Record number of black Rhodes scholars announced

[7figz]

If any of them become victims of racism, did it "start at home" ?

 

[jetlifebih]

That’s impossible. 98% of black ppl are struggling

Nigga i said that was a mistake and that the percent isn’t lower than 90%

And your dumb ass misused what i said...90% if black people are doing bad in relation to wealth in American you schmuck......just because your a rhode scholar doesn’t mean you came from wealth and or are wealthy....the one brother went to inner city Philadelphia schools...he was poor....but being a rhode scholar, he’s a fuckin needle in a huge ass haystack....that one rhode scholar from philly doesn’t represent and or excuse the hundred thousands of brothers who will never make it out of their socioeconomic status in philly but I’ll let y’all parade around for these one in a millions while our situation as a whole get worst and worst...

I know there are more than 10 black people more than capable of being rhode scholars but i am glad for the 10 who made it

Smh @jetlifebih making up garbage stats again. 90% of African-Americans ARE NOT DOING BAD! According to the Census Bureau 27% of African-American live below the poverty line. That number is the highest of all demographics and problematic but it is nowhere near 90% "doing bad". The vast majority of us are holding things down just fine and comfortable. Not a lot of billionaires but that same goes for 99.9% of the world (that's a made up stat for you). I know made up hysteria helps promote the victim agenda but it's offensive.

I don't believe that 27% stat - just saying.

How could that be the truth when they also say that most Americans are 1 or 2 checks away from being fucked up, or most Americans don't have any savings and all that shit.

How many households would be below and just above? 50%?

Most african americans are working poor.

50% of working age black folks earn less than $15 an hour

do you understand wealth??

They go by salary not worth...yes 27% of african Americans earn over the poverty line, no 73% of african Americans are not living beyond check to check if all of their debt was called in by the bank today.... so that mortgage you owe 100k+ on , that car, them credit cards, student loans....now your net worth is well into the negative -100k

You may live in the illusion that credit=wealth but i don’t.....

Crabs in a barrel syndrome. Just cause you are doing bad doesn't mean everybody else is. Step outside your tight little circle. The majority of us aren't "doing bad".

@atribecalledgabi

Youre better than that - was talking about a different point - individual vs community. You can give props to these scholars AND try to uplift those that need help
