Black Women’s Equal Pay Day is on Aug. 22. The day marks how far into the year full-time black women workers must work to earn as much as their white male colleagues.

due to the wage gap. If she and a white male counterpart started a job at the same time, this would mean that a black woman would have to work until age 86 to make what her white male colleague earned by age 60.

“We need a special day to really understand what happens to this population,” Bell said. “If not, they remain invisible.”1. Value black women’s work Take note of the hardworking, driven, motivated black women around you and value their contributions, Bell said. With many black women coming into the workforce with business degrees from top-tier schools, there’s still an expectation that they will have to work twice as hard for promotions, Bell added.

😂 They already get paid equally.

Where is the data that supports this claim?

I wonder how a White Women’s Equal Pay day promo would sit with everyone—or would that be racist, aoc? Hypocrites EqualOpportunityPoliticalFuckery WhiteSupremacyHoax WhiteSupremacyLie

What's the day when their IQ catches up? Is NEVER a holiday too?

So if they get paid less, then why aren't businesses hiring more of them to save money?

😂😂😂 NBC- Every one of our viewers is RACIST. ~The End~ Now you don't need to sit through our newscasts with endlessly depressing anti-depressant drug commercials. 💊💉

They only have to work 7 1/2 months to make what white men make in 12? Cool story, idiots!

So black women have to work till august while white men have to work the whole year?
