Brookings whittled down a lot of analysis into three simple rules. You can avoid poverty by:

1. Graduating from high school.

2. Waiting to get married until after 21 and do not have children till after being married.

3. Having a full-time job.

If you do all those three things, your chance of falling into poverty is just 2 percent. Meanwhile, you’ll have a 74 percent chance of being in the middle class.

Nice try but they aren't looking for achieving success out of poverty through education and just working.....they want “Wealth” and lots of it, like they see Hollywood rappers and sports celebrities get...their Hero's and Idols for what a successful black is.

You talk to any convict and they'll even tell you they knew they couldn't gain the wealth they coveted by just a day job. That criminal activity in drugs and other illegal activity was the only path for them to fulfill ‘what’ they wanted.

You rarely see a black kid who isn't wearing high end sneakers and clothes, hair do’s and the like....their need for physical appearances surpasses the average..regardless of their level of actual poverty.

Yes, a simple and effective three-part solution, very common sense.

Many black conservatives have said basically the same for many decades.

caww — my list is about BLM’s b.s. I stated that blacks ignore those issues, so by deduction a solution is for them to face them.
