To me, this is proof that the gap is a lot more than just “systemic racism”. Is anyone seriously going to argue that systemic racism against blacks got worse between 2016 and 2022?

Out of control inflation caused by 0% interest rates and govt money machine disproportionately hurts poor people? No way!

Nobody is holding the black man down in 2024. Nor were they in 1994.

The policies that blacks overwhelmingly vote for absolutely crushes them.

What about for South Asians that are just as dark skinned? Shouldn’t they be impacted?? Classic

The disparity is very simple to explain. It's the percentage of single parent homes vs 2 parent homes. That's it.

It has nothing to do with policies If you want to look at the real root of the problems

It's not really a secret that poor people in America in 2024 are poor because of bad decisions. Decisions that they know are bad yet do it anyway.

You couple that with increasing welfare after the pandemic and its a recipe for disaster

LeBrons school has disadvantaged more black kids than the local justice system

Seems to coincide with the time that homeownership for black people was at its lowest point in 50 years.

Black people had some really good successes around 2017,18 and 19. Unfortunately white liberal ideology and Covid made it all disappear

I'm assuming you mean the majority of households that are single parent? That's what you should mean, because that's why.

The only problem with saying policy is not a part of that root problem is incorrect. Policy absolutely incentivizes single parent households via welfare, medicaid, food stamps, etc. , etc. It's the democrats' greatest tool of keeping black people in line with their party, and it's a shining example of why democrats don't care about black people and are the party of racists.

Here’s what is wrong with your theory

As the article states, black home ownership was *higher* in the 1950s than in 2019, despite widespread systemic racism

Damn. What a shame. Maybe black families can invest in themselves, go to college, work hard, and start building wealth with their degrees and careers. Not women's studies or african american studies but Math, Accounting, Finance, Law, Engineering, and Computer Science degrees.

What do I know as a brown immigrant Latino tho
