This whole article is awful. @blavity should be shunned by Black America for posting this nonsense. And no the whole internet isn’t on scattered @Drake side in this attack on Black family. This is the #decadentveil
yahoo.com/news/drake-res…

Y’all got so desperate you made celebrity out of people projecting pure scatterdness from their identity to their content.#decadentveil huffpost.com/entry/the-deca…

Black America built itself out of pieces of people that are pieces of people. Y’all sing along pretending to be a person that’s pretending to be you in song. What dialect does he use is that some scattered southern/midwestern slang y'all let this man of limited education rap?

This isn’t even a coherent point on #ados. Reparations in the US is for enslavement of specific families and isn’t a gift to anyone BLACK. What points do these people think they are making when they write?
newyorker.com/magazine/2022/…

Of course!!! “Witness the controversial American Descendants of Slavery movement, which seeks reparations specifically for Black people who can show that their ancestors were enslaved in the United States, not elsewhere in the Black diaspora.”

She should just say she doesn’t agree with reparations and not villainize our owed debt. It’s a lineal debt. She should also attack inheritance as well though and next country citizenships globally that use lineage. Just go ahead and attack last names too. It’s ignorance.

How have #ados Blacks allowed mythology about effort & opportunity to be sold during an era where in the U.S. they largely live locked out? In 2016 America was the most unequal place in history & white American families had ard $80 trillion. In 2022 white wealth is $125 trillion.

Economist Thomas Piketty, the author of Capital in the Twenty-First Century, in 2016 observed that the level of inequality in the United States — for those who work for a living — “was probably higher than in any other society, at any time in the past, anywhere in the world.”

America is a place where white capital creates Black aberrations primarily through the #decadentveil #nbaplayoffs to project equity in the middle of inequality like never seen. And people then ask #ados to provide reparative & transformative politics while joining in the party.

This is an absolute failure as a program. #ados Black America should be livid. They are not looking at familial wealth they are looking at income. So not only was this already a gift to whites prior to income caps.

But this will exacerbate the cost and double down by cutting out those few Blacks that may barely be making $125,000. And helping family. This whole thing should be shelved until a massive debt of reparations are paid to #ados Black families.

For those first generation college grad Black Americans that are at the edge of this income cut off if this passes with that cut off you will have personal questions to answer?

Far too many Black Folks under 40 were socialized by a generation that does NOT grasp wealth inequality to build themselves with quirky oddities as the answer to American Blackness and it’s ultimate cost. All of it done as white wealth took off at levels unseen in modern history.

From comic books, to wizard worlds, to financial guruism, casting off Black friends, and casting a new magic that made you not come from American slavery became the millennial identity safe haven.

Crypto was gonna save them from the cost of Black legacy then they realized… It wasn’t.

Economist Thomas Piketty, the author of Capital in the Twenty-First Century, recently observed that the level of inequality in the United States — for those who work for a living “is probably higher than in any other society, at any time in the past, anywhere in the world.” 2017

When Economist Thomas Piketty said the above quote in 2017 white American families had in total likely less than $100 trillion dollars. They now have $127 trillion. Large blocks of Black America have no idea the scale of the racial wealth gap, nor how it will impact their lives.

To help you read this chart almost 1/2 of Black wealth is in pensions. Likely almost all held by those that are already retired and above the age of 60. In addition that group may have most of the small Black real estate as well. 🤫💰🤷🏿‍♂️ Working age Blacks are largely wealthless.
