Blacks are losing ground in Charlotte?




Someone explain that one to me?

White and Asian household income is growing faster. That metric is I. Comparison to the metro’s median household income
Charlotte is still a good move

If you think this is true.

Here, New Orleans has the lowest median household income overall among the largest metros, at $48,804. Surprisingly, Salt Lake City has the lowest median household income figure for African-Americans, at just $27,412 (more about that later).

If you believe this. NEW ORLEANS?

Get reparations (which isn't the end all be all to me) poppin' in the media and all of the sudden "black people are doing alright."

This was in Forbes just last month;

Only Large Policy Interventions Such As Reparations Can Shrink The Racial Wealth Gap

The Racial Wealth Gap: Addressing America's Most Pressing Epidemic

Here are some of the statistics:

• According to the New York Times, for every $100 in white family wealth, black families hold just $5.04.
• The Economic Policy Institute found that more than one in four black households have zero or negative net worth, compared to less than one in ten white families without wealth.
• The Institute for Policy Studies recent report The Road to Zero Wealth: How the Racial Divide is Hollowing Out the America’s Middle Class (RZW) showed that between 1983 and 2013, the wealth of the median black household declined 75 percent (from $6,800 to $1,700), and the median Latino household declined 50 percent (from $4,000 to $2,000). At the same time, wealth for the median white household increased 14 percent from $102,000 to $116,800.

Get the fukk outta here.

This why we gotta have these dumbass debates with white people.

Most aren't gonna do the research.

You are not reading it for what it is, those numbers are for households on average, and they are low. The average white family is worth over $100,000, and about to get bigger because of wealth inheritance.

That means blacks will be way worse then we are now! This article shows how fukked up we are, and will be, if we don't get a major, EXCLUSIVE, policy for change

I know that

My issue is the OP is creating a narrative of "well, some of them are doing well."
