my point is, without a strong family unit and the orderly passing of wealth from the fathers to the sons the grandchildren always seem to be born into and die in poverty.You need to convey that message to all the black athletes who are broke 6 months after they retire. Fact is there has been plenty of time for blacks to recover from slavery. Yeah, they got hosed but it's been far too long for them to keep using it as an excuse.
If you cut all the rags to riches anecdotes which are great stories because for the most part they are uncommon, you are left with people like me who got some help from their family on their first business or down payment on the first mortgage.
perhaps it's cultural. There is a strong Jewish tradition to always leave your children more than your father left you (and sometimes that means getting a reputation for being very very cheap (or frugal as I like to call it.))
and I blame Lyndon Johnson and the democrats for creating a Great Society of Black Single Mothers due to the perverted capitalistic welfare system that made it more profitable for a woman to marry the government and stay home and breed babies than it would be to rely on a husband to bring home a paycheck each week.
40 acres and a mule to every black man and we'll call it even. And then we will see who makes a better husband.
