There aren't even 400,000 black families worth $1 mil, why do we think we just need to work harder?

You mentioned reparations in the Bezos thread and I agree that 60 trillion dollars owed to African Americans is the answer. America needs to pay what they owe us.

No other answer.

Because white people been getting hand outs from the gov't this whole time.

We're so late in the game that corporations made the law consider them people in the political sphere.
the problem here is a lack of info. 1how do you know that is a accurate reflection of our current institution?2 marcus garvey already prove that the white man is a liar when he got the black community to give up 10 million dollars collectively to his unia organization in the 20's and 30's. 2 madame cj walker got to pull 8 million dollars out of the hood during that same period. the white man is a liar.

Lack of info?

Give me a benchmark for information and let me see if I can meet it.

Because every one in the OP is black.

Because the Twitter generation is hard press to look at any issue in a historical context

This is a subject that many blacks don't want to see or are afraid to discuss, for every breh doing good has another 10000 or more in the most complete poverty with zero generational wealth. Not for lack of effort but because the system is made to keep us down.

Reversing a game that has shaped for centuries can take forever or not even happen :snoopbald:

:sadcam:

That's ridiculous.

The only solution to our problem is socialism/communism...and taking capital from White people and distributing it evenly...
How do you convince white people to give their wealth to us? They were largely opposed to Obamacare because it was perceived as a wealth transfer from them to non-whites. How do you think they would feel about full blown socialism or communism? Do you plan to persuade enough of them that this is a good idea or will it have to be forced on them?

And if this is our only hope, what happens if this plan doesnt work? We're doomed?

Breh, we know damn well that there will be no reparations :francis:

Afro americans/brazilians/latinos/caribbeans, it's all the same ol' story.

The only thing left for us to do is race against time to ensure at least a decent future for our families :francis:

Yeah, I always get mad when folks expect white people to do something that actually help us. How many more decades have to go by before we say "fukk you" back to them, and figure put how to be financially independent? Trump was their biggest middle finger yet. But I guess marching, and hoping makes people feel better, so they would rather do that. We can't even stay in our neighborhoods, and help fix anything when we get money. It's "YAY! I'm going to go live, and pay taxes so white kids can have a nice school." Are the white people going to these protests collecting resumes, and hooking people up with jobs? We have black millionaire entertainers who can't even fund black businesses. How about a school for the arts, and not only teach kids how to play instruments, but train them to be lighting and sound engineers?


Don't get me started on successful blacks marrying white, then passing their money on to people who eventually breed the black out, then all their hard work is lost.

Two fold questions I have towards that stat.
1) has the number of black families in the 1mil range increased since recording of the stats and if so at what rate.
2) What is looked at to determine why

You can't make a logical determinataion without examining why something has occured.

Truth OP.

But I never speak on working harder........but work smarter. Also be smart with your money because we are closer to the edge. We are the last hired, but first fired so that means your earning potential in years in shorter.

So every dollar counts and the goal should always be leave your offspring with something even if it is 1k. Cause every bit counts to closing the economical gap and not being a economical slave.
