What a sad and pitiful tale of woe. Instead of taking advantage of what IS available....the excuses continue to flow as to why it JUST ISN'T ENOUGH.

People sure like to complain about black people.

The best thing we can do for young black Americans is to end the inherently racist drug war.

Easy answer Blacks never got to be part of the industry boom.

Learned behavior.

Education is not respected in the black community.....for the most part.

Besides....it's easier to collect that to work.

Oprah Winfrey is worth $2.7 billion.

The wealth gap between her and me is about 2.7 billion dollars. How is that fair?

Well, it is. She is a self made billionaire. I'm not as rich as she is - and it's my own fault.

That is priceless and shows, obviously, why the converse is true.

While it IS TRUE that there are more whites on welfare than blacks, proportionately, 37% of blacks are on welfare as opposed to 12% of whites.

Some blacks will attain wealth, but the majority dont. Hence the title of the thread. Pointing out certain individuals doesnt help in the conversation.

The majority of Whites don't attain wealth either.

To answer your question: You're just not getting it.

Actually YOU are the one not getting it. You have a young SUCCESSFUL black man in front of you and you put him down?? WHAT in the HELL could your reasoning be for that?? You attack him for a misspelled word?? Damn sonny....you are one desperate clown to be doing that.

maybe you need to question YOUR motivation here. And...just an FYI...he did 'SCHOOL' you....you're just too ignorant to know it.
