[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you guys know that 80% of black Americans are middle class and higher socioeconomically?

Don’t take my word for it. Check out the US Census records.

Still we have this lazy narrative of black Americans not valuing education.

We’ve gotta do better as a country. Until we do change the narrative from stereotypes to reality, having black teachers in front of our kids is so important.

While you’re at it, check out the stats for single mothers. Compare the percentage of white ones to blacks. A lot has changed.[/quote]

What do you consider middle class?

I see 65% of black households earning less than 50k.[/quote]

This person has to be trolling us. Let's just ignore. [/quote]

Of course, because any talk of black progress must be a lie. [b]Please remember the US is bigger than your bubble.[/b]

[b]HERE'S A LINK TO THE US CENSUS DATA FROM 2017 SHOWING THAT 19.2% OF BLACK AMERICANS LIVE IN POVERTY[/b] I've seen variations of this information for years. It never occurred to me so many didn't realize most black Americans are actually from the middle class. I guess this is what happens when news stories, social media, and your limited view of the world around you are your only basis of reality.

My  "bubble" is the Mocha Moms and  J&J set.  Every couple is dual-degreed and all the children are born in wedlock.

That doesn't negate the national statistics. [/quote]

I’d think someone living in that bubble would be aware that there are many, many black Americans doing well.

You’re either lying or thought you were a special snowflake.  Sorry to burst your bubble but you and your (imaginary?) friends are not.[/quote]
