Wage gap between blacks and whites is worst in nearly 40 years

[Treblemaka]

Black ppl who really believe because we can work in the white man's businesses (that they own), can move to their neighborhoods (that they own), eat in their establishments (that they own), etc that everything's "equal" are delusional as fukk yo.

I'm gonna teach my kids that if you end up relying on your white boss for a paycheck for the rest of your life, count it as a big L.

Y'all own businesses? PM with details let's link up.

Lets link up.

Recent college graduates with less than ten years of work experience also saw gaps in earnings by race. Black women with a bachelor's degree alone were paid 10.7% less than white women, while black men with the same credentials were paid 18% less than their white counterparts.

black men have it the worst smh

It's true. When I said this on here a couple of wks ago, a lot of dudes got mad at me for saying it

And not only just the wage gap, the difference in wealth (which is not the same thing as income) is a lot more than what many Black Americans are aware of.

Too many of us think because we can work at some of the same places as Kathy and Brad that everything's "equal" now. They get paid more on average just for being white, yes white women included, and they generally have more wealth, even the ones who you think wouldn't. nikkas also don't think about the fact that white ppl are the ones who are in most of the top/higher positions in these businesses. There are some blacks here and there but for the most part they try to keep ppl who look like themselves as higher ups.

I agree especially the last paragraph. I actually think most AAs really think that

Whites control this country. We will never gain on them in terms of wages and wealth. The system is designed to prevent from happening.

So stats like this don't mean much to me.

What I'd rather look at is how are we doing compared to where we need to be, not compared to the dominant society.

Besides higher incomes what other key contributing factor do you think leads to AA's not being as wealthy? Do you think us being the group with the least amount of homeowners a reason?

White supremacy is the reason black people don't have the same wealth that whites have. The white middle class was created when the government started the FHA loan program. That program gave away billions of dollars of low interest loans to white people. Those homes appreciated in value and was passed down for generations. Black people were denied those same loans and systematically forced into ghettos through redlining.

Until black people figure out how we're gonna protect ourselves from the white supremacists, things will continue to get worse for us.

We're doing badly no matter how you look at it

@Malik Wright @Trigga

White women and foreigners want to fukk us. Who needs economic stability?

Agree. But I don't think this is the way to look at it.

It's not a comparison that holds any weight.
