The Truth about Black Banks and the Racial Wealth Gap

The emancipation did not free the slaves

Many people love to say that poor people just need to work harder. When they're confronted with evidence like this that poverty is an intentional and unnecessary part of the system created specifically to disempower specific groups, all they can do is insist that the evidence they just saw doesn't exist.

Do we need an immigrant to tell us about our history ? I think not ! Afro Descendants need to do your own due diligence to study and become experts on your own history . These non- Afro Descendants are not invested in our communities. They have always studied us for profit . So don't be fooled by this reporting into thinking they care about us.

Half of the comments here are absolutely insane. – As funny as it is, it's also terrifying.

Is this a ballroom or a fortress? It’s a fortress. Trump has no intention of giving up power when his term is up. His private military ICE will make sure of that. January 6th was nothing compared to the next insurrection. He won’t leave and there is nothing anyone can do to make him leave. He has the keys and the nuclear codes.

Could you say RACISM, and there you will answer your own QUESTION ⁉️

WHAT THE HOLY FU%& ?!….there are Millions of BLACKS in the United States TODAY than can easilly afford and PAY to Build and SUSTAIN PRIVATE BANKS….for BLACKS ONLY (…who cares?…)?!?….in fact, its probably GOOD BUSINESS too?….like NIKE SAID….JUST DO IT? and stop blaming everybody else for YOUR failures?

I was more or less harassed when I was a young white male over the issue of race, discrimination and such. I wasn't very popular when some whites were "laid off" because the court forced them to hire blacks instead. I probably suffered socially and personally because I did not understand why I was being harassed over this issue and because I was not socially advanced. I didn't have many friends and so I got labeled… though I don't want to talk about how or how serious the labeling was. Some of my ideas came from school and I valued Education. So did my family. What troubles me is that a lot of what you cover here has changed some. And when i decided to work after college I was assigned to a Black supervisor and to a Black Government Section where Blacks basically said they hated me and did not like having me around. I contracted to work for a time with a company that often cycled employees over a couple of years. Basically they paid a white crew or black crew or Hispanic Crew their minimum for anywhere from 2 – 3 years and got work from this crew before laying most all of them off in favor of a new group… including one all girl crew as I recall. So I've seen "separate but equal" if that's the right term in this environment as well. There seemed to be some cultural differences when I was exposed to the groups. Blacks and Hispanics were friendly enough but didn't want me around. The girls made fun of me because I was older and they were wishing one of the young studs were around them instead of me. So I basically accept that people don't like one another. In addition to color of skin there may be cultural differences that employers see which I do not see. Maybe they just want their privacy. The groups I mean. Politically, I had been approached by some politicians from one of the two parties but basically they wanted to turn me into someone even more isolated and along than i was by introducing me to a new form of Business Organization. Why go to College and work for something new if I can work for existing American infrastructure and make a contribution to a successful trillion dollar national empire? I keep quiet about this. I don't really know what is going on with this issue because somehow I managed to have everyone attacking me. I mean, I clearly cannot ignore myself in this controversy and I'd rather be treated like I'm White than as if I as a "light colored" black.

The difficulties experienced by blacks has one main cause. 73% out of wedlock births and no father in the family. This is the foundation of poverty crime and adverse childhood experiences.

It takes two parents and incomes to raise healthy well developed children into adults. Thats been proven by developmental psychology and data that ties high crime rates with blacks and single mothers.

Poverty is also expensive. You start poor, you stay poor.
