And not just generational material wealth, but generational intellectual wealth as well. What % of black people have parents they can go to ask complex financial questions about investing, mortgages, loans, retirement, etc. vs white people? Or even just basic cooking/diet/physical health questions? People vastly underestimate the value of intellectual wealth passed from successful, educated parents to their offspring.

agreed, cultural and intellectual wealth is far more valuable than material wealth. Take the Jewish people for example, the reason they can go from one place to the other with no material wealth and still come out on top is probably due to their inherited cultural/intellectual wealth.
