ATLANTA--Butch Graves — President and CEO of Black Enterprise— has issued a warning to Black America in his April 2012 column for the magazine, “Choose Wealth, Not Style.”
Graves say that African Americans are “driving in reverse” in their quest for the proverbial American Dream. In 1984, white Americans had a net worth 12 times that of our community; Today, he says, that ratio is 20 to 1.
What does that mean in dollars? Graves breaks it down.
“The typical black household has roughly $5,700 in wealth compared with about $113,000 for the typical white household,” said Graves, son of Black Enterprise founder Earl Graves, Sr. “Moreover, more than a third of our households have zero or negative net worth versus about 15% for whites.”
In our May 4, 2012, show--featuring special guest, BlackEnterprise.com Executive Editor Alfred Edmond--we look at Graves’ statistics and others and converse about the many reasons so many black Americans still are not saving more than they spend and building generational wealth in 2012.

The inquiry into the deaths of four Americans in Benghazi, Libya by conservatives to this point has been little more than an expression of white supremacy and political theater. What the inquiry is saying is that only "American" lives matter and not the lives of the thousands killed in Libya or those that are still being killed and displaced from their homes due to ethnic cleansing by forces backed by the United States. The…
