i mean, ultimately to each his own. yes making these white an asian jewelers richs does nothing but take money right back out the black community. But it's not everybody's job to uplift with every dollar they spend.
If had millions to spend on nothing, i'd probably buy alot expensive shyt too. (houses, cars etc)
but jewelry in particular just seems so wasteful, its an accessory it just sits there and does nothing, plus most people can't tell the difference between price level. With the nice house at least i get to enjoy the creature comforts that come with it. lounging in a jacuzzi smoking .
personal chef cooking you gourmet meals, shyt like that. You feel catered to and your life is more leisurely.
but jewelry, expensive or cheap, clothes, does nothing. you want clout? you can do the same by literally keeping that cash and showing that off instead like mayweather. why waste it?
