They told us marriage, college, and saving money would close the racial wealth gap. But the receipts say otherwise.

In this Freedom Friday episode, we dig into the truth with insights from Nikole Hannah-Jones (The 1619 Project) and Dr. Sandy Darity (From Here to Equality). It’s time to bury the bootstrap myths and build from the real data:

💥 A Black college grad has less wealth than a white high school dropout
💥 Black families with two parents still have half the wealth of white single-parent homes
💥 Black folks save just as much—if not more—than white families at the same income level

So what’s really holding us back? Not behavior. Not bling. But a system built on extraction—and a country that still owes a debt.

📌 What You’ll Learn:

Why personal finance advice can’t solve structural racism

How the wealth gap was engineered by policy

Why reparations are economic justice, not charity
