According to Darity and Myers

A) black men are becoming increasingly marginal to our economy
B) the basic cause of poverty is welfare dependency
C) the best solution to poverty is the negative income tax
D) as our economy continues to expand,black poverty will decline

Darity and Myers argue that black men are becoming increasingly marginal to our economy, meaning they are being left behind in terms of employment opportunities and economic growth. They highlight the systemic barriers faced by black individuals in accessing quality education and job opportunities, leading to higher rates of poverty. They do not suggest that welfare dependency is the basic cause of poverty, nor do they advocate for the negative income tax as the best solution to poverty. They also argue that economic expansion alone may not guarantee poverty reduction for the black community.
