[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ultimately, there are some problems in the black community that only the black community can fix. And white liberals are sending the message that everything is white people’s fault and that black people don’t have to change anything. This will just result in more of the same and nothing will ever change, even if a bunch of money is thrown at the problems. [/quote]

How can the black community fix the wealth gap/economic inequality on its own?

A start would be to not do drugs, get an education and not get pregnant out of wedlock. [/quote]

Nope. Those are just myths that you are spread

pages 5-9 - education

[i]Moreover, on average, a black household with a college-educated head has less wealth than a white family whose head did not even obtain a high school diploma

Black parents who provide some support for their children’s higher education have two-thirds of the median net worth of white parents who provide no support for their children’s higher education.

Furthermore, white households with an unemployed head have a higher net worth than black households with a head who is working full time.

pages 51-55 - marriage

[i]Recent research also reveals that the median single-parent white family has more than twice the wealth of the median black or Latino family with two parents. These data points show that economic benefits that are typically associated with marriage will not close the racial wealth gap (Traub et al. 2017). Having the “ideal” family type does not enable black households to substantially reduce the racial gap in wealth[/i][/quote]
