“In a time when blacks in the
United States make more money
than anytime before in history, we
still are losing grounds in the fight
for building wealth,” he said.
Carter argues that wealth build
ing is a learned process, and vari
ous factors contribute to the finan
cial habits o f African Americans.
“Many Blacks emulate the finan
cial behavioroftheirparents,” Carter
says. “Next we must recognize that
until 35 years ago, most blacks had
little opportunity to be wealthy, let
alone learn how to build wealth.
