Black Wealth Could Hit Zero by 2053: The Truth About The Black Wealth Gap
Why is Black wealth projected to hit zero by 2053? In this episode of The Blessed Code™️, host Melvin Rodriguez sits down with Dr. Reverend Charlie Dates and Ross Mac to uncover the deep-rooted generational trauma that has shaped the Black community’s relationship with money, banks, and investing.
From the collapse of the Freedman’s Bank to modern-day underinvestment, they unpack why so many still distrust financial systems — and how that mistrust has left the Black community underbanked, underinvested, and dangerously behind in wealth building.
If you’ve ever wondered:
Why generational trauma impacts financial decisions today
How the Black church can lead economic change
Why investing is essential to closing the wealth gap
What must happen to secure Black wealth for future generations
…this conversation is for you.
