Generational Wealth Quotes

“Certainly, the Negro has been deprived. Few people consider the fact that, in addition to being enslaved for two centuries, the Negro was, during all those years, robbed of the wages of his toil. No amount of gold could provide an adequate compensation for the exploitation and humiliation of the Negro in America down through the centuries. Not all the wealth of this affluent society could meet the bill. Yet a price can be placed on unpaid wages. The ancient common law has always provided a remedy for the appropriation of the labor of one human being by another. This law should be made to apply for American Negroes. The payment should be in the form of a massive program by the government of special, compensatory measures which could be regarded as a settlement in accordance with the accepted practice of common law. Such measures would certainly be less expensive than any computation based on two centuries of unpaid wages and accumulated interest.”
― Martin Luther King Jr., Why We Can't Wait

“Between 1934 and 1962 the U.S government handed out billions of dollars in home loans. But those weren't available to anyone black, a system eventually referred to as redlining, which would ensure that only whites could get out of poverty and find ways to wealth. In the U.S., that's what caused the development of ghettos. People of colour were not able to invest in housing that could then be passed on down through generations, forming the sort of wealth that many white people have.”

― Eric Overby, Tired Wonder: Beginnings and Endings

“They'll want to see my reactions to their abundance: polite restraint, concealed outrage, and a base, desirous hunger beneath. I must play this part with a veneer of new-millennial-money coolness; serving up savage witticisms alongside the hors d'œuvres. It's a fictionalization of who I am, but my engagement transforms the fiction into truth. My thoughts, my ideas - even my identity - can only exist as a response to the partygoers' words and actions. Articulated along the perimeter of their form. Reinforcing both their self-hood, and its centrality to mine. How else can they be certain of who they are, and what they aren't? Delineation requires a sharp, black outline.”
― Natasha Brown, Assembly

“What good does it do one to pile up wealth
if no good or honor issues from it?
Assets are worth much less than manure:

― Heldris de Cornualles, Silence: A Thirteenth-Century French Romance

― Liz Moore, The God of the Woods

“When governments control everything, your perceived or glorified wealth is just an illusion.

Until you have these, you are still at the mercy of the system - and, it was created to put you in check whenever you want to have a contrary opinion.”
― Olawale Daniel, Mastering the Crypto World: Understanding and Trading Cryptocurrencies for Profits
