Sure they have a plan...
Everyone else is poor and then there are Democrats.
We’re the government and we’re here to help..
That number was probably not that bad when there was actual, open, in-your-face racism.
Why, I wonder???
They plan to close the gap not by bringing up those in the lower brackets, but by taking down those with wealth. No jobs.
Racial wealth gap is vast: 2020 Democrats have plans to close it

OH GOODIE! I’ve always wanted to have my property confiscated because I was white.
Democrats threw wast sums of money to CAUSE the problem.
Now more money is needed to FIX it.
Ingenious.
I’m sure dropping out of high school, shunning trade schools or college, having kids out of wedlock, refusing to get married, shooting up drugs and failing to hold a steady job because it isn’t fun, fulfilling or whatever has nothing to do with this gap. Right?
Yes it is, sadly... but its largely a product of education, and personal behavior.
The government already controls the former, and does everything it can to destroy the consequences of the latter.
If they meant it at all they’d be pushing for financial education.
If Blacks would finish high school and get married before having babies, they’d be much better off. The rest of us would be thrilled if they would take care of themselves instead of becoming dead weight on society.
The best thing you can do to close that gap is plenty of jobs. And Trump is doing that.
Wow I wonder if this has anything to do with it?
Since 1970, out-of-wedlock birth rates have soared. In 1965, 24 percent of black infants and 3.1 percent of white infants were born to single mothers. By 1990 the rates had risen to 64 percent for black infants, 18 percent for whites.
The most recent stat I saw has black unwed births at 72%.
But it is the white people’s fault. It’s all of those micro aggressions.
Maybe some of those wealthy liberal corporations (the ones who are always telling the rest of us how to live) like facebook, twitter, youtube, apple, microsoft, nbc, abc, cbs, cnn, amazon, etc, etc, etc, should make a great effort to hire more people of color and pay them high wages.
Wealth Confiscation.
Yeah, that will solve everything.
Will the Democrats ever talk about these poverty busters?
Marriage.
Steady job.
Completing school.
Don’t break the law.
Sticking to a budget as much as possible.
Personal responsibility.
It’s an ambition gap, that causes the wealth gap.
But they have very expensive, hair, nails, clothes, jewelry, etc.
If any of this passes, I'm investing in Black cosmetics industries.
I believe the Clinton’s could dip into their $200 MILLION or more account and life up a lot of black families. I do believe that Cory Booker, Bernie Sanders, Lizard Warren, the 0bama’s and a host of other democrats could do the same.
Politics of envy. Long a Demorat staple.
What is it called when a Government controls how much money a person can or should make? Then take money from some and gives it to others to make things equal.
Communism isn’t it?
