well for Black ppl as a whole, we've always been lacking so, the "all about the money" thing is prevalent among us. Prblem is, our "all about the money" mentality often involves small time thinking, hook-ups, or monetary means that are not sustainable long term. Which yes, often does lead to petty backstabbing, two-faced dishonesty, etc.
White people's "all about the money" mindset is more open b/c they're going into law school, med school, etc.b/c they have more chances to succeed in general in this society. That or they are typically in positions to help each other out.
But in general, one should follow their passion if & where possible. If money is ur ONLY motivation you'll often come up short
