Joe Biden Explains Why He Has Not Done Anything For His Black Voters

Damn, that man’s approval rating is terrible.

They provide large political donations.

We’re the only group who expects politicians to do stuff for us in exchange for votes. It’s about money. And the black millionaires aren’t demanding meetings, and throwing money at these politicians.

It really pisses me off how we refuse to think logically, and not emotionally.

No disrespect, but how do you know this information? Is there a place online where donations given by group and/or ethnicity is tracked?

I ask, because it’s assumed that we don’t donate much, which would be a good assumption based on our overall wealth numbers, but Hispanics aren’t doing too much better, so I’d find it hard to believe they’re pushing out donations like that. I just want to know where you can see that information

There are black lobbyists but from the look of it they sellout

We’ve got some of the wrong people in power within our ranks. That seems to be a big issue.

This interview is wild

I think your half wrong the black political class and I include black lobbyists as a part of that as well that sellout do value wealth for themself and the people close to them that why they sellout in the first place there is no wealth or safe harbor give by the dominate society for those members of the black political class who try to use their position of power and influence to empower the black community only a whole lot of from powerful members of the dominate society who want to keep the status quo of black people being permanent social economic bottom class.

What I mean is, when we get money, we buy stuff, not property. We buy stuff, not investments. We buy stuff, not run for local office, or put money in our politician’s pockets.

A lot of Hispanics pass for, and identify as white. So keep that in mind. A lot of immigrant communities work together, and provide for their people. They have organizations that provide tax prep, calls home to their original countries, job assistance, etc. we don’t organize, and work together. It’s very much:

Work, get money, spend money on stuff

We don’t get as involved politically, and our neighborhoods don’t improve. There was a video of a street in Ohio, and one side was nice, but the other side was all run down, and boarded up. The white man filming it was telling voters to remember this when local and state elections happen. Meanwhile, a lot of us don’t even know who our local politicians are, and there are too many people not voting, and telling each other not to vote, thinking it doesn’t matter. And that’s not limited to low income black people. The “don’t vote” message spreads across all income brackets in the black community. Look at the lyrics to our music. Drugs, sex, and violence.

We need to stop teaching our kids that things will always be against them, and start taking matters into our own hands. We need to start stressing the importance of entrepreneurship, two parent households, and community.

OK I going to have politely disagree with everything your are saying I think you really need to read these two report.

What We Get Wrong About Closing the Racial Wealth Gap – The Samuel DuBois Cook Center on Social Equity

The racial wealth gap in America is both striking and durable. It is neither inexplicable that the gap exists, given the history of the country, nor surprising that it persists, given the nature of wealth. As the authors note in this report:

“[W]ealth begets more wealth. Higher levels of wealth enable greater access to more favorable terms for credit. Wealth provides individuals and families with financial agency and choice; it provides economic security to take risks and shields against the risk of economic loss. Basically, wealth is cumulative. It provides people with the necessary capital to secure finance and purchase an appreciating asset, which in turn, will generate more and more wealth (Hamilton, 2017). Literally, it takes wealth to make wealth, while blacks largely have been excluded from intergenerational access to capital and finance.”

It is perhaps because these inequities in wealth are so large that many feel compelled to try to explain why they exist. And so they offer myriad explanations for the wealth gap, each of which this report painstakingly debunks.

Key Findings

• The median black household holds just ten percent of the wealth of median white household, and while blacks constitute thirteen percent of America’s population, they hold less than three percent of its wealth.
• None of the myths commonly offered to explain away the racial wealth gap–a need for greater educational attainment, homeownership, or entrepreneurship; a lack of proper savings behavior, financial literacy, or commitment to “buying and banking black”; or a renewed focus towards soft skills, personal responsibility, improved family structures, or emulating successful minorities–come close to accounting for the vastness of the gap.
• Often these myths aren’t just wrong, but the exact opposite is true. For example, on the topic of savings behavior: “A study conducted by the Institute on Assets and Social Policy using the 2013 Survey of Consumer Finances found that, at comparable levels of income, whites spend 1.3 times more than blacks.” Or, when it comes to prioritizing education, black families tend to be more supportive of children’s education (through direct financial support) than white families in similar households and socioeconomic positions.

Still Running Up the Down Escalator: How Narratives Shape our Understanding of Racial Wealth Inequality – The Samuel DuBois Cook Center on Social Equity

“Still Running Up the Down Escalator: How Narratives Shape our Understanding of Racial Wealth Inequality,” a new report from the Insight Center for Community Economic Development and the Samuel DuBois Cook Center on Social Equity at Duke University, makes a powerful case for dismantling the current understanding of the economic situation of Black Americans.

Notably, as the report makes clear, the median Black household ($24,100) holds about 12 cents for every dollar of wealth held by the median White family ($188,200) – a disparity that has remained largely unchanged since 1989. When considering mean wealth figures, the gap is more than five times as big.

“We focus all our policy efforts on pushing Black people to run up the down escalator faster, rather than focusing on the fact that they are forced to climb a down-escalator in the first place,” write authors Natasha Hicks, Fenaba Addo, Anne Price, and William Darity Jr.

Most notably, the report:

• Estimates and explains the depths of racial wealth disparities in America, which arose via systematic exclusion of Black families from wealth-building opportunities throughout the 19th and 20th centuries and the willingness of the U.S. government to ignore the 100+ violent White riots in this period that murdered Black people, destroyed their properties, and decimated their communities.
• Highlights harmful narratives that have limited public understanding of which systems caused these disparities and what policies might advance equity. Among the insidious narratives it debunks are anti-blackness, personal responsibility, and bootstrapping.
• Explores how these narratives prevent equity in five key areas: education, homeownership, entrepreneurship, income, and family structure. Specifically, Black individuals do not experience the same benefits of education or homeownership as their White peers, and they face significant, systemic hurdles in establishing businesses and finding jobs.
• Identifies and outlines changes to address the causes of racial wealth inequality and to foster a “truly just and fair economy.”

Bozo shyt. What did you think of it?

I don't think he plans to do anything for black people. A layup would be to give the action to Kamala. It would help repair her image with the black community but they are too dense to even do that.
