Wealth is controlled by those in power.
There's no way to create it on your own without involving those in power.
Black people have plenty of money. Black people have had trouble establishing wealth because those that hold the wealth will not allow black people have any.
And again none of this has ANYTHING to do with marital status.

Young uneducated women with no job skills need to stop having children before they’re married. This is what continues the cycle of poverty more than anything else.
Local schools are paid for from the local tax base. Black people need to stop moving away from their communities as soon as they get a little money and education. Black flight is undermining the conditions in our schools.
HBCU’s and Gov. Jobs are the life lines of the black middle class but affinitive action is gone. We were able to get those Gov. Jobs because they paid too little for privileged white people to want them. But in this labor market that will change soon. I think by now most people know we need our own businesses.

It seems this guy believes it's ok to sire children with a woman (or women even) and the man not being there because women are responsible for rearing them not men. Traditional marriage is a modern, western convention that's not necessary per say in his opinion. Which would mean to say that for black people who are unmarried and single, the women raising kids, the men not there, doesn't really matter. It's just a different family structure that has nothing to do with wealth building, community building, etc. ...
It's a mentality that I don't agree with but now I see some men (and maybe women) aspire to this.. .
It is destructive mentality. I weep everyte i see black kids with no father in the home. I am the product of divorced parents saw my mom struggle to raise us...i wish this on no one.
Never said that. Not once. I'm probably the only one in his thread that is married and living "the traditional lifestyle"
In fact you dapped my earlier posts about marriage. I think it's great and it's what people should strive for, but it has nothing to do with wealth inequality/achievement in America
Men should be there. Has nothing to do with wealth inequality
Make dumb ass assumptions brehettes
This not just emotions...this is well documented reality. Blacks will never succeed in establishing an upwardly mobile collective with the state of many black households. Whites have a headstart of sevrral centuries on wealth building. You cannot compare yourselves to them now.
Asians are advancing cause they understand the game and they have fostered values that encourages wealth. What you guys are proposing is a get rich scheme with no long term prospect of black unions are not considered ad part of the equation.
Your family is pretty much a community in itself you invest in your children so they can do better when your a single parent it makes it harder to invest in your children because your in survival mode and the government ends up looking after your children. When you have a large group of people who are all in the same circumstance it's crippling to think of building outside of that. Once you have a change in the family dynamic and your community is strong amongst your family members then you can focus on building communities outside of that. Asians and Middle eastern people understand that concept very well which is why it's not stopping the from owning a lot of shyt in the western world.
