on what planet is getting your stolen money back from the government a handout?!?! if someone steals your money do you not report it or try to get it back???!....guess you don't cause it's a handout, lol.

I shot you in the leg, kick you on the ground and everytime you try to get up I kick your arms from under you so you fall on your face.
You keep asking me to help you up.

Does this make sense?
Is this the behavior of a person of sound mind?

No damn near all of us aren't working poor either, the largest class of blacks economically is the middle class actually.

Now that's bullshyt... working poor can have many definitions, but the majority of blacks aren't "middle class" from an income standpoint

didn't say the majority of blacks are middle class.
I said the largest class of blacks are middle class.

Have you had a stroke in the last 6 months or something....? How does this even negate Yvette's talking point or what I said.....?

Combine the busted class with the poor class and voila, majority of nikkas aint got no paper..... which was the initial stance the entire time......

Are you sick?
You made a claim that majority of blacks are in poverty I said we aren't. You asked for proof and I gave you proof and told you the largest class of blacks is the black middle class.
Do you know what you are typing or are you just scrambling?

What is this busted class you speak off, don't try to make up shyt to sound smart.
If you really want to get technical, black middle class, upper middle class, and upper class make up 50.6% of the black population in 2014, so that would be a little bit over half the black population or the majority are not in poverty or working class.

Household income not personal earnings and 2nd, $35k to $100k. That range can be diced up a lot more.

I was talking about households, because the initial quote I was responding to claimed that all the black households need to be lifted up out of poverty.

When looking at the individual income averages, we can say the majority is probably agaiin, middle class and 35k and up

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

You made a claim that majority of blacks are in poverty

Where did I say that.... I'm in agreeance that the majority of blacks are "working poor"

Majority of blacks aren't working poor factually and I just showed you that.

As for you saying that, you didn't, I'm sorry, you simply replied to a post I made directed at someone who claimed that.

When did I ever say it did? We aren't all in poverty but damn near all of us are in the working poor, in extremely volatile financial situations than can flip on a dime. Who is going to address and remedy the issue that we are disproportionately the poorest demographic in this country, and the average wealth of a black household is only $4,900 and an unemployment rate of 18.7%? Who has the power to change these things?

No damn near all of us aren't working poor either, the largest class of blacks economically is the middle class actually.
That said the majority of us aren't workign poor.
As for financially volatile, that is the majority of americans of all races even asians.
Who is going to address what? Not saving, investing, and voluntarily living check to check is personal action, not systematic.
Average wealth varies depending on study
http://www.econ.as.nyu.edu/docs/IO/28319/BlackWhiteWealthInequality.pdf

For example, the average black household, with $45,467 in net wealth, would have $67,975 (i.e. 49.5% more) if it were white but
other characteristics were unchanged.

For comparison, the average white household has $145,626 in wealth, and would have only $75,816 (i.e. 47.9% less) if it were black but other characteristics were unchanged. The white regressions explain more in absolute terms, but in proportional terms - which are arguably more important - the results are more comparable

The median is more accurate since it knocks off any means of skewing it.

YEah but it still leaves yourblack male being in the middle class
Leaves your women at the door.

Also it closes the income gap from US society as a whole and black americans. Income wise the disparity drops tremendously.

link to this quote?

Anybody with that mentality is already given up. They're someone who doesn't truly believe in black empowerment.

and this is where i exit the convo. you agree but you too chicken shyt to actually fight for it. if blacks spent just minimal effort fighting towards whats OWED, instead of going "mannn, that aint never going to happen." we would have had the ball rolling 2 generations ago.

dumb ass nikkas stay saying begging for handouts but agree you are deserved them handouts. its wild how they have black folks (who have the BIGGEST case for reparations) so scared to even speak on it

Its not about being scared to speak on it it's about understanding that whites are going to give us shyt. You are begging because you're not talking about taking. You're talking about stuff being given to you. The only way that we are going to get reparations if we take reparations. You're the equaivalen is there's BLM c00ns marching in the street begging for justice. Of course we are owed justice, but marching in the street waving signed yelling slogans doesn't constitute "fighting" for justice. BLM is a waste of time. You're not fighting for reparations by trying to go through the political system because the system is rigged. if you were serious about fighting for what you think is owed you'd be talking about overthrowing the government because that's the only way to achieve that. You're the p*ssy........thinking that "speaking out" for reparations equates to fighting for reparations. You're the coward making demands with no intent on handing out consequences when those demands aren't met. You don't even have power to hand out consequences. Seriously, what's the next step to take after whites refuse to give out reparations?

If we use the median..... it still tends to lead to the majority being working poor....... 35k within itself is only doable in about 5 to 6 states as far as being considered "middle class"

middle class is 35k-100k and no even if we use the media the majority aren't working poor, they would tend to squeak out a majority being middle class and above.
Majority of blacks 55% or higher live in the deep south where 35k for an individual is comfortable to live on

The fundamental tools to build economically were skillset, family, and a REAL sense of community. Blacks definitely had these during and post slavery for decades. Blacks barely have ANY of these today.

You've been saying stupid shyt for about 3 days straight. Put the drank down and carry your ass somewhere

how the hell can anyone say the necessary tools for survival in the US were provided during slavery? the fundamental tools to build a thriving economy also includes capital, education/high literacy rates, a defense force, land AND government protection. i mean, are y'all forgetting our ancestors were never given their 40 acres? dudes trying to spit white supremacist talking points at me shrouded in black face. like nikkas just squandered mass amount of opportunities over the century, for no reason other than our own incompetence.
