the "wealth gap" isn't the problem IMO...that's just some renched up political term used by Democrats to get people all riled up come election time...
Personally...if blacks folks learned to maximize the disposable income that they do have in a capitalistic way...we (as a community) would move right along with everyone else...
Like it or not...a lot of blacks are financially illiterate.
It's mind boggling what I hear people say. They don't want to work overtime because they think they will be taxed extra. They think a tax refund is winning the lottery when it just means that they had too much deducted from their check.
EDIT: Here is a thread about a man who never made over. $12 an hour but has a paid for house and $500,000. I couldn't believe the amount of people clowning the guy or saying that it is not possible.
