There was an attempt to do this by increasing home ownership in the early 2000s but we know how that turned out. There are no easy solutions to this.
Income is the problem, this is proven by the U.S. Census which says black people spend more as a percentage of income on their mortgage than other groups.Rent is about even.

This means that black people who own homes have less income compared to whites who own homes, not that they arent investing it(but rather that they cant for lack of funds).

That's standard procedure for NAEP, which is a longitudinal study. The same states, representing geographic diversity, are repeatedly tested over a span of years. And, yes, the NAEP testing program is public schools, only.

Very likely an artifact of the 'Affirmative Action effect.' The Princeton Study (linked below) reported that, on average, admitted African American students at elite universities are spotted an extra 230 points on the SAT. Hispanic students are spotted an extra 185 points.

So....

Care to explain to the class exactly how white people keep Blacks and Hispanics from making as much as they do on average?

Simply crying "institutional racism" doesn't cut it.

Give us examples....

White people knocking books out of minoritiy's hands?

White people standing outside of potential employers and blocking Blacks and Hispanics from entering and filling out and application?

White Best Buy employees refusing to sell computers to them?


What exactly are white people actually DOING to keep Blacks and Hispanics from obtaining wealth?

This shows that perhaps the wealth gap between Hispanics /blacks and whites isn't solely due to family structure.
Doesn't surprise me. Blacks in America started from zero. Something else. Wealth includes how much your house is worth.

It's cultural. That's all. Provide the same stats for the same groups, this time in Mexico and Nigeria.

Does anyone really believe that the median income for married, white couples with children is over $160k? Use your brains people. One more racist site making up numbers to push their hate.

Institutional and government run. Dog bites man, what else is new?

Also, most whites don't blow their cash on 24inch rims for a leased BMW or junk with no real value to look affluent to their peers. How about "marrying up" instead of picking a spouse who is as poor as you? Two fast food workers are not going to accumulate any wealth.

At most, all this shows is that white people seem to be generally better in accumulating wealth than black or Latino.

I am not sure why this needs to be a racial issue.
