re: Study: large portion of racial wealth gap is due to spending habits

So you mean to tell me that there is a reason that payday loan, rent to own furniture, and liquor stores all reside in predominantly black low income areas? This is shocking I tell you and it can't be true. A large part of it is culture and having zero impulse control. When you are willing to accept share cropper math to purchase a TV that you will end up paying 4 to 5 times what it is worth over an extended period of time and had you waited a month or two you could have purchased it outright than yeah that is an ignorance and cultural issue. When you blow your tax refund instead of saving some of it and paying off bills with the rest than that is a cultural issue. Is it every black person? No of course not just like not every Asian or White person has good spending and financial habits ,but overall it is true.

Culture?

The first Essence Fest included a financial seminar that hammered this point.

I think you can really only compare blacks and whites here. All the other groups came from overseas and were generally the same types of people as the first colonists - Independent, hard working individuals who were striving to create a better life for their families.
Blacks were fed the victim mentality from an early age and whites weren't and I think that's some of it. But the main thing is the same thing that happens to anyone when you give them something they didn't earn - they blow it because they don't respect the sacrifices most people had to make to achieve it

I think it's just poor role models, and there's most likely some genetic component to impulsivity.

White people should open up savings accounts for their black neighbors.

This thread reminds me of this patient I had at one time. He owned a strip club in metro Atlanta in the suburb of Doraville. He's an Italian guy from New York City and he told me on one of his visits to my practice that his business was making good money, but it didn't truly take off until he hired more black strippers. Why? The brothers started showing up and he said they love to show off in front of their friends how successful they made it by spending a lot of money in front of them or spending money on their friends to have a good time. He had to close shortly after one of his security detail employees was killed in the parking lot after an altercation inside the club.

I think that “delayed gratification” and “acting responsibly” are closely related concepts, perhaps indivisible even though distinct.
It is very difficult to instill responsibility, which involves an internal locus of control, if a person learns/is taught that they are a perpetual victim, which is an ideation founded on external locus of control.
In a nutshell: We MUST stop treating black people like victims, and they NEED to stop seeing themselves as victims, if they will ever be able to reach equality.

This seems to be done with care, provided tracking and statistics done from an impartial group = RACIST
