I knew shyt was bad, but never saw any exact numbers on it.
Black marriage, stable 2 parent households is our best bet!

i disagree with the conclusion.
A COLLEGE DEGREE AND MARRIAGE FAILS TO YIELD SIGNIFICANT WEALTH GAINS FOR BLACK WOMEN
The story of the American Dream proclaims that opportunities for economic success are open to anyone with pure grit, gumption, and merit regardless of race. A college education is viewed as a key driver of upward mobility and the primary vehicle to eradicate racial differences in economic success. In reality, while a college degree may result in some improvement in life outcomes, it does little to undo the massive differences in wealth across race.
-Single black women without a bachelor’s degree ages 40–59 have a net worth range of just $1,000 to $2,000.
INCREASED AGE AND EDUCATION DO NOT NECESSARILY TRANSLATE INTO WEALTH FOR BLACK WOMEN
Single young women (under age 40), regardless of race and education, are beginning their adult years with very little if any wealth. Single white women with a college education begin to build more wealth in their 40s, but single white women who lack a college degree have low wealth levels at all ages. On the other hand, married white women, especially those with college degrees, are able to build wealth across age groups.
Black women are the most disadvantaged as they show negative median wealth at different ages regardless of marital status. Single black women in their 20s without a degree have zero wealth and the typical single black women with a college degree is $11,000 in debt. Married black women in their 30s and with college degrees are $20,000 in debt. One reason for the wealth gap among college educated single women is that black women have the highest level of student debt and struggle to pay off the debt in early adulthood despite working full-time. Between 2009 and 2012, white women who graduated in the 2007–08 school year paid off an average of 33 percent of their student debt, while black women in that group managed to pay off less than 10 percent of their student debt.
As a result, black women are less able to build wealth by saving for retirement or purchasing a home. Further, when we examine women’s wealth near retirement (ages 60+), we see that white women are better positioned for stable retirement. This is especially the case if they are married and college educated, since they have nearly two times the wealth of black married women with bachelor’s degrees. Married white women without a college degree have nearly four times the wealth of their black counterparts. Older, single black women with a college degree have a mere $11,000 in wealth, which is the lowest of all groups in that age range and is in stark contrast to the $384,400 in median wealth among single white women with a bachelor’s degree.

CONCLUSION Samuel DuBois Cook Center on Social Equity and Insight Center for Community Economic Development
The data presented here shows us that neither marriage, a college education nor a lifetime of work provides the answer for equalizing opportunity between black and white women. Black and white women are positioned differently from one another largely because white women benefit more from wealth being passed down from their families. Intergenerational transfers like financing a college education, providing help with the down payment on a house and other gifts to seed asset accumulation are central sources of wealth building. Given past and present barriers that have kept black families from building wealth, private action and market forces alone cannot be expected to address wide-scale racial wealth inequality that is gendered.
