A groundbreaking exposé of racism in the American taxation system from a law professor and expert on tax policy“Important reading for those who want to understand how inequality is built into the bedrock of American society, and what a more equitable future might look like.”—Ibram X. Kendi, #1 New York Times bestselling author of How to Be an AntiracistDorothy A. Brown became a tax lawyer to get away from race. As a young black girl growing up in the South Bronx, she’d seen how racism limited the lives of her family and neighbors. Her law school classes offered a refreshing contrast: Tax law was about numbers, and the only color that mattered was green. But when Brown sat down to prepare tax returns for her parents, she found something strange: James and Dottie Brown, a plumber and a nurse, seemed to be paying an unusually high percentage of their income in taxes. When Brown became a law professor, she set out to understand why.In The Whiteness of Wealth, Brown draws on decades of cross-disciplinary research to show that tax law isn’t as color-blind as she’d once believed. She takes us into her adopted city of Atlanta, introducing us to families across the economic spectrum whose stories demonstrate how American tax law rewards the preferences and practices of white people while pushing black people further behind. From attending college to getting married to buying a home, black Americans find themselves at a financial disadvantage compared to their white peers. The results are an ever-increasing wealth gap and more black families shut out of the American dream.Solving the problem will require a wholesale rethinking of America’s tax code. But it will also require both black and white Americans to make different choices. This urgent, actionable book points the way forward.

As a black man, I read this book with great interest. The late Professor Derek Bell, in his book Faces at the Bottom of the Well, wrote that racism is a permanent, integral, and indestructible part of American society. There are several institutions and organizations in this country that are racist. The tax code is not one of them.In a career that has spanned more than 25-years, I have represented dozens of individuals and organizations before the IRS and in the United States Tax Court. Consequently, I have more than a passing familiarity with the federal tax code. The fundamental premise of Professor Brown's thesis is flawed. She admits that the IRS does not have data based on race. The data in her book is based on conjecture, supposition, and opinion presented as fact. The issues that she cites as indica of bias under the tax code are behavioral based and have nothing to do with race.Professor Brown asserts that the best evidence that the tax code is unfair to black people is that the median white family has a net worth of eight times the typical black family’s wealth. According to the Institute for Family Studies, 85% of Asians have two parent families, 74% of whites, 61% of Latinos, and 36% of blacks have two parent families. Two people working together toward a common financial goal are apt to achieve far greater results than a single person. Again, a behavioral issue.Professor Brown argues that black people are far more likely to have jobs that fail to provide 401(k)s and other corporate benefits. Blacks are not the only ones with those jobs. Again, that has nothing to do with the tax code. Professor Brown cited the startling static that 60% of black Americans who start college never finish it. In addition, according to a 2019 Southern Regional Education Board study, only 59% of black males graduate from high school. If you fail to graduate from high school or start college and never finish, what type of job do you expect? The fact is that anyone with a job can save for retirement with an IRA. Again, failing to graduate from high school and failing to complete college are behaviors that have nothing to do with the tax code.I could go on but all of the arguments in the book are based on conjecture and contrived metrics. Professor Brown has crafted sympathetic arguments based on behavior attempting to impute racism to the tax code. The connection is tenuous at best, and illusory in fact.In a culture that has now embraced the repudiation of self-responsibility, Professor Brown’s ideas are finding an audience. The prevarication of facts and the perversion of statistics to perpetuate victimhood by blacks is once again looking for someone other than ourselves to blame for our collective condition. Enough of this nonsense!
