Rich People Born Poor Are Less Sensitive to the Challenges of Poverty Than Those Born Rich

[Luke Cage]

This is totally understandable. They were broke and hustled their way out of poverty dealing with same hurdles and challenges everybody around them did. So they're not trying to hear nobody's excuses who can't do the same.

This,

However, i think the flaw in their thinking is that they fail to realize that they are exceptional.
Same reason why superstar players never make good coaches. MJ would ask you in practice why you didn't just lock down your opponent and drop 40 on his head. You not sitting there like gee why didn't i think of that? you didn't because you not as gifted as he is.

You don't have to be exceptional or gifted to be born rich though, so that might why this study found them to be more sensitive. they might understand that under the same circumstances people in poverty could be doing just as well as they are.

Not a surprise. They understand adversity.,

I don’t think the people that they surveyed are exceptional though. The income threshold was like $80k.

Those are just people that had discipline and perseverance.

Most professionals like doctors, lawyers, and business people are not the folks with the highest IQ’s. They are simply folks that stayed focused and pursued their paths with discipline. Not anything exceedingly exceptional about that.

 

[Thegospel]

People born into wealth tend to feel guilty about it (white guilt)

People who grinded from the bottom tend to take pride in their work ethic and feel less guilty about their success.

Smh

80K? oh, i thought they were talking about Millionaire and Billionaire shyt.

Yeah you don't need to be special to make it to the middle class or upper middle class.

 

[8WON6]

It kind of sounds like somebody that been a dime they whole life having a better level headed attitude about looks, compared to the person that lost weight and/or got surgery having a shytty attitude and constantly talking shyt about other people's looks. Something like "act like you been there".

The worse part of living in the hood is being around the ignorant people that live in the hood.

Neighborhoods with hardworking illegals are cool though.

[Professor Emeritus]

People like to build up narratives around themselves and hate ascribing anything in their lives to good luck or privilege.

So those who came up out of poverty, even if they had some good fortune or advantages compared to other people in poverty, don't want to admit it. They rewrite their own personal story to make it like they had it worse and had to do more than anyone else around them. In the process of elevating themselves, they naturally shyt on everyone else. And that self-centeredness about their narrative erodes their empathy.

I don’t think its that their less sensitive I think its that their more AWARE of people’s bullshyt, excuses, and self sabotaging ways.


There’s a clip online of Jay-Z from the Kevin Hart interview talking about the burden of even being around family members who see him as an ATM, an unlimited credit line for terrible, ill thought out investments, and a bail out bank. He spoke on people expecting him to invest in ideas or hustles and most of the comments were people saying “Why doesn’t he just give it if he’s got it?” “If he’s rich then family should ALWAYS be good” “$4,800 should be nothing to a billionaire!”

They don’t get it. Its THAT mentality of “if you got I should have it” that is a major contribution to whats keeping them poor. If you are able work hard, strategize, and maneuver your way from poverty to a life of means, that means you’ve already outgrown that particular mentality and understand that you CANNOT allow yourself to be surrounded or immersed in it.

MC Hammer felt “sensitive” about the poor people in his hood and tried to help. He went bankrupt doing so and everybody clowned him.

Prodigy felt “sensitive” about the poor dusty nikkas in Queensbridge and tried to help them. He got robbed, physically assaulted, and publicly disrespected for doing so.

There was a young 25 year old breh in Savannah, Ga who won the lottery. Dude felt “sensitive” about the poor people in his hood and tried to help them. He brought toys for all the neighborhood kids and provided turkeys for families on holidays. He was robbed, shot and killed while his last words were for his assailants not to murder him in front of his children.


Sensitivity for people of means usually leads to disaster when they try to open/heartedly assist the communities they came from. Sensitivity leads to jealousy, envy, and hate. There’s nothing wrong with helping, but honestly PERSONALLY displaying your sensitivity by cutting a check to individuals usually leads to disaster. Doing things like Nas and Jay-Z do like creating programs for the youth, community centers, cleaning up and renovating parks and buildings, and offering financial literacy courses, is a better way of showcasing sensitivity

Here’s the thing thing though, and the response I GAURANTEE they would have.

Is it that they’re actually more gifted, or did they simply just work a lot harder from a lot earlier age, and you use the idea that you’re “not as gifted” as an excuse to comfort yourself as to why you can’t do it.

Basically, I’m sure they’d just argue (and I would too, in both situations) that they’re not simply exceptional, but they MADE themselves exceptional and anyone else could have too.

This is the real answer. Very few of these bootstrap dudes actually made it where they are without a bunch of help or luck. The insecurities in that make them go harder on people from similar backgrounds without the help/luck.

I don't believe hard work makes you rich, and I'm not rich, nor do i expect to be but working with other broke people, kinda makes you dislike other broke people

I'm tired of being around uneducated motherfukkers who think the earth is flat, the Simpsons predicted everything, mermaids are real, that video with those cows dying of heatstroke is proof there's a plot to Thanos snap humanity, etc.

I want to be middle class, just let me be a cog in a machine with relative comfort, I don't want the fukking world, I want to be in the world

 

[Trajan]

Makes sense that if you put in work and made it, you would think that anyone could also do it

Yep while ignoring the good luck that's always involved. Putting in the work is only part of the story. You need a break if you're gonna be rich

Pretty much this
