Also, many of us rather spend money trying to look like we have wealth, rather than actually try to build wealth. As long as we've got that job in the white man's business and some trinkets to flex with, who cares about building?
And the empty symbolism we love so much. Examples of this empty, meaningless symbolism, wearing T-Shirts with hashtags on them and shyt. Retweeting pictures of somebody standing in the street pumping their fist. Celebrating because some rapper finally said something about vague about racism in a press conference or at an awards show.
I concluded this a long time ago, if a nikka is saying he's Pro Black, black empowerment, etc but he doesn't mention or better yet demonstrate ANYTHING about entrepreneurship, group economics, etc most of the time, the nikka is all talk, just another guy who just wants to work a little job for white ppl and buy trinkets to flex on IG.
Examples of more empty symbolism we love so much....and you can witness this whenever the topic of Blacks and Arabs or Blacks and Mexicans etc comes up.....a lot of Black American men think that because some Arab or Latino store owner is friendly to them when they come in their store/restaurant that some sort of "brown coalition" exists. Black american men are literally the only group of men in america who still buy into multiculturalism. It's plain to see that everybody else is practicing group economics, but we still think there's some sort of 'POC/minority brotherhood. nikkas are like, "What yall talking bout?

They cool as fukk. Whenever i go to the store or see them around, they always speak" Overly impressed by shyt like this. First of all, they're friendly when you go in their stores because you're BUYING shyt from them and it's good for business. Paying attention to actions instead of just words is something we should do more often. Because, how many Asians, Arabs, Latinos, etc do you see opening businesses with black men? How many of them do you see letting a black man manage their store? How many black men do you see even working in their stores?.....Yeah.
Some black men even let them call them "nikka".
If our concern was about building and becoming more prosperous economically, we wouldn't be so easily impressed by men of other races being "nice" to us and other dumb, meaningless bullshyt.
