It's simple stupid. All of humanity got a 250 year head start to accumulate wealth while blacks were in slavery and then had to experience Jim Crow, Segregation, and a lack of human rights. So actually the majority of blacks didn't have the opportunities to accumulate wealth until the 1970"s. Anyone who says anything different are either racist, Uncle Tom, or plain ignorant. The ignorant ones will bring up black athletes, entertainers, or other wealthy black people to prove how ignorant they are, but even if you include the wealth of these blacks. The average wealth is still behind other races. It has nothing to do with other races being smarter or superior. The fact is that those races should be ahead of blacks in wealth do to their over 250 year head start in getting wealth. Based on the average wealth of whites today it serves as an indication that they are not superior or smarter than blacks. Hell if this is all the wealth they could get with a 250 year head start on blacks then if we gave them a 50 year head start we would be ahead of them. LOL. Lets stop playing into this black wealth, white wealth game. Whites should have more wealth than blacks due to their 250 year advantage to get it. The reason why you dont see any racist whites or uncle tom blacks make this point is because the United States government would have to do something about it to make the playing field level. |

Black people in America have a 1 trillion dollar buying power. Which means a lot of money is going through black people hands but how much of that money is staying in the black community? |

The sad thing is some of us already know this and those who don't know it either aren't going to read it or don't give a shit anyway. |

White people didn't have any head start. How can that be when the light races came from and was civilized by the black race? When they've only been civilized for slightly over 2500 years, so what head start are you talking about? A head start has nothing to do with anything when Oprah who happens to be alive in our time and only in her mid 50's amassed her wealth independently. You're stating that they should be better endowed and you're stating your reasons why. Why are you doing that? Why look for excuses rather than for causes and solutions? Slavery has nothing to do with the negative self defeating way most black people are, and that can be proven biologically. As long blacks keep rejecting themselves for being black and continually compare themselves to whites by appearance, smarts, and wealth, they have no value in themselves which is where their beefs are coming from.

In agree with all of that, and I would add one additional aspect. His last sentence doesn't take into account that it has been addressed by whites with affirmative action. They've even spoke to that issue by saying that they feel that affirmative action has served it's purpose, and is no longer needed. |

I don't mean to put you down Bil, but your argument is invalid and vacillating. At times you make all the sense in the world then at other times you start complaining and making excuses. Your argument is invalid for the simple reason that you're not focusing on evolution, on your own growth. You're just making an issue out of wealth as if money is what life is all about. So if that money is the whole deal maker for living, then there's no reason you shouldn't be wealthy today. Edited by cisslybee2012, Feb 17 2012, 07:02 AM.
