How come blacks and whites are obsessed with expensive things?

[Drake is God]

Americans are materialistic

We were verify spiritual at first. We moved away from that element and now like shiny bs with no substance.

That's why they look like bums? Cause they are cheap .

Why is it wrong to enjoy the finer things in life? Why is a waste to look sharp and eat good, I'd say that it's a waste of life to not do those things.

I don't have a problem with wanting the finer things in life.

But if you ain't got your priorities in line then THAT is where the problem lies.

buying $200 belts and $300 shoes when you can barely pay your bills is a problem,

Droppin $500 at the club just to ball out for a night while having a hard time financially is a problem.


I see ppl (white and black)...who would rather by a sack of weed and party all weekend then pay their bills, then have to try and beg all week for help from ppl just to pay their rent.

fukk that.



BUT, the fact that ppl thing that material things are "the finer things in life" is what has got to change.

Mexicans are much more humble.

I always hear ppl saying on this site how much they pay for dates and clothes and all lifestyle

Mexicans dont be wasting the same lol.

Look at poor mexicans and assume all mexicans are the same way, brehs.

It's like people looking at black people that are "hood" and assume that behavior is standard for all blacks
I highly doubt the upper middle-class mexicans and rich mexicans fit that description.

But to answer your question, most people who come from humble beginnings learn to be grateful for what they have and dont sweat all the crazy sh!t you spoiled mofos stress over in America.

I kinda understand why poor ppl do this. as a young dude growing up poor as fukk you always felt like a fukkin champ when you got that new pair of kicks or some new clothes at christmas time or your birthday.

that feeling doesn't really change when you get older. Living poor and miserable ppl just need to get that "win" once in a while so when that tax return comes in you feel like you ballin for a minute cuz you got $1000 in your hand.


its just at what point in your life do you realize that maybe putting that money in to getting a cert is better than ballin out with that money.

too many ppl don't find that out until later in life...thankfully I realized that sooner than later...

@Monte Cristo are they?

 

[Monte Cristo]

@Monte Cristo are they?

I dont know

How Mexican men treat Mexican women and vice versa is irrelevant to me.
All I care about is how they treat darkskinned races. They can be humble all they want back in Mexico.

 

[Hans Wurst]

because modesty comes from religion and god is dead. money is god now, and there is nothing that dampens our greed anymore. this is why the devil rules the world.

You're kidding right? I know Mexicans from Mexico who are ballin on some Paris/London Fashion week shyt! I know working class Mexicans who are pushing fully loaded pickup trucks... Mexicans be ballin the fucc out, they just use more cash... Sheeeeet I know Mexicans out in Phoenix that live in fuccin mansions like the shyt you see on Telemundo.

Front door big as a fuccin wall...

You clearly ain't been around no Mexicans...

You said all that but didnt ask the OP where he based his opinion from when we all know that more then likely its from something stereotypical.

I have NEVER seen a Mexican that didn't have rims on their truck. I spent time around a lot of Mexicans and they were mostly poor but they had rims and the newest electronics. They are also into the shoe thing now, Jordan's and Lebrons all over the place.
