Most wealth is in home ownership. Blacks home ownership is lower and homes in Black areas appreciate at a lower rate.

Only 8%? How do we get them to the 13% threshold? Gotta make it fair.

There are approximately 42-43 million Black Americans. 8% of those (3.5 million) are millionaires.
Pro athletes probably account for 3,000 or so of the 3.5 million which is really insignificant.



I dont even know where to start here man...

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

I think it's far more accurate.
The 11,000,000 referred to households.

That seems like a pretty impressive number if 13% of the population represents 8% of the millionaires. They seem to be representing their portion of the population fairly well.

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).


You are correct..thanks for correcting my typo..Makes it even more relevant a topic.

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.

Slow your roll ... I have never and will never support any of this liberal bullshite ... you must have me confused with someone else.

Remove trust fund babies, politicians, social media influencers and other drains on society and I bet the number of white millions drops pretty steeply as well. This is about a society’s ability to create wealth. Guys like Lebron and jayz aren’t making massive contributions to growing the economy or bettering society, but they have made billions of dollars between them, because our system is set up for them to

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


This is easy.

Asians make up 6% of the population and 8% of all millionaires

Over represented by 33%

Next is Whites

62% of the population



76% of the Millionaires

Over represented by 22%


Next Blacks

13 of the population and 8% of the millionaires

Under represented by 61%

Last is Hispanics

Make up 15%of the population and 8% of millionaires

Under represented by 87%


So Asian Americans are king in the US

Now why are they doing so well?

Maybe it is because their whiteness(from the what defines whiteness chart) is more white than white peoples.

Give it a rest a-hole. You’re a one trick pony.

-jews, just like any other group of humans, do not march in lockstep. The old joke is, get 3 Jews together and you get 4 opinions
-you might want to check Nobel prizes by ethnic group. They don’t just hand those out to their buddies.
-hard work IS an overriding characteristic in most Jewish families. The results are what they are.
You should try it rather than citing your self as a perpetual victim of a super secret organization of baddies who treat you all meany pants.

Wouldn’t make a dent in the millionaire percentage.

But, combined with entertainers, probably comprises almost the entirety of the UHNW segment.

More than 8%.
Pro sports does very little to create generational wealth.

FFS - there are only a few thousand, total, members of these groups, perhaps 10s of thousands if you consider alumni of these occupations and many are white.

There are millions of American millionaires and hundreds of thousands of black millionaires.

These statistics from 2017 by the FED, may explain a little more why only 8% of the millionaires are black.

ONE of every NINE Indian-Americans is a millionaire (Merrill Lynch Wealth Management). That's 200,000 of'em!...Those people KNOW the drill, and teach it to their young.

Lou, ordinary, middle-class Jews are losing a PR battle because of very high profile Jews in entertainment, media, and finance. I have observed it my entire life and it is simultaneously ironic and paradoxical.

Ashkenazi probably carry an average IQ anywhere from 5 to 12 points higher than society as a whole. That certainly doesn't hurt (and unless you buy "IQ" as conspiracy, then it isn't nefarious - and East and South Asians are increasingly in this same category in the West.)

quote:

You should try it rather than citing your self as a perpetual victim of a super secret organization of baddies who treat you all meany pants.


The entire reason folks buy into conspiracies, generally, is that there is comfort in the belief that "someone" is in control of things, even if that someone is nefarious. Jews have been convenient scapegoats since at least the middle ages. That has ranged from merely prejudicial to existentially dangerous at times.
