Kevin Hart: There is a Financial Literacy and Knowledge gap in the Black Community

[UpAndComing]

8:13


- "The gap isn't there because we aren't smart, it comes because we have to search for the information, it's not provided for us"

- "9 times out of 10, the discovery comes when we are 30 years old. We are behind White America by 15 years"

- "Making the money is good, but it's more about taking care of the money when you have it"

- "That businesses that are in the hood are owned and operated by people that aren't us"

- "We have to look at the world we are in, and how we are set up to lose"



Kevin dropping knowledge

I remember when kevin hart and charlamayne used to be the same complexion.
but i digress, i agree with OP's bullet points.

 

[ThrobbingHood]

Somehow, someway, someone will spin this to shyt on Kevin. Nothing but respect for this man and his growth.

 

[Amerikan Melanin]

I wouldn’t be surprised if Kevin been listening to Tariq Nasheed after that beef they had.

 

[Family Lives Matter]

This will turn into ados Vs everybody else or Kevin is a c00n somehow I guarantee it

 

[NinoBrown]

This is common knowledge though but I am happy the message is being spread...

 

[skokiaan]

All this been known.

What is being done and how? What works and what doesn't? How are black people values and beliefs facilitators and barriers? And no! Prayers, violence (you wont win) and reperations wont work (not gon happen).

All facts. It’s no-brainier that adult finances should be mandatory curriculum in high school. The system is purposely trying to keep the masses ignorant, and as usual, Black folks are positioned to be most screwed by this.

I’m already working 60 hours a week, you want me to manage both time and money?

Of course you gotta “search” for it , we been knowin this

 

[Tim2520]

Gettin in before this thread turns to shyt, definitely agree with the bulletin points in op

 

[breakfuss]

Yep, he's stating the obvious but it doesn't hurt to repeat. Like @R.E.N. Spells Ren mentioned how this stuff isn't taught in school (along with shyt like taxes, credit, civic engagement) is mind-blowing. Definitely makes you wonder.
