslide.
But Hillary Clinton received overwhelming support from Asian Americans (65 percent), Hispanic Americans (66 percent), and especially African Americans (88 percent).
If only these categories of the population had voted, the election would have been a Democratic landslide of historic proportion.
The political choices people make when they vote in elections are not simply personal preferences, but they also reflect race, ethnicity, and other societal factors.

Race
Socially constructed category of people who share biologically transmitted traits that members of a society consider important

No society contains biologically “pure” people.
There is more genetic variation within each racial category than between categories.

According to projections from the Census Bureau, the United States will have a minority majority in the year 2044, less than thirty years from now.
By that time, as the figure shows, the white, non-Hispanic population will actually decline, as the number of Asian Americans, African Americans, and especially Hispanic Americans increases.
What changes do you expect this trend will bring to the United States?

Global Situational Awareness of A.I. and where its headedvikram sood
You can see the future first in San Francisco.
Over the past year, the talk of the town has shifted from $10 billion compute clusters to $100 billion clusters to trillion-dollar clusters. Every six months another zero is added to the boardroom plans. Behind the scenes, there’s a fierce scramble to secure every power contract still available for the rest of the decade, every voltage transformer that can possibly be procured. American big business is gearing up to pour trillions of dollars into a long-unseen mobilization of American industrial might. By the end of the decade, American electricity production will have grown tens of percent; from the shale fields of Pennsylvania to the solar farms of Nevada, hundreds of millions of GPUs will hum.
The AGI race has begun. We are building machines that can think and reason. By 2025/26, these machines will outpace college graduates. By the end of the decade, they will be smarter than you or I; we will have superintelligence, in the true sense of the word. Along the way, national security forces not seen in half a century will be un-leashed, and before long, The Project will be on. If we’re lucky, we’ll be in an all-out race with the CCP; if we’re unlucky, an all-out war.
Everyone is now talking about AI, but few have the faintest glimmer of what is about to hit them. Nvidia analysts still think 2024 might be close to the peak. Mainstream pundits are stuck on the wilful blindness of “it’s just predicting the next word”. They see only hype and business-as-usual; at most they entertain another internet-scale technological change.
Before long, the world will wake up. But right now, there are perhaps a few hundred people, most of them in San Francisco and the AI labs, that have situational awareness. Through whatever peculiar forces of fate, I have found myself amongst them. A few years ago, these people were derided as crazy—but they trusted the trendlines, which allowed them to correctly predict the AI advances of the past few years. Whether these people are also right about the next few years remains to be seen. But these are very smart people—the smartest people I have ever met—and they are the ones building this technology. Perhaps they will be an odd footnote in history, or perhaps they will go down in history like Szilard and Oppenheimer and Teller. If they are seeing the future even close to correctly, we are in for a wild ride.
Let me tell you what we see.

Adjusting OpenMP PageRank : SHORT REPORT / NOTESSubhajit Sahu
For massive graphs that fit in RAM, but not in GPU memory, it is possible to take
advantage of a shared memory system with multiple CPUs, each with multiple cores, to
accelerate pagerank computation. If the NUMA architecture of the system is properly taken
into account with good vertex partitioning, the speedup can be significant. To take steps in
this direction, experiments are conducted to implement pagerank in OpenMP using two
different approaches, uniform and hybrid. The uniform approach runs all primitives required
for pagerank in OpenMP mode (with multiple threads). On the other hand, the hybrid
approach runs certain primitives in sequential mode (i.e., sumAt, multiply).

Relations between blacks and whites IN REACENT TIMES
1.
2. ACCORDING TO
RESAERCHES 57%
OF THE BLACK
POPULATION WAS
ILLATE IN THE 1990
WHICH
EXPERIANCED A
DOWNFALL AND
WAS 14% IN 2010
3. On November 4,
2008, Democratic Senator
Barack Obama
defeated
Republican Senator
John McCain
to become the first African
American to be elected
President. At least 95 percent
of African-American voters
voted for Obama. He also
received overwhelming
support from young and
educated whites
4. The wealth of white
households was 13 times the
median wealth of black
households in 2013,
compared with eight times
the wealth in 2010, according
to a new Pew Research
Center analysis of data from
the Federal Reserve’s Survey
of Consumer Finances.
Likewise, the wealth of white
households is now more than
10 times the wealth of
Hispanic households,
compared with nine times
the wealth in 2010.
The current gap between
blacks and whites has
reached its highest point
since 1989, when whites had
17 times the wealth of black
households.
5. Those who identified only as African American
made up 13.2% of the U.S. population-over41.7
million people. The US Census Bureau projects
that by the year 2060 there will be74.5
million African Americans including those of more
than one race in the United States, making up
17.9% of the total U.S. population.
WHITE AMERICANS
= 72.2%
AFRICAN AMERICANS
= 13.2%
6. Even after having 9,826,657 km2 the 12.7% of
blacks lived with the density of 67 per km2 but
after 2005 this changed to 34.2 per km2
7. The major underlying factors producing child
poverty in the United States are welfare
dependence and single parenthood.
Race is not a factor in producing child poverty; race
alone does not directly increase or decrease the
probability that a child will be poor.
When a black child is compared with a white child
raised in identical circumstances, both children will
have the same probability of living in poverty.
Similarly, when whites with high levels of single
parenthood and welfare dependence (matching
those typical in the black community) are
compared to blacks, the poverty rates for both
groups are nearly identical.
Black American children are more likely to live in
poverty than are white children, primarily because
black children are far more likely to live in single-
parent families and to be on welfare.
8. When African-
Americans and
Whites marry, there
is 2.65 times more
likely to be an
African-American
husband and a white
wife. In fact, 73
percent of all
African-American
and White marriages
have this setup.
9. According to the U.S. Religious
Landscape Survey, conducted in 2007
by the Pew Research Center’s Forum
on Religion & Public Life, Black
Americans “are markedly more
religious on a variety of measures
than the U.S. population as a whole.”
It cited that 87% of Blacks (vs. 83% of
all Americans) are affiliated with a
religion. It also found that 79 % of
Blacks (vs. 56% overall) say that
religion is “very important in their
life”.
10. Fewer than one in three black Americans and
not even half of whites say the United States
has made “a lot” of progress toward
achieving racial equality in the half-century
since the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
declared he had “a dream” that one day
freedom, justice and brotherhood would
prevail and that his children would “not be
judged by the color of their skin but by the
content of their character
