your graph shows a white person that graduates college averages $180,000. The snowflakes might be misinforming you.

That is a chart of "wealth" not salary, dogg.

Maybe you should realize in America you can have dirt poor parents and no inheritance and go on to make 6 figures through education. That option is available to everyone that wants to strive for greatness. Guess what county on that lists people come over to America from that their house could be a bunch of sticks. That would be India, they come over to america with the clothes on their back and study their ass off to be doctors, and they top the fugkin charts doing it. Education and working is engraved in their culture, thats why they are successful.  

If you want to be a massive fugk up in life and drop out of highschool and claim because something happened to great great great great great great great gramma that was racist, and thats the root cause for your failures in life you can do that also.

If we were living in the 1940s America, I might agree with you concerning going from nothing to something through hard work. (Education, getting a good job, etc.)  Not in this day and age my friend.  The age where monopolies rule, and the price of everything is going sky high!  If your grandparents weren't businessmen, doctors, professors, you are done in this day and age.  You have to update your view of the world concerning the times we are living in.

Now, you're wrong about the immigrants who came from India and elsewhere.  The good percentage of immigrants who have come here, are already college educated.  It's actually the poor in India, largely remain in India.  Even African immigrants who come over here are among the elite of their countries.  50% of Nigerian immigrants have a degree when they arrive.  Chinese immigrants are similarly educated.  None of these groups have the history of black Americans, whose grandparents and parents were sharecroppers.

It's not that black people couldn't have been something in this country.  It's that we were locked out during a very critical time in this country.  You can't build wealth through education and having a good job in this day and age.  (That's if you can get a good job at all)

 Didn’t capitalize “minority” for the same reason I didn’t lower case “North America.” Perhaps you missed where I used the term “African American?” Nah you didn’t, you just chose not to see that part.

No back peddling now. U have been exposed.

I'm pleasantly surprised this hasn't been locked yet

Haven't you noticed the lack of defense trend in the NFL this year?

I put the "over" at halftime of MNF.

The median wealth of white families is 100k.  That means out of 83 million white families, 41 million plus have a net worth of over 100k.  The numbers are not unbelievable at all, particularly when you talk the average. (The median would be lower than $180,000, but still over 100k)

You see, you are looking at your individual life, and making assumptions about the people you come into contact with.  There are whole structures of wealth in white families.  Black families are largely flat in terms of wealth.

The sad thing is that you watch a YouTube video and assume something based on incidence you know little to nothing about and deem it the norm. 

Ive stood in detention centers and spoken with minority youth in for murder of elderly Caucasian women. Innocent people of every color are murdered every day. You don’t see me kneeling for those women because I know that despite the fact of how awful some people are that they don’t represent our nation as a whole and I don’t hold the Caucasian race in higher regard than any other. My DNA is a cohesion of no less than 11 countries including parts of North and South America of which are the Native Americans someone else referred to in this thread speaking on their behalf of inequality. Call me prideless in my heritage but I care more about the human race than holding one above the other.

 

Keep tuning into your new channels and believe whatever narrative you want though. 

I don't get my news or date from YouTube. Stop assuming. 

And your posts on this subject really just amount to "i have black folks in my wedding and I've talked to actual black people in jail so I'm qualified to tell black people how to act and protest." Black people don't need your permission to protest, get over yourself.

Literally every young qb looks like the second coming of Peyton Manning these days

The rules changes seem to be having their intended results

Of course I think most of us are ignorant to these things, that includes a lot of black Americans.  We've been taught a lot of wrong things for a long time.  That is why again I'm glad Eric Reid is talking on these things, and overall there is a movement beginning to take shape where we begin asking these questions.

Everyone make way for the super enlightened centrist lecturing black folks on how to act

Apparently kneeling peacefully is too extreme a leftists position to take when people in other countries are being oppressed too

Not sure if you know this, but education is expensive.  If your parents are dirt poor, you probably grew up in a poor neighborhood, which means you probably had terrible schooling, which means you probably aren't going to the best of schools (if you can even afford it), which means you probably had to take out some loans even if you end up going to school, which means you probably get out of school already deep in debt, which means you better find a job within six months (which is easier said than done even with a degree) or else you are kinda screwed.
 

So no, everyone's opportunity for greatness isn't equal.  That isn't even a race thing, although black people by and large face it worse (ie. black people with an advanced degree get paid far less than white people with an advanced degree, on average).  That is a life thing.  Not everything is possible for everyone.

Offense sells tickets and makes money. Defense still wins championships

Probably more qualified than most in here as I’ve actually spent time and money pouring into the African American community.  More importantly I’ve invested in relationships with some pretty amazing folks. Some of them have lived in my home for months at a time. I care very much for them and every other population of the human race. 

 

CNN and Fox News are no different than YouTube or any other source you may use. It’s a tangled web being woven by politicians who could care less about any os us and most of you have taken the bait.
