If most black households have only 1 parent, no wonder they have less money.
A real DUH moment for this “study”

Sounds like a good reason for children of color to take advantage of the free public education and get a diploma.

And whose fault is this?
The evil, successful white family, or, the 16 year old black girl who can’t keep her panties on, the 17 year old black boy who can’t keep his pants on, who leaves the moment she’s pregnant to go impregnate another ‘ho’ and repeat the cycle?

Wealth = unspent money
The only way you have unspent money is if you don't piss away every penny you get your hands on.
Basically, responsible people who save owe their savings to irresponsible people who piss everything away.

And keep their pants on until they’re married and stable.

Just what I was about to post! I can almost guarantee that more of the black households were one parent - but I will also guarantee that this particular information was not "considered" to be part and parcel to the results (at least, not the results they were trying to publish)!!!

Well if they would stay the hell out of prison and get married like normal folk, they wouldn’t have this problem...

It's a natural consequence of reaching one’s goal of getting old enough with illegitimates to get welfare, WIC, etc.

Perhaps it is because in many white familes there is both a Dad and a Mom who both work instead of just Mom doing it on her own with no support at all from Dad? I was just talking with my Hubby and I wondered out loud if no one had ever told a liberal that life is not fair and can’t be made that way?

I see great opportunities in the future for “persons of color” who are willing to work hard and follow this path. They can get into a trade and start socking away money years before their idiot white cohorts will even START paying off their $60,000 dollar Political Science (with a Theater minor!) degree at $7.50 an hour working at Mickey D’s.

Considering the state of public education and the schools that furnish such, I doubt they have a chance. Especially if they have to go to a school in the progressive inner (?) city schools that seem to be the norm in our midst today.

Color—blah blah blah—victims—blah blah blah—race-—disadvantaged—blah blah blah—white privilege blah blah blah.
Many Americans are getting tired of it.

Yes, the reason for the poverty is the almost total absence of a stable two parent family.
I suppose this being 2011 I must add that two parent means the one mom and the one dad.
