“Black Lives Matter much more than non-Black Lives Matter”

Although a relatively small percentage of the overall population, the median Asian household income and average level of education are already higher than those of whites.

Conclusive proof once again that it is cultural differences that result in "winning" in American society, not racism on the part of evil white people.

In short, blacks who do earn more do not accrue as much wealth to pass on to their children.

I guess those $1500 /wheel 22"mags and ultra-low profile tires aren't a good investment. (and I'll bet that's a low ball figure)

What was that quote from dipstick Che’? d;^)

I'll drink to that.

Not acting White has consequences.

Let’s be honest It’s hard to accumulate wealth on food stamps and welfare I’ll bet a look at the percentage of people in each group that work for a living would mirror the inequalities in wealth Just saying

[Kaslin]

If it is than how come so many on welfare own expensive cars?

[Kaslin]

But they don’t get it

As the United States continues to become increasingly racially and ethnically diverse...

And becomes increasingly divided.

[VRW Conspirator]

Money can fix poverty but cannot fix a poverty of values.

[huldah1776]

Because that is their big investment.

Consumer spending also varies greatly by race and ethnicity. According to the Selig Center for Economic Growth, blacks spend well above the average American household on footwear and electronics, while Asians spend more on education. In fact, as has been well-reported in the past, blacks spend 70 percent less on college than whites, while Asians spend 50 percent more.

"Impulse control' matters...

"Impulse control' matters... Harry R. Jackson, Jr shows courage creating this piece... Liberal elites are ready to call him a racist for speaking truth to PC stupidity...

[NativeSon]

As group, they have extremely poor impulse control & poor choices can make you poor.

I used to manage the Support staff of a national department store location, and it always used to blow my mind when my employees would get their paycheck and go out in the mall at lunch and buy gold jewelry and leather jackets and $200 Air Jordans.

[Brad from Tennessee]

“The black is indolent and a dreamer; spending his meager wage on frivolity or drink; the European has a tradition of work and saving, which has pursued him as far as this corner of America and drives him to advance himself, even independently of his own individual aspirations.”

—Che’ Guevara

This is a very interesting article with some important facts. Culture is important and it seems to really sum that up. Some values ARE better than others (Surprise!). The thing that will sink this article to the bottom of the ocean faster than anything else, unfortunately, is the last sentence. I can hear the screams from yesteryear blasting away as they did in the 70’s, “Don’t put your _____________ _____________ morality on me!”

This is the problem with our whole nation, not just black culture, but we absolutely refuse to go there. Destruction can’t be far off.

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
