Wage gap for Black women in today's society

Fragment of a discussion from Talk:SOCI370/DuBois

Your point of discrimination against African American women actually reminds me of a article I read as well; the article was called "What Colour is Your English?" by Gillian Creese and Edith Ngene Kambere. I read this article in Introduction Sociology and Canadian Studies and I think many people in the class must have read it as well. A lot of people in the discussion so far have talked about how African American women are discriminated against through the colour of their skin but in this article Creese and Kambere talk about how African women are also discriminated against through their accents, they are though to have limited English skills due to their accents even though they may be really educated, fluent in English and hold post-secondary degrees.
