Millennials are anyone from 18-35. So you have a huge chunk that are still in school or just outta school.
So it’s not shocking at all.
One would think, right??? That's why I'm stressing the details #receipts
that just means HS and college kids working part time are counted
Many people do not know how to monetize their ideas. Nor do they have access to capital to fund them.Black people have been duped into thinking they were making it. A "black " President. Professional sports teams dominated by African Americans, Africans or Afro Latinos. Popular culture heavily influenced by hip-hop, an aesthetic created and still heavily curated by black people. We are the "IT" people of this world, yet we are at the bottom in every respect. Without us, this society would be the definition of mayyonaise and white bread, as bland as it gets, and we aren't seeing anything for it. It's going to get so much worse, in a stunningly short period of time, as long as Trump is in office. A lot of black people in America have no idea that we are presently being targeted for extermination.
Play around with those charts.
If you’re a young Black man making more than $50k, you are in the top 10% of Black men our age.
If you’re making $75k, you’re a 3 percenter among young Black men.
Just goes to show you how the 6-6-6 gang is here on the board!
Somehow, most of the 2% of young Black males earning more than $100k per year post on TheColi.
I honestly don't believe this. I know way too many black people doing better than 15k. Which part of the country is bringing these stats down?
I mean you can work at walmart and make more than 15k a year in most of the country.
This is where capitalism snd irrational hope leads you.
And I'm willing to bet the majority of those making poverty wages are still pro capitalism for some odd reason
Stockholm syndrome is alive and well
but then again, you have people that think everything is alrightI don’t believe this
Sports players and entertainers make up a very small percentage of reality the average person will never be a successful sports players or entertainer in their lifetime
We have people who believe the earth is flat.but then again, you have people that think everything is alright
They're using data from a survey that includes kids as young as 16 reporting income, from a 2014 when the same source has reports as recent as last year that's the most I could find but again, don't believe the hype.
I am online a lot. Have you ever tried playing with a how much home you can afford calculator? Can you imagine the mortgage you can afford when you make $15K?I don't know why this is so hard for a lot of people to accept. Black people are struggling, and it's only getting worse.
