The original discussion in here was about the increase in black buying power. If it is indeed increasing, is this not an indicator that blacks are getting their act together and becoming more successful socially and economically?
Does anyone care to tell me why this is a problem?
I should think we would want more blacks to be successful, just as we would want everyone else to be successful. The more success and prosperity there is in this world, the better off we all are.
The stats are cherry picked:
The idea that a tribe can make any significant gains by consisting mostly of single-motherhood households and retaining the same IQ levels as in the 1960s is simply preposterous.
What has happened though is that companies and government agencies are hiring black folk who even meet any minimum requirements like crazy for diversity reasons. In addition you have elite universities trying their fucking damnest thing to attract blacks. That might explain the increased rise in some metrics, but I doubt that the averages are better off. You never take into account net movements, but always disposable income and then if you want to compare to other races, then you have to take into account wealth metrics in comparison to others:
It gets even worse when you try to find out whether any net wealth has been retained.
Note here for example the black households with traditional setup and husband present:
The difference to average households is not that great. However it goes to shit as soon as single parent households are taken into account - the majority of them are women. So if you had stable married households with fathers present, then this would likely double the average wealth rate quickly.
If the increase in "black buying power" was so great, wouldn't it increase the net wealth of blacks?
The stats are bullshit. Of course Jews are also accounted among the White portion and you are forgetting that there are tens of millions of Americans making excellent money - upper middle class and upper class. There are more Christian Americans above an IQ of 130 than there are Jews in total in the world. And those people are in addition hard-working even if they are a bit less intellectually minded than most Ashkenazi Jews and less hard-working than North-Asian Americans. Chinese flunking at a test is a B+.
And it has nothing to do with privilege. Hard working highly intelligent blacks can likely outperform Asians and Whites at many companies, get promotions faster. The attitude of the black community towards those high-performers is more problematic though. That is why Nigerian middle-class immigrants to the US even outperform average Whites - though the last immigrant batches were highly selected and resulted more in a brain-drain in Nigeria.
In any case - no reason to get giddy about it. It's not getting better yet. There are many steps to be taken before Africa becomes Wakanda or average American blacks are on par with the other tribes. HIgh-performing blacks will be fine though, but they are not average.
And I would also like to state that most guys here are not some kind of haters - we would love for blacks to do exceedingly well, to have stable families, stable children, to do better financially and make good money. Remember - Whites are pathologically altruistic, though a good part of it is based on the Christian mindset.
