"African-Americans in Greater Boston have a median net worth of just $8. That means they owe almost as much as the combined value of what they own, be it a car, or house, or savings."

"Although the city’s vast sports, entertainment, and cultural offerings are open to all, it’s perhaps little wonder why black people are hard to spot at, say, a Red Sox or Patriots game or the Museum of Fine Arts. It could be they simply choose not to go, or it may be the cost. African-Americans in Greater Boston have a median net worth of just $8. That means they owe almost as much as the combined value of what they own, be it a car, or house, or savings."

if they owe so much then what were they spending it on, if not entertainment?

Blacks lack the ability to accumulate wealth. It's more

That said, they're happier than all the big lawyers here who squirrel away their income and drop dead at 55

Yeah, just do have just $8 to your name and be happy. LJL. I don't sleep well at night when my checking account balance dips below $40k and there are actual entire communities of people with just $8 dollars to their name.... I would fucking shoot self for realz.

I'm a mid thirties hys grad and I don't know that I have more than eight bucks. At BEST I can keep paying my mortgage and end up with a house in 25 years. Otherwise I'm probably underwater.

Why so shocking? Law school costs over 200k, and you have to live in a high COL area to make a living as a lawyer. Figure about $50k in the bank, about $100k in home equity, minus $180k in student loans. If you cobble on 401k maybe its better?

Realistically speaking, there's no such thing as an American with a household net worth of $8. Any such household will be on government "benefits" until the end of time, and the discounted value of free government goodies is, by itself, far more than $8. Similarly, any theoretical debts need to be discounted, because such households are judgment proof.

Also, a reminder whitey: Everybody but you naturally organizes across racial lines.

"There are only a small number of restaurants in which black diners report they can dependably find other black people, including Darryl’s Corner Bar & Kitchen, Slade’s Bar & Grill, and Savvor Restaurant & Lounge.

***

The doors of Scholars, a restaurant in the heart of downtown, had just opened, and the place was almost empty save for the wait staff and DJ.

But Free, dressed in jeans and a button-up, was the first to arrive. His sense of punctuality was honed by four years at West Point. His sense of excitement amplified with anticipation. Today, he was not going to be the only black person at the bar.

By the end of the night, Scholars would fill with some 400 young, urban (read: black) professionals brought together via group chats, retweets, and Instagram — and an ambitious event planner — to create a social scene where one really doesn’t exist."

Needless to say, a bunch of white people in a majority black area bemoaning the ability to find other white people in a restaurant, deciding they want to eat together and organizing to flood a restaurant with people of their skin tone would instantly be characterized as "white supremacists" and lose their jobs as soon as this article was published.
