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

This quote just shows you how deep black people are conditioned. This poster immedialty ignores the premise of the thread becuase it using white people as a positive example. Op clearly makes mention of black people in the op. Thinking the thread isn't about race when talking about white people becuase poster subconscious sees white people as a standard. But The minute you say something about black people it becomes a "race" thread. But I digress.

Race aside, it's a big difference you see in people who come from money vs the poseurs/nouveau riche; Old money likes to keep a low profile and consider ostentatious displays to be gauche, while the people who try hardest to flex are people who aren't really rich but want you to think they are

Old money flexes just as hard as new money, if not more. Just becuase their buying land and houses doesn't mean that they are not flexing they just flexing in different ways. Rich snotty people who look down on new money are mostly likely pretentious ass holes. They flex there money paying lobbyist to pass bills that may effect your community but now we're suppose to think these people are using their money for good and better than someone buying some damn shoes. GTFO

I was just thinking in general, you might have read into that too much.

What you invest your money in shows what you value. It goes back to what we're raising people to put value in. A good majority of the black community is living like they won't be alive next week. Having unprotected sex with random and multiple people, eating the most unhealthy foods all day everyday, giving the little money we get right back on frivolous things. Then we are alive next week and pretend to be disappointed in ourselves for having baby mamas and child support,health issues,and no money to take care of things we need to survive.

It's really the Guns and Butter argument. Other cultures get their guns way before they get their butter. The hood just keeps buying butter over and over again then leaching off the few that were smart enough to buy guns
