here is still a real gap in wealth that has not changed very much over the past 50 years.

Wealth - as contrasted with income - is a function of the ability of individuals to make good choices. Ferguson is filled with individuals who will never be wealthy. They make bad, self-destructive choices. Welfare rewards them and pays them to procreate.

Well, it looks like bad choices correlate with race.

Do you think 73% out of wedlock birthrates for blacks, crime-ridden, corrupt cities, terrible schools, and poverty have any bearing on these statistics?

Nice to see you bring clarity to this discussion. Good post and appreciated.

I would add also that one needs to know ‘how’ to manage wealth...we see plenty who do not know much more than buying the next pair of Jordan sneakers.
