Creditworthy by Association
Credit is a necessary tool for consumption and wealth accumulation. However, credit invisibility, a low credit history, or none at all, diminishes its power. Some credit‐invisible borrowers recoup credit's power through a cosigner, someone who guarantees a loan to unlock lower interest rates and favorable terms. While the benefits of a cosigner are well known, less is known about the distribution of access to one. If access to a cosigner is distr…
Racially tiered credit markets
Financial inclusion advocates push for banks to locate and lend in financially excluded neighborhoods. However, these advocates assume that banks affect all neighborhoods equally and overlook how financial inclusion may become predatory inclusion in black segregated neighborhoods. To address this oversight, the present study investigates whether tiered credit markets persist across black and white segregated neighborhoods after a bank branch open…
Wakanda forever! Consistency in correlates of black nationalist tendencies
Objective: This study investigates correlates of black nationalist tendencies , defined as endorsing sentiments consistent with black nationalism. Black nationalism is an ideology that advocates for cultural, economic, political, and social separatism, and/or community autonomy and self‐reliance as survival tactics. Warrant for this study arises from the opinion black nationalism is an anachronism—a throwback to the 1920s, late 1960s, or early 19…
Four More Years! or So What
This study investigated the mental health significance of Barack Obama's 2012 presidential re-election among Blacks. Upon his re-election, we hypothesized Blacks would either feel symbolic empowerment or relative deprivation. They would feel symbolic empowerment because a man who identifies as Black won re-election to the nation's highest office. His second victory should generate optimism, given his status as a historic first. Alternatively, the…

Changes in Racial Apathy Among White Young Adults
This study investigates changes in racial apathy among white young adults using nationally representative panel survey data from the NSYR. Our regression models include social background, social values, and academic orientation variables specified as important correlates of racial apathy in prior cross-sectional studies. We also include interracial contact variables, which existing studies neglect. According to intergroup contact theory, interrac…
Intergroup Contact and White Racial Apathy
Scholars theorize racial apathy is one form contemporary white racial prejudice takes. Racial apathy signals not caring about racial inequality. Invoking intergroup contact theory, we hypothesize interracial contact would predict less racial apathy among whites. To test our hypothesis, we analyze survey data from white teenagers participating in the 2003 National Study of Youth and Religion (NSYR). We find interracial contact matters and its incl…
Belief in systemic racism and self-employment among working blacks
Scholars theorize that black–white disparities in self-employment persist because of racial disparities in human capital (e.g. educational attainment) and financial capital (e.g. assets). Such disparities represent the enduring economic legacy of racism. Yet, racism may also mobilize working blacks to pursue self-employment. In this study, we address whether working blacks’ racial capital – operationalized as belief in the significance of systemi…
The Racially Unequal Impacts of Disasters and Federal Recovery Assistance on Local Self-Employment Rates
This study examines racial inequalities in changing self-employment rates associated with natural hazard impacts and federal recovery assistance in ethnoracially diverse metropolitan counties between 2000 and 2010. It advances the viewpoint that such inequalities can stem from hoarded opportunities tied to white privilege in addition to commonly highlighted social vulnerabilities tied to racial inequities and exclusion. To test that proposition, …
When and Where Residential Racial Segregation Matters for the Black Self-employment Rate
Scholars debate whether residential racial segregation associates positively, negatively, or at all with the Black self-employment rate in the United States. This study engages that debate using data from the Integrated Public Use Microdata Series (IPUMS) 1980, 1990, and 2000 5% sample and 2006–2010 American Community Survey (ACS) 5-year sample. Specifically, I investigate the county-level association between residential racial segregation and th…
A Descriptive Study Using the Comprehensive Race Socialization Inventory
This study examines race socialization, defined as the process whereby individuals learn about the meaning and significance of race and racism. With data from the 2001–2004 National Survey of American Life-Adolescent Supplement (NSAL-A), we analyze responses to the Comprehensive Race Socialization Inventory (CRSI) among 1,170 African American and Caribbean Black adolescents between the ages of 13 and 17 years. The CRSI captures sources, frequency…
Malnutrition in all its forms and socioeconomic status in Bolivia
Objective: To estimate the prevalence of malnutrition (undernutrition and excess BMI) among children under the age of 5 years and women of reproductive age in Bolivia considering three socioeconomic indicators: wealth, education and ethnicity. Design: We used the 2008 nationally representative Bolivian Demographic and Health Survey (DHS). Malnutrition’s prevalence was estimated by wealth, ethnicity and educational level. Wealth index was measured…
The Prevalence, Correlates, and Consequences of Racial Apathy Among Black Teenagers
How African American women experience hypervisibility in Japan and South Korea
African American women visiting certain foreign countries become involuntary spectacles because of their hypervisibility. Their encounters with citizens of those countries signals their status as ‘the other.’ This study asks: how do African American women describe and respond to their hypervisibility in Japan and South Korea? Data include descriptions of 405 encounters recorded in weblogs written by African American women visiting Japan and South…
Who Cares
Survey researchers theorize that how whites express racial prejudice changes across time. They argue one of its contemporary forms is racial apathy (i.e., not caring about racial equality). However, few empirical studies characterize racial apathy. To fill this gap, the present study addresses consistency in racial apathy across time at the population level and individual level. Using three waves of panel data (i.e., 2003, 2007-2008, and 2013) fr…
How Incarceration Influences Native-Born Black Men’s Risk of Obesity
Public health researchers should treat former incarceration with greater care in studies including native-born Black men because time spent incarcerated has lingering physical health significance
