Citing a new study, the report said the white-to-Black wealth now stands at an astonishing ratio of 6 to 1.

For every dollar the average white American has, the average Black American has only about 17 cents.

The median is even worse: for every dollar the median white household has, the median Black household has just 10 cents.
