Income inequality worsens for black Africans, improves for whites and Indians

[Pitbull]

I just read that article and see what the "statisticians" did.

Stats can be manipulated to suit your narrative if you want to. Vast majority of people in SA are black and uneducated. Where the opposite is true for the white population, yes even 25 years into our democracy.

So they take the average income of the black population against that of the white populations and BAM, huge discrepancy. But that's not all, they don't take into account the factors which would include unemployment by black people for whatever reason (lets assume education). They then take household income, which I assume is SASSA and then try and compare that to the working class...

Stats, got to love them

why don't you explain it to us, seeing as you are so adamant that we don't understand?

Gosh...still?
I think this has been repeated by more than one person on this tread...

 

[EADC]

Unlike some, we work hard for our income, drag our balls to make a living and expect no hand outs.

Who is some? And who is we?

 

[cheesus]

why don't you explain it to me?

 

[EADC]

Who is "we" ? Gauteng people?

Surface you have been here long enough to know being poor is a choice and working hard is reserved for the high IQ folk

Yeah, I want to take personal credit for all the colonization because you know I inherited genes from pythogoras, newton but apartheid people and hitler (godwin's I know) - I didn't select those genes at all.

I see Indians are one step closer to getting their BEE status revoked.

I am sure there is a metric out there somewhere that makes this predictable... what can it be

Yup.

In addition to the thousands of local and national programs that aim to help young people avoid these life-altering problems, we should figure out more ways to convince young people that their decisions will greatly influence whether they avoid poverty and enter the middle class. Let politicians, schoolteachers and administrators, community leaders, ministers and parents drill into children the message that in a free society, they enter adulthood with three major responsibilities: at least finish high school, get a full-time job and wait until age 21 to get married and have children.

Our research shows that of American adults who followed these three simple rules, only about 2 percent are in poverty and nearly 75 percent have joined the middle class (defined as earning around $55,000 or more per year). There are surely influences other than these principles at play, but following them guides a young adult away from poverty and toward the middle class.

In other words high IQ doesn't mean you don't end up being a d00s, it just means you're really, really good at it when you do.

It is a limiting factor.
It isn't the only determinant, a lazy, high IQ person won't succeed.

Indians would then be honorary beneficiaries of apartheid then.

I bow to your superior genes and innovations that they did in the past.

Don't come here with your nuance.

Well that depends on what you mean by Jordan and it also depends on what you mean by Petersoning . This is a very complex proposition... One must acknowledge the underlying verisimilitude that is irrevocably nested within a multi-layered metaphysical substrate which many people fundamentally conflate with their ideological presuppositions with no uncertain irregularity, causing the inadvertent dismissal of Jung's archetypal extrapolation of the quintessential axiomatic juxtaposition required to achieve Raskolnikov's magnitude of Neo-Marxist existential nihilism...

Bowing seems so feudal.

You might get one at your nearest car wash....might not be your very own...same thing though.

Don't lose hope comrade. Remember the sacrifices your family made, battles they fought against botha government. There would be a SA schindler's list movie were it not for this current tyrannical government. But, as you lay destitute and homeless in krugersdorp, be mindful that history shall remember you and others like you here.
