@Mr Carter and @Niklaus, spinoff of posts you made about materialism/displays of wealth

Anybody can be savvy bruh

Has nothing to do with race. Either you're savvy or you aren't. There are just as many white people flashing their money as there are white people playing it down. Same goes for blacks, Hispanics, Asians and Jews. Either you're smart with money or you're not.

Breh, anytime someone on here remotely criticizes anything among the black community, nikkas act obtuse, they're quick to deflect by saying "white ppl do it too"(and i never said they didn't), but so do we, but nikkas dont wanna talk about that, it hits to close to home. Im gonna get the topic back on track because it was about black americans, "we do it too", and usually its before ownership of the more important shyt, plus white ppl have white privilege and more of an advantage than black ppl in the U.S., and they're paid more on average, etc, so these ppl saying "white ppl do it too" in this context and to the point i was making doesn't make sense anyway

Trust white people know what other white people with money look like and how they dress. They know how to show status. Just because they do it in different ways doesn't mean they don't do it. In this day for every quiet millionaire there is a flashy one. Go to any major city in the nicer parts of town. You will see opulence. Expensive things don't need labels for you to be able to tell they are expensive. Thing you think don't cost much cost twice or 3 times more than you think. Those becky's know what to look for if that's their game.

the white guys that dont stunt have had money most of their lifes and were probably taught not to stunt early, a lot of white guys be stunting tho, dont get it fuked up


i went college with a bunch of black, white, asian guys that all stunted with their fake polo, gucci and LV belts, but never had money for lunch or college equipment

exactly. black people are very flossy and boastful when it comes to materialistic things. I have this problem I always catch myself though. Being low profile with your money is the way to go

You can NOT compare the black community to the white community. They were never on equal footing to compare. That's why this thread is useless.

There nobody stopping you from learning financial literacy. And once you do it's becomes clear how financially illiterate others are or how ignorant you used to be. I see people I know complain all the time about lack of money only to see them make foolish purchases the next payday. Yes, white people got a head start due to white supremacy but it's 2016 and plenty of people of color are getting theirs....black immigrants alone make your point moot. You got cats who come to America from Ghana, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Somalia or the Caribbean and be dead broke upon arrival but end up successful in 5-10 years because their mindset is different as a collective. Same skin. Same disadvantages. Different mind state. Get rid of those mental shackles. I wasn't even talking about race and you went there. Ain't nobody stopping you from learning to live on less, gain skills to make more and learn way to make what you got work for you. Ain't no boogie man stopping you from doing that..

Forget about white people, we're talking about the black community and our tendency to be boastful in general. Our issues has nothing to do with white people imo

Stop comparing these groups whom have different historical backgrounds. Much of these immigrants are rich back in there own countries. you say in one breath that everyone can be fiscally responsible then in another you reduce the problem to just the black community.

Funny how people's mind instantly go to a black vs white thing

You can't generalize an enitire group. Black people are not a monolith. Y'all literally generalizing based on the black people you've hanged around. Mainly teenaged black boys spending their money shoes. So you think every black person spends on frivolous shyt. Literally judging entire group of people based on one subset(s) of said group.

It was already a white and black thing in the start of the thread. Where y'all not reading the damn thread? Two quotes making note of how rich white people spend there money. It compared how black people spend their money in relation to wealthy white people. Which is dumb given the histories of both groups.

You're a clown and looking for excuses. Half those nikkas come over here DIRT POOR and they just as black as us. Those African kids over there love learning because it's the difference between being stuck in their shythole country or getting out, they come over here and take off while blacks here got a million excuses. I'm not talking to no excuse for everything azz nikka. Have a good day.

No one is making excuses just not letting you box black people into petty generalizations.

Lots of things in life are a generalization. The bolded is an generalization in itself. The fact of the matter is, a MAJORITY of black people are like this. There's no need to dance around the issue

So most black people are fiscally irresponsible is what your basically saying. Verses most black teenage boys are fiscally irresponsible. Which is ok since there fukking kids but I digress.
