Will blacks ever close in on the wealth gap in the US?

[Urbanmiracle]

As long as we are occupied with appearing and looking rich instead of doing whats required to attain wealth, we will never close the gap. And it's a lot going against us. Our love for material pleasures, our inability to work together, the complete destruction of the black family house hold, the media and it's heavy influence on us, these things we must over come.

jews,indians,and asians put thier money together/look out for each other..I give em props 4 that....

No they dont.

there is no bat signal asians, indians and jews shoot into the sky whenever they need a come up.

jews,indians and asians understand the importance of an education....and stress that shyt to the extreme.

 

[MegaTronBomb!]

It's mindset like this that will keep the gap open.

tell me... how exactly is this mindest ( reality) keeping people from closing the gap?

there are currently more black millionaires in America than there have ever been.... and we aint nowhere close to closing the gap.



many of these wealthy folks come from money, it wasn't no first generational wealth. their parents had money, so did their parents, and so did their parents.

how you gonna catch up to folks that have been where you're trying to be for nearly 200 years?

Or are we just all fukked?

Professor was talking about this today in class..


Jews are 1.5% (around 5 million) of the American population however, over 48% of American billionaires are of Jewish heritage


Blacks are 13% (around 39 million) of the American population & Hispanics are 16% (around 50 million) of the population. Do I need to even discuss our economic situation?


shyt is disgusting to think about

to answer the question. yes. but blacks aren't united enough to accomplish that. and by the way, jews aren't a minority as far as i'm concerned. they're white.

in every single thread that has been created on a black dominated forum like this, theres always a number of idiots that will try to argue to the death of them that "money isn't everything". when u have that kind of mentality, u can never be anything other than average.

i'm glad to see a thread like this created. what can u do about this problem? dont be like ur friends or anyone elsle u know who doesn't put money on their top list of priorities.

Why the hell do people separate Jews,l 99.5 of them are White with the occasional Drake Jew in the mix
And to answer the question, yes I believe Blacks will probably significantly close the gap in this country, however it will take a long long time, you don't have as much poverty as you do in our community and close that shyt any time soon

4-5 generations ago... Jews already lived in the US...and had money.

Levi's have been in the US since the Gold Rush, and that was almost 100 years before the Holocaust

That "huddled, poor masses" myth of all immigrants shouldn't be believed.

 

[Sierra Mist]

No but it will be fun watching you try. Wait.... you don't.

 

[Prince Akeem]

Yay!!! Another we ain't shyt thread...

I didn't know that. They always try to paint themselves as Holocaust survivors who came to America and got rich.

 

[Mac Brown]

This.

and besides, the wealth gap would take generations to close... just like it took generations to build.

how exactly are we supposed to close the wealth gap, when the people with money, arent gonna be giving any up?

I understand where you're coming from, but that is a deficit mind set. There really is no limit on the amount of money available within the economy. We just have to control whats in our community, circulate and build among ourselves (which requires trust and getting away from a smash an grab mentality........) and you would close that gap sooner than later.

*but i don't see that happening in my lifetime honestly

But it can be done in my grandkids life time (if I have any)

 

[Strapped]

no ,only way is to value education so we can innovate

 

[CrimsonTider]

Only like 5% of Americans actually improve to a new sociaeconomic class in their lifetime.
