Where is the proof of this cause u just writing shyt
When we stop being in denial, stop being emotional, and stop blaming our problems on everyone else, we’ll have progress. The man gave some reasonable advice, and here you are,

Where’s the proof?
:damn:

The proof is we have the lowest net worth, but are super consumers.

The evidence is the lack of middle class black neighborhoods. We’ll rent the luxury apartment when we get the good job, but not buy a house. We also don’t get married as often, and have more single earner households.

I’d also like to add no home, but kids have fresh sneakers, designer bags, iPhones, and parents going on vacation.

I can't cosign this. The luxury apartment is a staple of successful people in multiple cities across America, it's not some black-specific thing. Go to LA or NY, find a random white guy who makes 500k yearly and I guarantee you he is living in an apartment or condo. A lot of young people aren't thinking about home ownership, they're thinking about city living, job advancement, and moving to bigger/better buildings. I sure as fukk would rather live in 423 Park Ave in NY than any home in the city.

Ok fine. But if we’re talking generational wealth in the black community, this isn’t it.

Nah....this is giving white people wayyyyy too much credit.

Most of them live paycheck to paycheck and think short term (big trucks, McMansions, nice vacations etc.)

Black people spend too much time overvaluing white people and assuming they do things "right." Any advantages they have come from money that's passed down and simply having more $$$ to play with..getting paid more to do the same work and getting job opportunities others don't get that pay more money.

The American economy is designed to keep all people except the wealthy, in wage slavery. IRS doesn't even try to go after rich people anymore.

Black folks...we gotta stop believing this pathological bullshyt like we're inherently flawed and the white man has all the answers. We can improve and do better but it's not by following the white man's "example" because most of them are nk better than us.

The net worth difference? That's entirely from the values of their homes and their homes are worth more because we live in a majority white country and whites only want to live around each other. Their home value gets inflated. Increase the number of Blacks in that neighborhood by 20% and the price drops even if nothing else changes.

yup…gucci wouldn’t be in business if it was mostly black folks buying it…low brow “motivational” vid that looks/sounds like some fake AI shyt

great post btw…I don’t have the energy to correct the shytty thinking/stereotypes (re: black folks) “offered” on these forums anymore but it’s great to see folks pointing this bullshyt out for what it is

Black people are not biggest consumers of luxury brands

Wypipo and Asians are

I seen a lot of white/asian kids coming to school with expensive ass clothes and sneakers…one asian kid had on $700 yeezys (literally)…I jokingly asked if he was working…said his parents gave him the money :yeshrug:

can’t say it enough…the greatest trick cacs have pulled thru media is getting some black folks to believe that shyt that is common to all races is limited to us

If you've worked in retail or live near an Asian American community, you'd know Asian Americans spend way more money flossing and flexing high-end branded products than black folks. Its not even close. How come their frivolous spending doesn't hold them back? Its because no one is an iPhone or pair of Yeezys away from financial prosperity or financial ruin. Dude is spitting straight up self-hate.

Right! We can definitely acknowledge that but we definitely have to acknowledge some other determining and contributing factors as well. I dont write white people off as the superior beings that have it all figured when they literally started with a significant head start.
