The average income of African American males between 20-59

[Brolic]

kevin samuels really messed up the black womans mind by creating this 100k atmosphere...just putting it out there has these hoes thinking a man aint a man unless he 100k.

No he didn’t. He emphasized that 6 figure black men were a rarity.

 

[Gloxina]

Most of your arent very smart in math.

1st off there are so many factors missing in the equation

Are they including unemployed and part time??


Bcuz if your make 100k and I'm unemployed, we average 50k.

They accounted for that. That’s why this is the median, not average.

 

[Neuromancer]

Those meagre wages are not 1st world reflective numbers..that was my college allowance well over a decade ago.

How does a man of 29 survive on 2k per month in the US of A??

Yeah this is either incorrect or very alarming.

We need lawyers and scientists more than we need electricians. Go to college.

My only

We need lawyers and scientists more than we need electricians. Go to college.

We need more of all of them, so they can be role model to younger men to do the same.

Me too yet I still feel…… broke

Word. shyt still feel like a struggle.

On a side note, these stats are not only accurate but it’s scary. No damn politician can change what is essentially a generational plague if you’re one group or a damn positive birthright if you’re another.

The issue isn't just money in these graphs it's access. You can have all the cash in the world if people want to keep you out they will word to Byron Allen.

Money isnt the issue...inflation is. You could raise a family, buy a house, buy a car, and have a little fun on one person's 5000 salary just 70 years ago. shyt I remember on Good Times they had a party because James got a job paying 4400. So to think that less than a century later one person can barely get by on 10x that is just .

This list is really manipulation in disguise..

It's really a matter of skills and school..
I don't think that its really that low for every sub groups...

If they average them by years of education and type of education..it would give a clear idea on where to go to make more and what to do.

Obviously those who got a raw deal with early life education are making less.. but if they told them a skills trade could earn them a lot more... Those numbers would blow up.

But…that’s not their job.

Their concern isn’t giving us an idea of who/how many men make more, or what they do to make more money. THAT IS ON US. Their job is to just tell people what the numbers are. It’s on us to figure out how to improve our salaries.

Asian men’s median salaries are high because everyone knows Asian dudes are all about STEM fields. They make more $ than White men. BUT, of course, White men still hold all the power in this nation.

The truth is, if you got a raw deal at the beginning of your life, you have to seek the opportunities. It’s TOUGH, but it’s that or sit around not trying.

I didn't read the whole thread but I see yall mentioning STEMS a lot. Is that still a viable route for someone with no experience or certificates in that field ?

Nope. You're gonna have to get a 4 year if you want to compete. The government OD flooded the market with upper middle class H1B immigrants who do have degrees. You're not competing with them without one. The few success stories you hear in the 2020's are anomalies or brehs that work in like DC or some shyt where there are barriers blocking H1B access.

 

[Gloxina]

Not only that,but Agent Samuels never specefied race to make it about black love. But taught black women to seek out men making over 100K,in a society where white men are considered the most valuable men,and make the most money.

But he completed his authorized mission. Probably somewhere in Tokyo now having egg foo young,cooked by his androgynous partner Shung Chi. Not even thinking about the damage he caused. Meanwhile black men unknowingly continue to praise him for their demise

You’re absolutely right, but hey


That’s what he promoted, knowing majority of the guys in our community aren’t in that category. And men cheered him along when he was basically telling any young woman who “qualifies” for a successful man to go for the $ first.

So, yea.

I see the play hispanics did in construction. The men come over heresnd sacrifice and take the shyt jobs for low pay, meanwhile they refused to learn English. Why? Because they made their women learn English and since the men didn't know English the company had to hire a staff of bilingual workers in the office to service the field hands who do they hire, the workers wives, sisters, aunts, etc. Boom now they women are on making bread too and they women can look out for them since they in the office and let them know what's going down on the inside. Abuelo/abuela stay at home with the kids, and when the kids get old enough dad done taught their sons everything they need to know about whatever trade they work in by the time they are 18. Start in the trade fresh out of high school and since pops done taught them everything already they move up fast and boom you got your next generation of bilingual field supervisors right there, or they start their own companies after a while. They start making so much money as a family they retire they pops early for making that first sacrifice and putting up with the bullshyt.

Black people should have been took over trucking/shipping in this country... honestly there is still an avenue in construction as well since the demand is so high and immigration isn't keeping up, but someone is gonna have to bite the bullet and sacrifice and nobody seems to want to do it.

The data never matches how folks are moving. On social media everyone is balling, taking trips, going to restaurants and buying the newest XYZ.

In real life they are texting me for loans.

Social media peeps stay chilling in the Amalfi Coast and St. Barts

We definitely, DEFINITELY need more educated professionals, but yes we need more electricians as well. That’s still a solid middle class income that is greater than whatever the median salaries are in OP

ahhh, the coli has all the answers to life without knowing all the details
