Yeah that thread was
http://www.thecoli.com/threads/i-think-philly-nikkas-dress-better-than-nyc-nikkas.463769/
3 pages of nikkas arguing about who's the most "fashionable" and freshest, what jeans, sneakers, shades, etc they preferred to wear. Which nikkas in their city dressed the best etc. They sounded like Hilary Banks
What do you expect from the number one troll on this site.
OP may have been "trolling" but the rest were dead serious
They sounded exactly like cats i've encountered offline, who definitely weren't trolling
NY nikkas can't dress
they still suck in 08. Swagless as fukk
Philly was rocking pink and girbauds and Ed Hardy before it even caught on.They were doing the gucci and prada hard while other citites were on Karl kani, south pole and pelle pelle. Take that how you wanna. They were flexing on you nikkas before you even knew it.
shyt is so feminine

@BrothaZay definitely teed that thread up as troll bait.
But you're right young black people are too materialistic.
I was talking to a girl that said one of her friends would go apply for foodstamps with $1200 handbags and heels that she would get from her sugar daddy.
And these dudes aren't any better, they will spend several hundred on a designer belt when they barely have a pot to piss in.

not be a pessimist, but due to historical/societal factors, i question how feasible large-scale group economics is for black people in america
more likely is, you'll have a greater proportion of individual black success in sectors where blacks are scarce.
the mentality of a lot of black people in america is the embodiment of free-market capitalism... being extremely individualistic, seeing other blacks as nothing more as competition and perceiving successful blacks with disdain. i think we underestimate the amount of black people who read rhetoric like what's in the OP and hit the snooze button. c'est la vie... i will happily eat humble pie if i am wrong
I don't think we necessarily need global or large scale group economics right now. In the past, it has just drawn attention by whites and they shut it down. I believe individual and community growth is better. We need to own those corner stores, laundromats, cleaning companies or other low paying jobs that immigrants gladly take over. We basically need to stabilize our communities via ownership and I feel that's "easier" to accomplish than global group economics.
im tired of seeing black men esp over the age of 25 on various boards, social media, etc talking or bragging about "swag", clothing brands (usually by European designers), shoes (usually by European designers), rappers, video games, etc like that other dude said, that'd be ok if there was more of a balance of business and entertainment, too many black men want to just talk about entertainment and swag etc all the time, crack jokes, never want to be serious. I'm all for having fun but there are times when we need to not reject serious stuff too.
The way most dudes are acting, you'd think everything was fine and we're doing just as well as asians, cacs, arabs etc

its always better to start where it affects us most and that the community once it spread through all communities then it becomes global thats how shyt works best i thought. Like fukk voting for president vote for your local community leaders thats who affect you.

Exactly.
I immediately distrust anyone who uses the "trillion dollar spending power" data point because it means absolutely nothing, economically or financially.
And what's needed is more wealth concentrated in the hands of Black Americans, greater control over property, s much higher education rate, and a state to support us.
The latter of which we do not have.

what does group economics mean, sounds like socialism, and that is a losing avenue.
Biggest thing for black americans is to drop the black inferiroty complex many have and you can see demonstrated in this thread where people basically shyt on black americans and repeat racist talking points that would be perfectly at home in a KKK meeting and get the government regulations off our backs so we can be successful and show how entrepreneurial so of us are, are hard working a lot of us are, and most importantly lose the mindset with that capital that we need white acceptance, that we need white stores to cater to us, and realize we only need ourselves, if the product is good enough.

I completely agree. But even your community leaders are going to do what's better for business (money) than the individual a lot of times. The more we own, the more we control and that's how we gain the power.

I agree. We need to buy politicians as well

I'm not against economics, I just don't agree that it's the number one solution.
You can be a millionaire and still a N word to the rest of the world. Dre had police on his ass at his mansion and they gave gave a fukk about him being rich. Would put a bullet in his rich ass.
We need a identity and resources. We need to bomb and reform our culture.

I would go farther and say that alot of black people in general are unaware that there's a problem PERIOD
