Explanation / Answer

D. Lower Household incomes, coupled with overall population growth, are causing the purchasing power of the African American consumers to decrease significantly.

African Americans are three times more likely than whites to have incomes below the poverty line. African Americans are the only racial group the Census Bureau identifies that has been left behind. White, Asian and Hispanic households have all seen at least modest income gains since 2000. The black unemployment rate is nearly double the white unemployment rate. It's been that way since the Labor Department began keeping track of unemployment by race in the early 1970s. Black Americans also receive substantially lower wages than whites and Asians.
