Link?

BTW.. 8% of 10 million = 800,000

So the conservative number is 700,000 give or take.

Liberal progressives are not going to like you dismissing them by utilizing logic (if you 10 million number is accurate).

Why should they be removed from the study. Didn't they work to achieve their careers?

Blacks don't make up majority of highlgy educated or highly piad jobs.

F500 CEOs that are black: 4

Number of African American doctors: only 45,000. Lower than Asians and Hispanics.

It should take a genius to figure this out.

I know what would be fun: let’s look at the races that are over represented by number of millionaires.

The winning formula:

1) Get an education or learn a trade
2) Work hard
3) Don't have kids out of wedlock


Period. That applies across all skin colors, religions, orientations, genders, ages, political ideologies, etc.

There's a reason why blacks perform badly compared to other races in the US, but it has everything to do with personal choice and nothing to do with systemic racism.

There are approx. 11,000,000 millionaire households. That's about 880,000 black households. It would take 110,000 to move the stats 1%. There ain't enough black pro star athletes, actors/actresses or other entertainers to move the needle 1%.

Still a small percentage.

I heard there were more black millionaire s in the restaurant business than all of pro sports combined.

There's an estimated 18.6 million in the UStotal

So the 8% number is around 1.4 million... there's a total of around 3,000 pro athletes of all races.

I think there is systematic racism involved but not where we are typically thinking.

Black kids who succeed too much and work hard in some areas are picked at for “being white” by other blacks.

Instead of pushing people to work hard and better themselves, there is a “crab bucket” mentality of dragging people back down who are trying to escape.

You know what would be even more fun? Lets look at the races NOT having their nuclear families destroyed, and NOT being held down by the democratic party to create modern day slaves. That is the real block to blacks creating ANYTHING in this Country. Its being done on PURPOSE..and people like you are helping.

Probably a very small percentage. There are roughly 11,000,000 millionaires in the USA.

I believe teachers have a high percentage that are millionaires ( net worth, not salary). The key is put your money into 401k instead of crap.

About 8%. Removing NBA NFL AND MLB won’t make a difference there aren’t enough of them. Even if all players in pro sports are black you’re talking about 3000 total. That won’t make a difference.

There are approximately 42-43 million Black Americans.
8% of our millionaires are black(1.5 million roughly).
Pro athletes probably account for 3,000 or so of the 1.5 million which is really insignificant.

Edit to correct my statement

Here's a link that says 18,000,000+ LINK

I think it's far more accurate.

That's called "the culture".
