Cash flow alone cannot explain racial stock ownership gaps
Evidence
Part of the problem is attributable to the reality that even high-income black Americans have less money available to invest; remember, income and wealth are not the same, and even black and white Americans with comparably high incomes don’t have the same amount of wealth, for all of the reasons we’ve already explored. But there is more to the story than just cash flow: Access, trust, and history have all shaped today’s black and white investment practices. — Dorothy A. Brown, The Whiteness of Wealth, 454
