From thre article :

"Research shows that the legal changes in the civil rights era created new employment and housing opportunities. In the 1960s and the 1970s''

The problem is that black economic oppurtunities were already slowing in the 70s ( especially under the administratin of Carter ), NOT BECUASE of Reganomics ( which did not exist and is defined incrrectly by the author ) but becuase of th economic ewcession created by Democratic policies especially the unsustainable spending by Johnson which led to the recessions as the dollar could no longer be tied to gold.

But even the growth that we saw in the 70s was still in the fields where they were already accepted, there was hardly any growth in new fields 9 like physicians )

The article is as mature as it its with the use of the childish idiom - realest

You're economic "facts" miss the point. The title of the jobs report you cite is:

Blacks in the 1970's: Did they scale the job ladder? More blacks obtained white-collar jobs but fewer penetrated higher-salaried positions; mobility in higher paid blue-collar jobs was somewhat more impressive

The title alone is enough to conclude the accuracy of Warren's statements. African Americans did not achieve parity in the workplace due to discriminatory practices preventing an equal sharing of job growth. African Americans did not see the same participation as others in the job growth of the time. "Trickle down" or "Reaganomics" has never achieved any improvement in the economic situation of the 90%. This type of flawed economic theory has only ever benefitted the wealthiest.

Titles are not facts ... the content of the report that bares the title says differently

Your attempt to deceive is noted as it will to anyone else who reads the study
