Blacks worth $6k; whites $88k
by William Reed

Wealth is a measure of cumulative advantage or disadvantage. It is an abundance of items of economic value, or controlling or possessing such items, and encompasses money, real estate and personal property. Wealth is a state that eludes the majority of blacks.

The median net worth of today's Black household is $6,000. The net worth of a white household is $88,000 -- fourteen times the wealth.

The fact that Black wealth is a fraction of white wealth represents the nation's long history of discrimination. While America's racial structures continue wealth disparities, whites remain implacably opposed to engaging in discussions of reparations, while continuing to profit from inherited gifts from the legacy of slavery.

Wait, I thought section 8 and welfare were supposed to be reparations?

If I had gone of on an all caps laden tirade it would have only distracted further from the debate, which was the point of them trying to clown with that picture in the first place, to distract people from expert proven evidence.

And which is why JLMACN up there tried his insinuations, because REAL discussion and debate scares people in this forum.

Honestly I'm not sure. I'm interested in the subject and thought this article would be a good jump off point for further discussion. Instead, I've found that I, personally, am a more interesting subject to many of the posters on here than the issue of reparations or even the contents of the article posted.

Obviously slavery and the decades upon decades of social, racial, and economic discrimination seen by black people were/are terrible.

It would be nice if there were some way to right a horrible wrong, but with something so complex, long lasting, and horrible it is hard to imagine a quick fix like; "Here take your reparations, be happy, shut up, and things are all equal and forgotten now." Entrenched racism and wide economic disparity don't seem like the kind of things that could be fixed by a one time monetary pay out kind of thing.

The question of "Who should get what and how much?" is an important one. But also we as people need to be self reliant and focus on a way to make our lives livable for our families and our communities - independent of the government. Racial comparisons focusing on wealth and class are only useful to a certain extent, but at some point they cease to any longer be useful and actually become harmful.
