Morgan Freeman thinks income inequality has nothing to do with race.

[TruthSerum777]

The above graph is highly inaccurate. Those stats are according to tax data and tax returns. Many people make their money on the side. That's not included. So of course the white is dominate in that graph. As for the Hispanics, it's like 20 living in one house together and they all worked together, so why is that surprising?!

I know many different races who make little to no money so it's not only black people.

can u prove any of the stuff u just typed?

 

[Dr.Chemix]

So we can listen to Kevin Hart and take his words to heart, but Morgan Freeman isn't in position to tell us different?

Did niggas even watch the video?

He said basically that if you want, go out and get it. Instead of doing what we do everyday on these forums...talk about shit and not doing anything.

Mr. Freeman dropped some knowledge...

 

[TruthSerum777]

can u prove any of the stuff u just typed?

Sure, but can you read it. Is it worth the effort to pull the stats and have a blind man read it? Is it worth my time or will I be a victim of smelling more bull shit after posting it because people would still behave ignorant?

Okay, I'll take a chance on you and pull more accurate stats. Be back in a sec....

[Meta_Conscious]

yeah thats illegible... what is it meant to convey tho?

 

[Meta_Conscious]

I can't defend arguments I didn't make.

saying that race has nothing to do with wealth is weird. either you're saying that blacks don't try as hard as whites or that... well thats the only explanation. Even that makes race an issue. I don't think u cats understand what u r saying, honestly.

no one has ever answered the question: when did race cease to be an issue in the United States?

it was an issue during slavery. it was an issue during jim crow. it is an issue now.

lol@segregation and discrimination having nothing to do with wealth.

I think I'll stick to debating academics and policy makers. the average nignog aint built for higher level discussions of how society works.

 

[MarcusGarvey]

People love to look at things in high ranges, those people are outliers they don't move the median. Income gap is big, wealth gap is fucked

 

[MarcusGarvey]

What are actually solutions for wealth gap?

Education-investment in self

Homeownership? Largest asset for most people

Equities?Bonds? Good residual income.

Business? Do for self

 

[Meta_Conscious]

yes, outliers are great proof that there is no racial aspect to income inequality.

it is just a coincidence that the net worth of whites is 6 times that of blacks... Dr. Dre rich so everyone else just lazy.

 

[jono]

Chicago closed 54 schools over the last year alone. Most of those schools...black and Hispanic neighborhoods.

Yep all the opportunity is there, all they have to do is already be rich or well born.

Detroit's debt plan will close 26 schools. On top of all the school closings that took place over the last 20 years.

Yep, everybody gets a fair shot.

So it's cool to not strive for the best where ever you are? A man or woman cannot go out and seek the education they need? They can't go to the library? Order books online?

Niggas are in this thread making excuses. Which is baffling because in one thread, a nigga can't speak on dark skin women...and in this thread, niggas don't want a man who has made it in life to give them advice on what they need to do to overcome

Oh they can listen to Hart bitch about dark skin women but won't listen to a man who's respected in his profession who is a living example of what can be accomplished.

Black people are weak and stupid. No wonder we still are in this damn predicament. It's just downright unbelievable how people think.

Public Libraries are also closing all around the country....in these same areas and a large percentage of people use the internet at the library.

The rest of that shit you talking is nonsense.

The shit you talking is nonsense, nigga. So you're telling people to just give up because they are in a problem city?

What is better, to give up and die in your environment?

Or to get up and fight your way out of the environment? To push when everyone is telling you it is impossible?

There's always a way

The shit you talking is punk shit. The crab mentality shit. That 5 year old boy making excuses for everything, shit.

There are many people who made it in this world with little or to no means. So why can't others follow?

Oh yea, because of niggas with self defeating mindsets like yours

Stop because you have nothing to counter? In all your intelligence and blog writing, you can't see the problem with your thinking?

You made a post about Detroit cities as an excuse and you're telling me stop arguing against positions nobody made?

So you're just saying shit, to say shit and not mean it?

The fuck is wrong with people today? You made that position. You are saying its not black folks fault because they don't have anything

Yet, people of different racial backgrounds didn't have shit either and they made it

So what are you implying? That niggas have an excuse to continue being niggas?

That's some bullshit @‌Jono

Huh? Lol...

No one has said or implied that blks should stop trying to improve themselves and their communities...or even that blks should not be held accountable for their actions

However to suggest that the state of the blk community is simply the result of a lack of effort is offensive and simply doesn't support the facts

Do you know there is actual data that proves blk applicants with college degrees and those who don't have degrees both face a significant amount of discrimination in the first stages of the job recruiting process

Let me guess blks people don't network enough? This begs the question network with who exactly? The blk unemployment rate has consistently been twice that of whites since 1954, not like there are many blks that are in a position to hire other blks...and a non blk isn't going to go out his or her way to hire your blk ass when his cousin or wife's brother is unemployed

Blks face discrimination when applying for loans so where do we get the money to start and maintain a business? Ever heard of the term "redlining"? Smh

I could go on and on....

Even with their high levels of education, black immigrants tend to earn low wages compared to other similarly trained immigrant or native workers, and have the highest unemployment rate of any foreign born group

It was said education is the difference between rich and poor.

I didn't say any of the things you are claiming as counterpoints.
