People in this thread are confusing two things: getting financially stable and closing the wealth gap. They are not the same.
Killer Mike's tips are good for individual and family getting financially stable.
However, there are only four real ways to close the wealth gap and having a good job and degree isn't one:
1. Blacks must invest our wealth in assets or investments and receive a greater ROI than the national average for many years. Having a higher savings rate could allow us to get lower returns since more of our earnings are invested.
2. Black productivity must increase faster than the national average and Black employees must derive an equal or greater share of those productivity gains than the average American worker
3. Outside entities invest in Black Americans in a way that allows us to build assets rapidly. Private or government
4. Government redistribution (reparations)
That's it folks. Stable Black families are necessary to pool resources to get assets and education allows better investing but if you don't fulfill one of the four criteria above you are just juelzing on closing the wealth gap
