What about asians? Latinos? Arabs? BlackLivesMatter but to get rich is your own doing
So the premise is that if the representation of blacks is 13% of the population then there should be 79.95 black billionaires (615*13%) Therefore, society/government/ citizens? should pick 73.95 black people and make them billionaires..?
How many are left handed? Just as important of a question.... this is stupid. Work hard, get what you want. BTW there is no exact course to be a billionaire or everybody would be one.
And that matters because?
OMG money is so racist!!!!!
How many women, how many short people, how many with beards ... stfu
same as Canada! MOre white billionaires.
This means 615–regardless of one’s race/color—did much better than most in their respective fields/businesses. Spinning this to add racist flavor does not help and only worsening the issue. All LivesMatter
You forgot about dre
trulyyousuf1 This is why things will never change, on the surface they will paint a new picture but money controls everything, the bulk of the money is with white ppl. The money dictates policy.
Blacks should work tougher.
LOL! With people starving and living paycheck to paycheck or worse, the number of black billionaires is some I need to worry about?
How many browns?
You guys are like the “Teen Vogue” of economic reporting. Congratulations? TheScalpeledge
What do you want us to do...
Quite frankly, this article provides limited insight. A better and more informative article SHOULD have been about how many billionaires are POC - the idea is to include and present all ethnic backgrounds, which as you will discover, cannot be easily defined by skin color.
Is there any law that prohibits any race of becoming a billionaire? NO. Then all human beings in the US are free to become a billionaire, just get out and work for it. Most of them became a billionaire on their own, by what they invented. Pointless article.
The problem is number of billionaires. Not number of black billionaires. The income inequality and injustice is the root of all evil. Not color of billionaires.
and ? it's White fault ? you very stupid and talking no-sense
And...?
So ?
No one tells you that you can’t be a billionaire.. they made their money, go make it if you want it. Stop complaining about other people’s achievements.
They all have more money than what they know what to do with it. So what does it matter?
Would it make an iota of a difference if only 6 of them were white?
Dollar doesn't differentiate color. Color aside, how many of those American Billionaires pay taxes?
That’s a lot of wealth consolidation
There are 615 people I'm the United States. 615 of them are people.
Money is inherently racist
That’s 615 too many. $999 million and a dog park named after them. Any $$ above that goes to society so we can have nice things like education for all. Mikel_Jollett right?
Lack of transformation
yes, cause black people aren’t capitalist scums 🙈
chenweihua Ah yes, being a black multimillionaire is a great contribution to ending racism. Just one question: how many blacks must be poor for there to be a multimillionaire black?
Oh my
And there should be NO billionaires when others are starving in the damn streets.
Is this supposed to be controversial?
How many are Natives?
how many are not white? not white and black are two different categories. For a chance of being a millionaire, asians have higher chances that whites.
Another crass headline cashing in on the death of a violent knife-wielding thug
I think you're very Wrong or just ignorant about the number. If it were true, Real Americans wouldn't surpass 30 on that list. Foreigners are the ones who made America what it is, especially the billionaires & inventors
How many Yellow and Brown.?
cue up the conservatives with their 'black people didn't work hard and so they are too lazy to get rich' rhetoric in 3...2....1
We need 0. Of any race.
Is the intention to stir thing up? Whites have more economic roots in the capital and economic landscape. Its a matter of history and circumstance. Moving forward that can very much change.
How many Hispanic?
Record unemployment for minority groups in the USA in the last three years. We are moving in the right direction.
Please stop this...
623 billionaires pls correct it
How many Asians?
WHO warns pandemic is 'accelerating' in Africa. coronavirus will likely kill at least 300,000 Africans... COVID19
