Doesn't cost me a dime. And because I'm stuck in my ways.

Good enough for me. Carry on.

Good enough for me. Carry on.

Thank you.

Wow.

I just don't have any words besides wow.

 

[FLVOL_79]

Lol at the wealth gap. I'm worth more than entire projects.

 

[FLVOL_79]

I'm taking the position that anyone who tries to put some kind of twisted positive spin on slavery is mentally ill.

So...staying in Africa would have been better for them in general?

 

[FLVOL_79]

I think most can agree that slavery should never had happened. If I could go back in time and do one thing it would be to stop the African trans Atlantic slave trade. I would have just stuck with the Irish and pilfered eastern Europe.

Lmao. Once again, it's about giving black people money for nothing. Not giving the actually descendants of slaves money.

The article addresses black people only. What about "Native" Americans? My great grandmother was a full-blooded Cherokee Indian. Do I get paid? And how much do Africans and Muslims owe black Americans? After all, they were the first to put their fellow countrymen in bondage.

Vox cracks me up - an army of Ezra Kleins who begin with a premise then work backwards to prove it using whatever favorable facts and stats they can find. It looks like well reasoned analysis except that they start with a conclusion and find the data to support it (and ignore the rest) rather than the other way around.

Plus they think they are the smartest people in media.

I'm interested in their median household income data.

The graph appears to show the median household income for whites at 85k and blacks around 0. Where did they get these numbers?

 

[volinbham]

That's the graph for wealth.

Negative.

He did dip snuff tho, so that might disqualify.

So black people not saving and investing there income is the fault of white people?

You just now starting to see this?

Interesting. So recent Asian and Hispanic immigrants have more wealth than blacks.

That sounds like a cultural problem, not a bi product of slavery to me.
