Focus on developing your passion and making a successful life. Black men specifically are going to be adversely effected in the next coming years with economic restraint, education, and health.

It’s not time to mess around. Focus on having a strong spiritual background as well. You’ve seen the narratives the media has been painting towards us just be prepared and move accordingly. For the woke brothers please find a black woman and love her sincerely and build a proper life the best you can.

The children born from this generation will be special mark my words and they know that black children will sit at the pedestal of this. This is one of the best times in history to be black and we as the men must be the root that supports and sustains the black family.

In order to do that we’re going to have to work for it and really build ourselves up against any obstacle we may face

Nothing. The wealth gap is too big and in about 150 years, we have gone from having 0.5% of America's wealth to having 0.5% of America's wealth today.

Is your personal wealth headed towards $0?

How about the Black people that make up your immediate social circle?

You are not in competition with the billionaires who skew that stat. Focus on what you can control.

I answered the question. The question was about black men getting a foothold in America as a collective. It was an objective answer. Now obviously you can do things individually to improve your quality of life but as a collective, there isn't really anything to do to get a foothold because that would require closing the racial wealth gap which isn't going to happen.

Black men have struggled since this country's inception (before that even). Black men have found a way in the past, what specifically is stopping that right now?

Avoid impregnating liabilities. Deal only with women who are far well off than you.

I feel like this is super underrated.

We tend to put p*ssy on a pedestal to the point where some of us only have goals to get p*ssy. We need to break that mindset within our circles. I understand how difficult it is to get everyone to do it, but it starts with you and the company you keep.

We need to reprioritize our goals and how to get there.

Ultimately the hardest, and the most important, part is getting people financially stable so they CAN understand the world more. Most people get stuck in their circles for life, never being able to experience other things....giving them a smaller view of the world. Got people experiencing the world from twitter.

Ain't nothing wrong with being a little fish in a big pond. We cant create our own ponds because we're stuck in these fukkin fishtanks.

How to get everyone financially stable?

I don't even fukkin know. I wrote this whole thing out and realized it's a big fukkin circle.

shyt is so complicated. :no:

Yea. It’s up to you. If the possibility of a woman taking you to court for child support or alimony doesn’t scare you, I don’t know what to tell you.

I know quite a few ladies men who married women who aren’t as pretty as some of the other women they’ve dated. The did this because from a responsible point of view, it made the most sense. She either has more money or is far more educated.

no matter how much u like ur 9 to 5 job, the reality is, most people hate working. But when u have to work because of a woman, you’re living what is known as a “miserable life”.
as an individual, it is perfectly realistic to find an individual woman who earns more than u. whether she wants u or not is another issue.

if u are suggesting your solution for a group, then most of that group will fail because of the smaller population of women earning more than men.

this has nothing to do with my own actions or preferences. i just don't think your solution is doable.

if/when bw were telling bw "go find a man who makes 200k" people would bring up that a minority of bm make that much so the person doing the advising is either (1) setting those women up to fail or (2) telling them to seek other races with a larger % earning that amount. same thing here

agree to disagree, since op said he was looking for solutions

Focus on your immediate environment. Despite what the internet tells you, black women still actually want you and black children need you.

Solidify your family unit. Solidify your and their financial and educational future.

The more grandiose our aims, the less likely we will hit any real targets. There are simple, actionable, on the ground things we can do to solidify our place and the future of our community.

Also, as black men, we need to stop reacting emotionally to the larger narrative and become much more stoic about the barbs that are thrown our way. We can’t listen to attacks from celebrities and Twitter-based feminists and react by “taking our ball and going home.” The black man is not separate from the black community (women/children) no matter what they tell you.

Our future is as a unit with our women and children. Stop letting your emotions and hurt feelings tear you from them.
