    People will draw a line from the holocaust to poverty, but not from slavery, Jim Crow, redlining, war on drugs, or mass incarceration to poverty. 😒

    We should support Black business, promote Blk business, build Blk business, but never forget, Black business will NOT fix our collective lack of wealth. We have to be restored. What was stolen, must be replaced if we want to live in the richest country in the world.

    Everybody tells Black Americans to get in line when it comes to receiving benefits and resources, but no other group is told this. 😒

    “But where are we going to get the money.” “I never agreed to a war. Why should I have to pay for that?” “My family arrived in the US after the war in Afghanistan began. Why should I have to pay for it?” 😒

    When I say America picks winners and losers, look up how much money America has put in the pockets of defense contractors over the last 20 years. But no money for reparations, right? GTFOH

    One of the many reasons why a Black American advocacy organization is needed. We are being phased out and nobody is fighting for our specific group. Well, almost nobody.

    Somehow issues concerning Black people in the United States keep getting pushed to the back burner.

    The rights Black Americans should be fighting for are the ones that will work to make our families whole. The core of mothers and fathers raising their children together + strong networks of extended family too. It takes a village.

    When did "abortion rights" become an issue for Black people? Here we go again?

    Re: my last RT, it's wild that getting proper headstones for our ancestors' graves takes years to gather enough funds to execute.

    Someone Black on WVON 1690AM said that when enough Black ppl learn how to swim, we would vacation differently. That pissed me off because swimming isn’t the issue. We would largely ‘vacation differently’ if we had the money.

    should include removing minority status from white-Hispanics/Latinos and White women. 50% of the numerically dominant society shouldn't be considered a minority.

    The data reveal a much different story, with leading indicators of social & economic well-being showing that, on average, Black American descendants of chattel slavery face generational difficulties in home ownership. Median wealth held by Black families is $17,000.

    The U.S. Dept. of HUD has reported that home prices increased 15% this year, bringing the national median cost of a home in the U.S. to over $300,000. With the median salary being under $80,000, the average American is becoming more unable to afford the median cost of a house.
