The author examines the degree of compatibility between the two goals of racial equity and equality. This is done by a regression standardization procedure which projects future levels of black-white earnings ratio. The most interesting projections deal with the assumptions of racial equity in labor market and educational institutions. The results show convergence of the black-white ratio to be a very slow process--another fifty years for it to reach 95. To the extent that racial equality is a goal of public policy, the findings show that this cannot be achieved without reverse discrimination.
