If they feel it is not enough black men adhering to the standards they've set to go around, dating interracially or becoming a Lesbian works as well. Why waste time when there's someone out there that will give you what you want/need/deserve in life.

The problem is that white people have us fukked up trying to be like them. Instead of seeing how miserably they are failing at it, we still continue to try and structure our relationships and lives after theirs. Sorry, it's not going to work. Black women are less likely to find a black man that is able to support her financially just as black men are less likely to find a black woman that will cater to his every need.

We need to focus on establishing solid friendships and trust among each other through understanding before we move to intimate relationships vs comparing our behavior in relationships to that of other races. We don't have the same experience. We are not them. Our relationships suffer because we aren't friends with each other and don't know how to be.

those standards typically only apply to black men, though :sas2:


jake can be making $45K and swoop a sista making $90K+ because she sees potential in him:mjpls:


but let darius be making the same amt and the sista will demean him for not being "on her level", even though he faced 100x more institutional obstacles than the cac. that's the nature of white privilege.


:yeshrug: what do you expect in a country where we are economically disenfranchised and racial minorities? it has us perceive each other unfavorably while glorifying historical oppressors. that stockholm syndrome breh.
You make a valuable point. That should have been brought up too.

Material excess and buying all kinds of luxury crap, will make you broke. Materialism is the reason why people are broke, no matter how much they make. That, and the lack of proper money management.

I agree and materialism definitely wasn't created within the black community.

Exactly. People can't humble themselves anymore. Everything has to revolve with the approval of others and faux social validation.

They want that dream Instagram life. Without the discipline.

Like it or not, Jake has more opportunity to make $45k than Darius does...in a corporate setting. Also Jake is probably at the lowest rung of the ladder among his peers, where as Darius making $45k is going to be considered doing well among his peers which may leave him with less ambition to want to make more. This is why we need to scrap the idea that ties a man's worth to his salary.
