While we need to be more exclusive and less inclusive, we've always had high poverty rates (50%-60%) due to a multitude of things. The businesses weren't generating wealth.
And the exclusivity wasn't real exclusivity, it was due to not being allowed to use other services. We stuck together because we were forced to.
What we need is true love for ourselves and our fellow brothers and sisters. That's when the real healing can happen.
While people might not agree with the N.O.I.'s philosophies, the biggest thing they did was make people love being black.

Black Wall Street still had us leages ahead of how we are now.
All of the factors would be racist whites interference because we made no effort to cut them off fully from us.

WHERE ARE ALL THESE ASIANS AND ARABS COMING TOGETHER ON SOME INDEPENDENCE DAY shyt??? What does Blacks coming together even imply? Furthermore 800,000 Black Men came to the million man march. WHO THE fukk ELSE HAS DONE THAT. I Don't remember no million Asian march? I don't remember a Gay march or festival drawing that many people, I ain't see 800,000 Mexicans at one place at the same time for ANY event in the US.
But Black people don't/can't/won't Unite. STOP IT.
1. WHAT WEALTH? We don't have shyt. It's a few black people with money, the majority of us don't have money.
2. We hiring people based strictly on race. That's not a good business practice, I thought great business hire the right people for the job.
3. Racism doesn't have shyt to do with being united. Just cause I don't like white's, hispanics, etc. Don't mean I give a fukk about you either.
4. Oh so that's your trump card. That TRILLION oh ok here's mine.
Poverty
According to the 2012 U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey The poverty rate for all African Americans in 2012 was 28.1% which is an increase from 25.5% in 2005. Actually the poverty rate increased between 2005 and 2012 for every demographic of African Americans except those ages 65 and over who experienced a decrease from 21.2% to 19%. Black families with children under 18 headed by a single mother have the highest rate of poverty at 47.5 compared to only 8.4% percent of married-couple Black families.

African Americans
The African American community has suffered a dramatic increase in unemployment and a staggering loss of income since the onset of the Great Recession. Yet, even before the recession, labor market outcomes for blacks were substantially worse than for whites, as evidenced across a wide range of economic data:
Income
Wages and benefits
- $39,715
At the median, black families made $39,715 in 2010, down from about $44,000 in 2000. As a percentage of white median family income, blacks made 61 percent in 2010, down from 63.5 percent in 2000.
- ↓ 10.1%
The Great Recession wreaked havoc on household incomes for blacks. From 2007–2010, the median black household’s income fell 10.1 percent, compared to 5.4 percent for white households.
Jobs
- 36%
In 2011, 36 percent of blacks, including 38.1 percent of black women, were employed in low-wage jobs (earning poverty-level wages or less). Among the white labor force, 23.4 percent were employed in low-wage jobs.
- 49.5%
In 2010, about half (49.5 percent) of blacks age 18-64 had health insurance provided by their employer, a nearly 14 percentage-point reduction from 1979.
- 38%
Nearly 38 percent of blacks age 18-64 had employer-provided pension coverage in 2010, an 8.1 percentage-point erosion since 1979. This is more than double the rate of erosion in pension coverage for whites.
Wealth
- 15.9%
During the aftermath of the Great Recession, the annual unemployment rate peaked at 15.9 percent for blacks in 2010 and 2011.
- 8.3%
The highest annual unemployment rate for whites since the onset of the Great Recession was 8.0 percent, still less than the pre-recession annual unemployment rate (8.3 percent) for blacks.
- 18.3%
From 2007–2011, high school–educated blacks (with no higher educational attainment) saw their unemployment rate rise from 9.6 to 18.3 percent. Black college graduates saw their unemployment rate rise from 3.5 to 8.2 percent.
- 50%
About 50 percent of unemployed blacks were out of work for more than six months in 2011, the largest long-term unemployment rate among racial/ethnic groups.
- $4,900
In 2010, the median wealth, or net worth, for black families was $4,900, compared to median wealth for whites of $97,000.
- 33.9%
Blacks are nearly twice as likely as whites to have zero or negative net worth—33.9 percent compared to 18.6 percent.
Spotlight
Wealth disparities
The homeownership rate for black households was 44.9 percent in 2011, lagging far behind the homeownership rate for whites (73.8 percent). Since fewer than half of black households own homes, this means that for the median (typical) black household, there is zero wealth from home equity. The median black household also owns no stock.
The Great Recession decimated wealth from all demographic groups, but minorities were especially hard hit. While median wealth of white households sank 35.8 percent, it plummeted for black households (49.7 percent), and nosedived for Latino households (86.3 percent) from 2007–2010.
Poverty

- 27.4%
In 2010, 27.4 percent of blacks lived in in poverty, compared to the overall U.S. poverty rate of 15.1 percent.
- 45.8%
45.8 percent of black children under age 6 lived in poverty, more than three times the rate for young white children.
