Getting married is a great way to build wealth, and pass it on to the next generation
Black people talk about "family structure" because they don't think they have to people to change institutions.
The black family structure is fine. Single parenthood is not synonymous with absent fathers. Remember that.
Yes, absent fathers are more common among blacks but that phenomenon is perpetuated by poverty.
It's easier to build wealth with two people working towards it.

I want for my kids, when they graduate college, to give them a house or building that I already have tenants in, to give to them over time. Once they graduate individually, become owners in a home with me and then over time, give them more responsibility and then the home or building.
And even easier to build wealth with three people working towards it. Should we practice polygamy though?
I'd rather black people focus on education, particularly in science and math. Support redistributive measure like basic income, universal Pre-k and integrated schools.
It's not like they are mutually exclusive ideas.
Go to college, meet and marry a college educated person, build wealth together.
You cant something as a community if there isnt a community.
Nothing worth earning is easy.

My twins in high school, have a math class using videos about fiscal responsibility. I just sent her an email to give me the name so that I place a video here.
Way different from what I was taught. This is great stuff, explained in a common sense way.
My education lies in marketing for undergrad, healthcare management for mba and i'm going to go back to get another masters next year, in accounting.
Nah I didn't mean to make it sound so simple. I know there's a lot to it.
I was just trying to say marriage or at least two people building together is a good way to build wealth
^^^ This way of thinking is the only thing wrong with black people. It's this belief that there's something is inherently flawed about about being black, rather than simply being poor.
Y'all sit around all day talking about, "what's wrong with us?"
That's one of black people's favorite pastimes. Smh.
