How old are you? Do you remember 18% home loans?
Did you live through trickle down economics? What was the interest payment on your first vehicle? Do you remember 18 cents per gallon gasoline?
What did the house or apartment you grew up in cost?
Do you remember penny candy or the 1 cent candy store?
Let me know so we can discuss further.
Black folks survived slavery, Jim Crowe, and Tyler Perry movies. We will be fine.I’m not sure what you’re getting at here.
Gas stations sue a rival station for selling gas too cheap
A gas station managed by Woodman's Market in Waukesha, Wisconsin, was recently sued by two competitors who say it has priced its fuel artificially low.www.autoblog.com
Corporations lost billions during the 2 year lock down even though they were given taxes breaks by 45 it didn't do much good if people weren't spending there money on there products. Amazon made billions upon billions cause of cheap prices and delivery of damn near everything. Companies are trying to pass those loses on to consumers now and pointing the finger and blaming everyone else for raised prices and supply issues. A prime example the whole made up Xbox/PS shortage warehouses have tons of systems but corporate will only release a specific amount to keep prices and demand up. I have a family member who works at a warehouse for a market chain that limits the amount of some meat products that go out to stores even though they have plenty of trucks to move it and are overload with supply to the point they have to throw stuff away every week cause it goes bad just sitting in the warehouse.

The old person “back in my day” speech all of the baby boomers that made these poor decisions to set back their descendants. The same that are mad about the face that some of us have surpassed them despite all the hurdles they put in place by siding with the so-called white.I’m not sure what you’re getting at here.

No, but there is only so much we can do. If black people could work together, we could force these corporations to thier knees, but too many are gone. We (especially our women) are consumers. If we refused to consume as a group and pooled resources together I bet they would break before us.So we should be complacent about our economic situation?

What is your solution then?Ummmmm.....no........
What We Get Wrong About Closing the Racial Wealth Gap - The Samuel DuBois Cook Center on Social Equity at Duke University
The racial wealth gap in America is both striking and durable. It is neither inexplicable that the gap exists, given the history of the country, nor surprising that it persists, given the nature of wealth. As the authors note in this report: "[W]ealth begets more wealth. Higher levels of wealth...socialequity.duke.edu
System needs to change. Working class never wins under capitalismWhat is your solution then?
As a native Washingtonian and University of Maryland graduate in Economics, with friends on the Hill, let me set the record straight here..That's why we ask for representation from our politicians lol.
Niggas just sitting up in washington sitting on their hands not doing a damn thing about this lol.

The corporations are who influence them on what to do. That’s how you know who is really astute when it comes to politics. All politicians are for sale and will push any agenda based on self interest (e.g. Obama and LGBT) or whoever pays the most (Trump and foreign banking interests). The USA is a corporation itself, run by the banking cartels of Inner London.But Biden ...
But Trump ...

Why is the wealth of the so-called black community headed to $0 in two generations? Who set that chain of events in motion?

@LordSinister the specific answer what I believe @VAiz4hustlaz is stating is this:
"For the gap to be closed, America must undergo a vast social transformation produced by the adoption of bold national policies, policies that will forge a way forward by addressing, finally, the long-standing consequences of slavery, the Jim Crow years that followed, and ongoing racism and discrimination that exist in our society today.
Addressing racial wealth inequality will require a major redistributive effort or another major public policy intervention to build black American wealth. This could take the form of a direct race-specific initiative like a dramatic reparations program tied to compensation for the legacies of slavery and Jim Crow, and/or an initiative that addresses the perniciousness of wealth inequality for the entire American population, which could disproportionately benefit black Americans due to their exceptionally low levels of wealth. Indeed, the two strategies -- reparations for America’s record of racial injustice or the provision of the equivalent of a substantial trust fund for every wealth poor American— need not be mutually exclusive. "
But it doesn't answer how. Should it start from smaller municipalities and city governments then collected as a tax(ie the show Atlanta). Then work it's way up the governmental ladder?

Won't even get an intelligent responseAnd you see the intelligent response gif .................
And you see the intelligent response gif .................
Intelligent, REALLY !!! You can't be serious. Have either of you been paying attention to this guy's blathering nonsense? Do I need to dredge it up and show you? Or, you could just do yourself a favor and let it go.Won't even get an intelligent response
So... revolution? Are you going to storm the Capitol, the white house, Supreme court and kidnap/kill all of the bankers gatekeepers of the system?System needs to change. Working class never wins under capitalism
I basically said this, but in this "secure the bag" social media era it won't happen. People simply can't or won't do what needs to be done.There needs to be a economic revolution and a banding of those at the bottom via boycott, redistribution of dollars and all out economic war on this system, because trust and believe, politicians, judges, police, and corporations are all working together to keep this inflation up and down, for the rest of our lives.
Wow.As a native Washingtonian and University of Maryland graduate in Economics, with friends on the Hill, let me set the record straight here..
Those politicians you’re asking to represent you, simply do not and never will. Most, if not all, are in bed with those corporations that wanna fuck everybody day in and day out and are happy to do it. Their pockets are lined and will continue to be lined, with the corporations best interest at heart.
Ever wonder why Ted Cruz be everywhere BUT Texas? He don’t give a shit about Texans lol.
Ever wonder why infrastructure is 3rd world here? We have no bullet train anywhere while Japan is living in 2050? Where does that money go? Some invisible national debt?
They’re selling you, and everyone who believes in this political process, smoke. And don’t take my word for it, just look around you. The proof is everywhere. Especially leaving your wallet, dollar for dollar.
You can elect every cycle til your dead and gone, and whatever state you’re in, your politicians will never give two fucks about you. They’re gonna take your states tax dollars and spend it on swanky downtown restaurants and luxurious getaways every chance they get. All on your dime. I’ve seen it firsthand.
I know a woman who’s a budget analyst for a law firm that represents an unnamed Senator here on K Street.
She shared an itemized bill with me recently for 3 people that included:
- 9 Patron shots: $720
- 2 Tomahawk Steaks: $1475
- 1 Caesar wedge: $340
- Tip: $75
You think that’s reasonable? When gas, food and rent is skyrocketing for the average man? You are 100% correct when you say they are sitting on their hands doing absolutely nothing about this. They aren’t and they won’t cause they wanna keep doing that.
Best bet is to listen to actual economists and people who are outside of Washington and the politics of this town all together.
There needs to be a economic revolution and a banding of those at the bottom via boycott, redistribution of dollars and all out economic war on this system, because trust and believe, politicians, judges, police, and corporations are all working together to keep this inflation up and down, for the rest of our lives.
