we're not doing this here. y'all aren't gonna start this cosby "the problem with y'all niggas" nonsense.

financial literacy isn't even in the top hundred reasons for the wealth gap between whites and blacks. reasons 1 through about 127 have to do with 200 years of white families in america being able to do things financially that black families legally could not (buy homes, start businesses, open bank accounts, etc.). reasons 128 through 217 have to do with 200 years of black wealth and opportunity being scammed or literally stolen from us by legally-sanctioned, socially-accepted means. now add decades of compounding interest on top of all that.

financial literacy and "black people needing to show off their money" are each somewhere around reason 372 for the racial wealth gap in america.
