Some Canadian statistics are here:
http://www.statcan.gc.ca/pub/11f0019m/11f0019m2005240-eng.pdf -- it has
some comparison with the US, although it was done back in 2005. I'm sure
I've seen more recent Statistics Canada material on income quintiles and
trends within Canada as well.

Do you have Canadian stats  -- including other minority group/classes? I
do not know how US statistics compare to Canadian statistics, and that
too not limited to just " black and white" persons.

Thanks,
Mona

the Brandeis U (MA) study.  The study's authors also said the true

estate & home ownership.  
	
	And, just one of the ripple effects of such massive wealth
inequality is demonstrated in yesterday's (5/17) Chicago Tribune report 
	on the huge disparities in how city parks and playlots are
maintained, renovated, resourced and staffed, between black and white
Chicago neighborhoods.  
	Same as what "Play Across Boston" study w/ Harvard School of
Public Health researchers found 10 years ago, and on and on across
America.
