The Reason For Racial Wealth Gap Pinpointed Apparently, doing all the right things” isn’t quite enough for Black folks to close the wealth gap between ourselves and whites …and it all boils down to one big factor. No it’s not hard work, higher education, or going into more lucrative fields. The bottom line is…inheritance. Many white people are simply born with a claim to substantial amounts of family money. According to Bloomberg , recent findings from the Federal Reserve’s Survey of Consumer Finances suggest that the gap in wealth between white households and African American homes lands at $13 in net wealth in median white households for every $1 in net wealth of the median black household. However, the traditional methods of wealth accumulation do virtually nothing for Blacks to begin to close said gap. A study from researchers Brandeis University and public policy group Demos finds that neither attending college, raising children in a two-parent household, working full time, nor spending less does anything to the racial wealth gap. For instance, college attendance is one of the number one ways Black people seek to widen their earning potential. While it definitely helps us to earn more and thus accumulate more wealth, the median white adult attending college already has 7.2 times the wealth of the median black adult. The same goes for two-parent homes, full time employment, curbing spending, etc. — the average white person making the same exact moves already has more money. Another study from Duke University also shoots down the myth of African Americans being too-heavy spenders and over-consumers. At every income level, blacks actally spend less than similarly situated whites. DAMN…so if all this is getting us nowhere, then what is the answer?? CreativeCommons

Migos Spew Homophobic-Sounding Comments About iLoveMakonnen It’s 2017 and much of what used to be acceptable in society has given way to political correctness and social inclusivity. That said, rap music hasn’t changed much, or at least the attitudes of the artists. In a recent interview with RollingStone , the Migos opined about their fresh-out-the-closet Atlanta brethren iLoveMakonnen: “Bad and Boujee” was the crazy s#!t that resulted.The track has put Migos at the forefront of a new wave of Atlanta hip-hop talent that includes friends Lil Yachty and Young Thug. All are wildly different MCs, illustrating the “diversity” that Quavo says is one of the things he most loves about Atlanta. And so I’m surprised by Migos’ reaction when I mention iLoveMakonnen, the local MC who just came out as gay on Twitter. “Damn, Makonnen!” Quavo bellows after an awkward interlude. I mention support I saw online for Makonnen’s decision. “They supported him?” Quavo asks, raising an eyebrow. “That’s because the world is fu**ed up,” says Offset. “This world is not right,” Takeoff says. “We ain’t saying it’s nothing wrong with the gays,” says Quavo. But he suggests that Makonnen’s sexuality undermines his credibility, given the fact that “he first came out talking about trapping and selling Molly, doing all that.” He frowns. “That’s wack, bro.” So, there’s “nothing wrong with the gays”, but “the world is fu**ed up” for supporting him? *thinking emoji* Per usual, Twitter is dragging Migos to the darkest and dustiest bando for their comments.

Jason Derulo Booted From American Airlines Flight Jason Derulo and his band of homeboys got put off of yet another flight for pulling shenanigans on Wednesday…but Derulo says this one isn’t his fault. In fact he says HE’s the one that;s outraged by the airline’s behavior, swearing that he was disrespected, spoken down to, and cursed his pilot…all because he’s a Black man. It all went down at Miami International Airport on Wednesday. According to TMZ , Jason and 8 members of his entourage arrived to board their flight to L.A. and attempted checking almost 20 bags. Jason says that as a preferred Concierge Key class flyer, he has a higher baggage allowance than the average guy, but for whatever reason, the American Airlines staff member at the desk wasn’t hip, and informed him that the bags couldn’t fly. One of Jason’s boys stayed behind to handle the baggage issue — which appears to have been a result of the group’s late arrival — by checking the bags on a later flight. However, the airline was ready to charge Derulo $6k for the baggage. Derulo’s boy called him to let him know the updated fee…and when he heard it he blew his top. He demanded that the plane turn around or waive the ridiculous charge. He says as a result, the pilot went off on him and 15 cops were waiting for him at the terminal when he returned. Take a listen to his side of the story: Hmmm…it sounds like tempers were flaring high on both ends. Besides…if Derulo was flying commercial, doesn’t he realize planes don’t typically turn around just because one passenger isn’t happy with the charges he incurred and gets loud about it. You believe Jason’s side of the story? TMZ/Splash

Tony Rock isn’t the first person you think of when it comes to relationship advice, but after the way he read Steve Harvey’s mess we figured, why not? Well, there’s also the fact that Rock is the host of TV One’s new show, “The Game of Dating.” The hilarious dating show just premiered last Tuesday and features three teams of friends and/or family members watching real dates in a “hidden camera” style with viewers acting as judges. Since Rock is all things love and dating right now, we reached out for a little guidance of our own. We asked the comedian to help us decide between a man that’s for real and one that’s a f-ck boy. See what he said when we put these scenarios in front of him. [ madamenoire ] “I Believe That This President Should Be Impeached.” Congresswoman Maxine Waters On Her Plan To Get Trump Out Of Office I know my friends, family and I are disgusted by the results of our recent presidential election, the executive orders that have passed since Trump took office and the cabinet members and nominations he’s put in place since his first day on the job. But you have to wonder if other politicians feel some type of ire. Are they still willing to give Donald Trump a chance? Are they just going to wait out the next four years? Well, there’s one Congresswoman who is not going to sit idly by. Maxine Waters has been serving as a Democratic Representative for the past 27 years. She’s advocated against apartheid, opposed mandatory minimum sentencing and now she’s taking on Donald Trump. Waters has never minced words when it comes to Trump. As we reported earlier, when Tamron Hall asked Waters if she were attending the inauguration, Waters said plainly, “I don’t honor him. I don’t respect him and I don’t want to be involved with him.” [ madamenoire ] O-Dog AKA Larenz Tate Joins Cast Of Starz Series Power Veteran actor Larenz Tate, who exploded on the scene in his now-infamous role as violent gangster O-Dog in Menace II Society, has joined the cast of the Starz hit drama, Power.

Really??? Soulja Boy Announced That He’s Going To Be A Father—But People Think He’s Lying Soulja Boy is currently getting dragged to his Draco for seemingly lying about fatherhood. The rapper who’s still supposedly fighting Chris Brown in a boxing match, recently posted a sonogram on Instagram and announced that he’s set to become a dad. Unfortunately for Big Soulja however, several fans pointed out that the 12-week sonogram isn’t from his invisible girlfriend, it’s actually from Google Images. LMAO! Do YOU think Soulja Boy’s sonogram is fake??? More on the flip.
