Have you ever been in the presence of a snobby, upper-class black family?

[The Radiant One]

So lower class hood families cant have manners and be nice people?

nice to know

I would rather most black people be middle and upper class and afford to go to a nice restaurant (preferably owned by black people)

Also you just made a statement that has nothing to do with my post snobby>ratchet. Having money doesn't mean you have class.

Also was your meal paid for?

 

[DPresidential]

In 2001 maybe.

I kick myself every day for not buying that brownstone on Layfayette in 2001. Breh didn't want to live around the corner from the fukkery that was LG.

Damn, are you talking about near Rustik Tavern?

I feel you.

I was still in high school in the early 2000s but I really wish I could have gotten my chance to buy around that time or earlier.

I grew up in Fort Greene so I knew how to move in that neighborhood - I would have definitely purchased a brownstone in the late 90s -early 2000s.

I'm keeping a CLOSE EYE on Williamsburg, especially near the L train line.

I would have never considered that area - way too many hipsters but, if I'm correct in my layman real estate assumption, when that L train gets shut down for Hurricane Sandy repairs, that area is going to take an extremely big hit in value. The people moving their want easy transport to the City, that'll really derail a lot of the allure of that area.

I am also banking on my lack of confidence in the MTA - the chances that they are really going to finish on schedule is SLIM TO NONE.

I'm cool w/ sitting on a Williamsburg condo until the train goes back up and the property value SHOOTS UP.

Yeah, I came back from college around that time and I grew up in Flatbush/E. Flatbush so I didn't know the area as well except every fine ass sister in Brooklyn lived in Ft. Greene/Clinton Hill.

I shyt the bed big time on that one. But to answer your question, no, this was on Lafayette around the corner from Loughlin. I had to chance to sublet to buy and my ass didn't because I had to

leave the furniture in there and honestly speaking, what 21 year old is going to agree to that and there is old antiuques everywhere and plastic on all the furniture. All I could think about is bringing

women over and them thinking I live with my nana lol..

What a fool!

 

[Crayola Coyote]

Yup...but the point is snobby families are terrible humans period. All colors

White ones are annoying as hell

You're not a fool at all, breh.

We are brehs who didn't have the type of people who could provide us that type of knowledge and resources. Just take your experience and have that money saved up for the day a situation like that may pop up again.

I'm optimistic that we can be apart of the future waves of opportunity. Even considering how dysfunctional our society is, I can't ignore the fact that we are open to opportunities previously closed to our older relatives.

Regardless, though, respect.
----------------------------------------------

I'm not even trying to hate on brehs who come from the suburbs - I'm definitely not a corny nikka who assumes every suburban black man is a lame - I just see this vision of my children being City kids, knowing how to take the train w/o getting rattled, being able to go to the corner store and not being too timid to demand the correct change from the cashier even though a bunch of impatient people are behind them, and knowing how to take a damn dollar van type shyt!




I can't see myself as a Long Island dad...especially because I'm concerned as hell about my children being the only black children in the class. I'm just too scared of the worst case scenarios.

I need diversity or mostly black.

Man, my mother told me not to buy a brownstone because "the people next door will have rats and roaches that will come into your place and infest it".

I agree with you. I live in what I refer to as "suburban Brooklyn" in Flatlands. Yeah its a lot of things in the neighborhoods that could be better but I need my kids to have balance (they go to school in Park Slope). Can't have them thinking that the world is one way knowing damn well its the other way.

Better jump in that dollar cab breh, fcuk an Uber.

I've heard of a lot of people feeling this way about the Williamsburg situation...

I mean shoot your shot....but real estate market in nyc has everyone 3 steps ahead of the game at all times.

I did time in fukking Potomac, Maryland and was surrounded by cacs, jews and jack and jill lames. Coming from a West Indian background we were always grounded and didn't look down on others but these paper bag test hoes and carlton banks doppelgangers were fukking terrible.


I was so glad to move to goddamn Atlanta as a teen.

 

[lone_druid]

Some of these snobby black family's really have a weird imitation of what they think of "proper". They dress and act like a $700 outfit with some "education" will magically negate the blackness in society, and they're not even willing to help grateful brehs. Hell, I've met some REAL rich cacs through friends of friends, and they're some low-key motherfukkers driving camrys. Sad thing is that I was treated better by those rich cacs than some of these snobby people that are the same race as me.

Just to give an idea of what 90K gets you in OH.

1st one is in the hood: 55K
2nd one is in a seemingly ok neighborhood: 90K
3rd one is snobby upper class entry level: 355K

Men lie, women lie, numbers don't lie.

I'd say the 3rd one is middle class. Upper would be in the 2mil and up range

Wrong.

1st one is Shaker, nice area.

2nd one is down the street from Bellaire, that's 1 of the worst hoods on the west side
