You don’t like facts, it’s ok. In every 1st world developed country the majority has more wealth
You’ll get over it.
Really? You're making things up now. Why does it matter if it's "First" World, "Second" World, or whatever? Shouldn't the majority rule in everything? You're making things up as you go along, yet when I tell you to bring in the numbers, you're silent. Give me resources, give me data.
I blame the current macho ghetto culture mindset for holding back the poor in the black community.
Toxic culture and single parent households. That is the Achilles heal for my black community.
Uncle Sam will pay you to be a single mother and instead of using this as an emergency, we turned it into a way if life. 70%+ of Black babies are born out of wedlock
Why do white majority demographics have more wealth than black minority demographics in 1st world countries? Dude you really need to pick up a sociology book.
Why do white jewish minorities have more wealth than white non jewish majorities in first world countries? - will the sociology book provide the same answer?

1st world matters because that’s the highest standard of living
No black person wants to move to South Africa or Brazil.
Wouldn't think their would be any - which begs the question, of why is that?
Stating the obvious, is never as interesting as asking why the obvious, is obvious.
There are multiple reasons for this - but none of us are experts.
One is the disparity in the achieved level of education. Another is if they come from a long line of people who had no money, they have nobody to help guide them with regard to salary negotiation, saving, investing, spending, etc. No financial guidance whatsoever. That's one of the reasons so many athletes make millions and die broke.
Negotiation and knowing your worth where your job is concerned is a huge reason, in my opinion. It's also the reason women don't make as much as men. If an employer can save money, they will. It's not right, but that's the reality. Women and blacks have historically taken what they can get because it may be more than they've ever been paid before - even if it's only 2/3's what a white male is making to do the same job. There are white males who aren't good at this either, but white males coming out of a household with a parent in the business world or a college-educated parent seem to do better with this, in my experience.
I know people who grew up watching their parents spend everything they made (because they didn't make much) and their attitude as adults is that money is all about outflow. No saving, no investing.
Older blacks were screwed with higher interest rates or higher rents.
There are a lot of reasons. Heavenese will tell you it started with slavery. Personally, I don't buy it.

13% of the population won’t have more wealth than 77% of the population.
Sorry for the shocking information that blacks, Asians, and Hispanics, don’t have more wealth than whites in a white country.
Surely you can stomach such alarming information. Gasp! Even in other countries there is wealth inequality between blacks and whites. Imagine that!
I'm not sure why you keep speaking as if the question was about the total wealth owned by blacks and whites, as opposed to the average per household. Are you deliberately misunderstanding the question?
As to the OP, I don't think that history and current circumstances are so easily divorced from one another, so I didn't reply to the poll. It seems like an over-simplification to me.
