These effects of the initial cause, wage payers using the courts to provide themselves cheap labor, push down on eligible voter rates and election to office as well, which makes sense if election takes expensive campaign expenditure and time off working in order to win. Those with the wealth to take time off work to campaign, and to generate the publicity that translates into higher campaign contributions dominate the highest elected office and participation rates compared to ethnicities with lower median incomes (Barak, Leighton and Flavin 108). The result is that minorities lack the power to change public policy and thus the institutions that represent higher incidence of blacks and Latinos in prisons; lower earnings for everyone but white males; education disparities which aggravate earnings differentials; different law enforcement for minorities and whites; all the mechanisms that perpetuate discrimination, evidence of which persists year after year in official demographic statistics, whatever the cause.


I have argued that alienation and disparity of power; wealth and status for minorities can be the result of minorities' inability to perform up to white standards; the white institutions' inability to integrate minorities, or these differences are intentional.
