Oh, I didn't expect you to answer the question so I wasn't surprised.
Uh oh, the OP is once again fantabulously postulatificating on the ramifications of the sourcefullness again.

Like the old saying, all hat no cattle.

And again....your comment represents the impediments blacks face from whites in this country, still.


Now lets look at this. If you say that there are more white people on welfare than blacks....what will many whites say? If you note that whites commit murder, rap robbery and other violent crimes...what will whites say? Whites will say.....THE POINT IS THAT BLACKS DISPROPORTIONATELY are guilty of these things. The thing whites want to focus on, when its a negative, is proportionately. They want you to know that blacks are disproportionately doing negative things. However, they DON'T want you to focus on blacks disproportionately being under represented in positive things like WEALTH and BILLIONAIRES. They just say ignore the proportions and that whites are disproportionately getting the benefits of America, while blacks are not. Ignore that and just be glad that there are ANY blacks who are billionaires. This is from the same school of thought that blacks should be happy that they are in America, and not in Africa, regardless of how much worse living in America is for blacks...than it is for whites.

Well it does matter. More so than what you are posting. I would rather hear about how to help them. Social exclusion of other races is racism btw.

The only thing a few posters care about or think about is race.

They blame all of their failures on racism.

If they were white, they'd be billionaires.

The racial gap starts at home where black parents tell their children they won't succeed because the system is rigged against them.

You don't know a thing about what goes on in a black home....lol. It's amazing how people like you say stuff, with utter conviction and confidence, but have absolutely NO PROOF. Its all a figment of your imagination about blacks.

I can see all over black people whining about not getting a fair shake because of imagined racism, and their kids see it as well.

Well then....I am sure white kids are getting the impression that blacks are inferior from all the parents who dismiss that anything bad happened to blacks that would make them be like they are today. "its just they way they are".

1% black is normal at the highest level of legitimate achievement in many fields, not just wealth accumulation, and not just in the U.S. On the flipside, blacks represent close to 99% of people who have ever run 100 meters under 10 seconds. This is not something government can fix. If you must see it as a problem, blame mother nature and tens of thousands of years of divergent evolution.
