When other races separate from their undesireables, they group with their middle and upper class counterparts; not us

[ORDER_66]

They do. Cops show white trash all over America. Those judge shows show white trash daily. Murder mystery shows have them daily. Your typical republican representative is white trash.

I mean yeah but its not put on blast 24/7 like black folks are...

 

[Wildhundreds]

i mean... what are we talking about here. i know a few people in jail this very day lol. i don't see what "separating" from them will do other than make their situation worse. folks tweeting about "shun" and "excommunicate" like they have some type of powers or some shyt LOL. they aint god.
so unless it's something i don't condone morally, i don't judge

but yes, class or race has nothing to do with it.

This is actually a good question..

Im talking about degenerate behavior, I don't care how much a person makes or what they possess..

 

[RadaMillz]

for me it's not on class but mindset
the saying 'All Skin Folk Ain't Kin Folk' comes to mind
I use to believe that you have to help everyone
but now I believe in helping those who want the help

Good thread. White people have a ton of names to distinguish themselves from “undesirable” whites and they use these terms with no shame.

Redneck
White Trash
Hillbilly
Inbred

Etc… do other races do this or it is just the whites?

Most cultures have always made distinctions based on class. The sophisticated bourgeois urban folks vs. the hicks/peasants from the country.

Would you feel better about yourself if they did?

Alot of black people are enamored with "the hood" and "keeping it real" and things of that nature. To alot of black people living in poverty and living a life of crime is what it fully means go be black (especially in regards to black males). When alot of us "make it" we still make sure to try to show "we still got it" as much as possible to show that we aren't "that removed" from the hood (aka "real black people"). This is also why you have black kids from stable families in the suburbs living the life of "real nikkas" and "bad bytches" because in their mind that what it really means to be "black".

The typical White person does not think of themselves as White.
They think of themselves as a person.

A Black person in the USA has to think themselves of "Black."

Example: People say "American" to really mean "White American"
But only "Black American" means "Black American"

 

[ORDER_66]

Would you feel better about yourself if they did?

sort of... because white folks act like they not commiting any of the crimes in america...

people have gone MISSING in these backwoods and hick states, meth dealing drug rings, opioid addicts everywhere but they always focused on what black folks is doing..

as an upper class black person i fukk with everybody just as i did when i was lower class

I think the rule is you have to be born into the upper class to be considered upper class.

Class is more than just income, education, and occupation.

It factors family background, upbringing, lifestyle, social affiliations, network, and values.

You can make $30k/year and still be considered upper class if you were born into an upper class family.

You can make $5mil/year, but if you were not born into the upper class, the highest you can attain is upper middle class at best, granted you have all the accoutrements of that class.

For instance, Oprah and Tyler Perry would be considered black elites. But they are not considered black upper class. We have political elites, academic elites, entertainment elites, cultural elites, etc. They would fall within one of those classifications. But being an elite =/= upper class.

The term black upper class is typically reserved for the group of black folks that are the descendents of the black families whose money originated during Reconstruction, the period right after the abolition of slavery. Or if you go back a little further, the black families that received land, education, or some type of inheritance left behind from a wealthy white slave owning father.

Most of the wealthy people we see in the US are actually upper middle class.

Class can be nuanced and I don't think most people actually understand it.

i'm just going to go off of the factors i named since they are less arbitrary.
for example, i grew up knowing households making to 6 figures and just get a double wide in the trailer park lol, even though it seems like most people think trailer park living is lower class based on "lifestyle" or whatever. let uncle sam tell it, they aint receiving those lower class benefits thats for sure lol.

Great points.

Wypipo in general are big on names....naming pieces of land, slurs to people, class distinctions....they have a name for fukking everything.

Black people aren't built like that because we understand that you're only as strong as your weakest link. We don't discard the poor. Notice how brehs will put they people on when they get some $$$ (any athlete that grew up poor/working class). Sometimes helping everyone is a bad idea but we're fundamentally good folks that love our people.

We should never try to emulate others because the others are morally bankrupt. See how the richest whites (or other races) versus the poorest live....and THEY control the power.

Africans can be corrupt as fukk...BUT they help their family and homies.
