We the black community could've had wealth if

[MBwithadream]

We decided to get/stay married.

Listen God adores marriage all expect maybe Rahab got married and got blessed. Why you think Joseph was told to marry Mary even tho he knew that he did have sex with or couldn't until after Jesus was born? Because wants people to be marry. Why is it when a woman was found to be defied (have sex) without a husband they would kill her? ( Deuteronomy 22)

Most of the time God will blesses you ( if you are his) with a lot of money when you have a wife and kids.

Thought you were trolling until I saw the avi. All the "Jesus said this, and GAWDT! said dat" is precisely why religious folk get mocked. If anything black people have always been fiercely pious, so I doubt this has anything to do with the economic disparity. I would agree that marriage as a conduit to wealth consolidation is important though.

We been the mule for America for 400 years

No such thing as black economics. We've all seen the stat about how money circulates and leaves communities. It's the most obvious and blatantly correct Asta that I've come across. Crabs in the barrel mentality is 2nd to that. We kill and eat our top earners. The culture stunts on the less fortunate and vilified the prosperous.

People who don’t get along in marriage, will never build wealth. Marriage is GREAT when two people are on the same page, not just today, but several years in as well. You’re not building wealth with someone you can’t/don’t get along with and have different goals.

We need to focus on interacting well with one another in romantic relationships. When that foundation is built, then group economics through marriage can be a strategy.

“Steven Mintz and Susan Kellog claim that black women are more likely to live without a spouse because they created “their own distinctive Afro-American kinship network, largely free from interference. (Mintz & Kellog, 68)”

@Booksnrain how would you interpret the bolded. I’m dead, they’re basically saying bw don’t want men to intrude—they already have a network of friends and family.
