The traditional veneration of the corporate plantation as a source of income, has blurred the already nebulous fine line of what real wealth is amongst black community worldwide. From birth we have been conditioned that the only way to earn a decent living, is by going to the university/college. But what we fail to realize is, these institutions prepare majority of us to become middle class (the new poor) at best.
The illusion of grandeur upon graduation is unmatched. Most of all getting that first corporate job (99% of the time) working for a white man who did not even graduate, seem like a good idea?
There’s absolutely nothing wrong with that, to each is own.
What is often time misleading is when the black middle class think that their above average salary, tantamount be classed financially equal to their white counterpart. This could not be farther from the truth.
