Facts! So why are only Black men getting singled out for not voting, this is disgusting!
You can't beg Black folk to vote then tell us we need to do for self. We just gone cut out the middle man.
Everything that we know won't work to close the wealth gap, Roland's guest is promoting as solutions to closing the wage gap. He lead off with there will be no wealth redistribution and gave us all the black do for self troupes.

To people on platforms who keep asking “how are going to do this”?
Please read the ADOS Reparations Framework. It’s short. And it’s disrespectful to keep asking us questions that we’ve already answered.

Powerful words from @AOC. America does not belong to any one race, religion, or creed. It is big enough for all of us who believe in democracy and in our Constitution and in leaving a future that is better for our kids.

Yeah, this is something you can't fix with marriage rates.
70% of black children born into the middle class are downwardly mobile (ie they fall out of the middle class and often don't regain entry) and this stat is old, so its likely worse now.
