This post is in response to a meme of a Black male claiming he pays all the bills and his woman shouldn't have to pay for anything. This is head of the household thinking from back in the 1950s.
Today Black men and women have to work together to get ahead. We live in an economic apartheid in the US. Black wealth is on average only 1/10th of white wealth. Whites own $100 trillion in wealth to Blacks only owning $4 trillion.
This society sucks all the income out the Black community in taxes, undervalued property, and controlling the economics in our community. They take all the money from our 401Ks, pension funds, and stocks and invest it in white owned corporations and startup companies.
Most Blacks will need 2 incomes just to get ahead because we only get paid 60% of what whites get paid for the same jobs. The average white high school grad gets paid more than a Black college grad.
I think if Black couples really understood the economic racism against us we would work together more. We have to work together harder and smarter.
