so, i wholeheartedly disagree with the idea that there isn't a GRAVE disparity in how "middle class" blacks and "middle class" whites live.
I've not said anything about whites not having it better than black, or anything about discrimination. What I've talked about is that there is a black middle class and everyone not being rich and poor.



• Median earnings in 2006 of a white American aged 25 to 34 who held a master’s degree: $50,000
• Median earnings in 2006 of an African American aged 25 to 34 who held a master’s degree: $50,000

Followed by

Things like


• Percentage of all white females ages 25 to 29 in 2007 who had completed a bachelor’s degree: 39.2%
• Percentage of all African-American females ages 25 to 29 in 2007 who had completed a bachelor’s degree: 20.0%


• African-American percentage of all students enrolled in professional schools in 2006: 7.8%

and on.


Things are however looking up, as long as people learn how to fukking raise a family and how to obey the law with 40% of the prison population as if dukes enjoy being slaves. It's hard to break a vicious cycle that spawned from from slavery and a worthless system to make up for it, but it's been looking up exponentially since the 90s.

You gotta be talking about the old heads that sold that shyt back in the 80s and 90s and thrived now. I'm talking about this era. Name me one person of gen Y that is selling that shyt and actually balling out of control? It ain't happening in 20133, so go to school/ learn a trade and make money the honest way.

What are you talking about?

nikkas are making plenty of money off of pills these days

for many blacks, hustling is the only avenue to prosperity. if you're black in america, the odds of you succeeding in the face of racism are very small. look at the black middle class. it's almost non-existent.

don't hate on a brother for resorting to a means that allowed him to eat and feed his family.

:whoo:

so while external efforts like

-poor school funding,
-poor food quality available in the community
-gentrification,
-black jobless rates higher than the national average
-inadequate healthcare
-conditioning of black folks to view their history as trivial,
-conditioning of black folks to view the lack of individual effort as the sole reason for their plight

are taking a heavy toll on the current community, and future generations...you want a few black folks to help the external efforts by internally destroying the community by hustling, so that those few could eat. While conveniently ignoring that the prison industrial complex is really eating off their hustle? nah bruh

:rolleyes:

how are they destroying the community by serving a demand that isn't going anywhere? black people need capital. that, more than anything else, is we are struggling as a community. we lack the money to divest ourselves from white america and make something of ourselves in spite of their racism. where's that capital going to come from? menial 9-5 jobs that barely allow us to pay for gas and rent? much of the seed money for black business has come from dudes in the trade.

look at the irish and italian immigrants, who were discriminated against by the WASP power structure at the start of the century. do you think their organized crime focused primarily on popping bottles and driving expensive cars? no. they made money and channeled that to legitimate enterprises that would allow their community to prosper and sow the seeds for future generations.

you serious? the illegal drug trade and associated crimes, social drag don't hurt the black community?

:heh:

first and foremost the overwhelming majority of drug dealers who are successful enough to actually start a legitimate business aren't doing it because they want to invest in black success. they're doing it to avoid the alphabet boys. got to make all that money look legit somehow.

second, very very very few drug dealers get to a point where they're successful enough to invest any money at all. most of the time they're living reup to reup and blowing the proceeds in between. only the smart ones stash funds for bail and prepaid attorney fees, payoff police, spread money to the street team to take the heat for them.

the immigrant example isn't a good one in relation to the black community because those cats come from well established and organized crime families. they created roots and prospered during a time when minimum sentencing guidelines and racial profiling weren't standard practice. they also were deeply involved in gambling and extortion. drug dealers in the black community had no chance at replicating the scale of success the mafia had/has.

Plus most of the mafia ended up dead or in jail anyway, nothing to look up to at all.

stop reading at this point. Now it's obvious you are trolling and/or you are being intellectually dishonest for the sake of an argument. You are choosing to ignore the various documentaries, studies, and even tales by rappers from different regions describing how a family unit could be fractured by the drug game elements such as
-drug use,
-when the father get's arrested for drug dealing,
-high crimes in communities due to turf war over drug spots,
-high crimes due to junkies wanting that next hit

Without solid family units living in a community, that community will always implode
