Hangin' Out With Bougie, Uppity Black People Appreciation Thread

[DaChampIsHere]

Man, I been hangin' around one of my mentor's family all day. Their family invited me over to their house to celebrate the new year and to give me some Christmas presents. They are in the Boule and all the other orgs and I'm just floored with humility when I'm around them. I was kickin' it with his daughter part of the day and I kept telling her how blessed she is and how she should be grateful for the opportunities her parents have afforded her.

I'm a very hard man to humble, but every time I'm in his family's presence, I'm like and I feel so blessed and lucky to be there. They be schoolin' my ass like crazy and keepin' me grounded and remind me of what's real.

Now, I think my parents did an awesome job of raising me of course by giving me the opportunity to connect and meet such people with whom they are affiliated, but it's great to know that you have multiple people to turn to as a source of inspiration and for advice on different things. Also, things just sound a lil different when they come from the mouth of people who are unrelated.

They got me 2 polo sweaters and a hat for Christmas, but them shyts ain't fit so they gettin' me somethin' else. They be hookin' me up like I'm they kid.

I do what I can for people now, but I can't wait until I get to their position in life so I can do for someone what they do for me.

If they don't have a summer home in a certain area of this country, they are not in the boule, nor are they elite.

Sure bud. And how are you so sure they don't have any of that?

How nikkas hatin' on people over the internet that they've never even been associated with or know of?

You can be black and have a decent life without being uppity.
Just because someone makes 100k; has a couple of kids and has Claire Huxtable as a wife, doesn't make him or his family boujie.

Trust me. I know them. They are uppity. They do a lot of good, but they uppity. I'm not calling them such for no reason.

Decent spot. But not where I'm referring to.

@OP

Do they have a summer home in a certain area? Simple question. If not they are not in the boule nor are they elite. It is what it is.

There is a common misconception of the black elite being extremely wealthy but the reality is most entertainers(sports, film, music) have amassed larger fortunes. It is about family. Who you marry? Values? Profession? How many generations of college graduates? What college you attend?

Money matters but you will find a lot of families in organizations like Jack N Jill who don't make 100k a year.
