Why are wealthy / surburban black people seen as LESS black?

only if they don't use slang every other word, wear clothes that fit, or their kids pass all of their tests and graduate on time, and have their kids in wedlock.

If they're doing any of that, then they don't know the "real struggle" of what it's like to be "black."

Yea that doesn't make sense. All this hustling and grinding people talk about, then when you make your life better, you're not black enough?

Because they tend to stay separate from larger black society. Stop making stupid fukking threads.

This is complete bullshyt

I hope this is sarcasm

Also, can we quit making suburbs synonymous with wealth? There are various classes of people in suburbs. Suburbs are basically any place outside of large cities and then rural towns are on the edge of suburbs.

It should also be mentioned that the most well-to-do Black families actually live in the city. Families that can afford to live on the Upper East Side or the Gold Coast and send their kids to Collegiate or Latin typically have more money than blacks in White Plains or Olympia Fields.

Suburbs became the largest vehicle of White flight, and their purpose in the latter half of the twentieth century became economic and literal segregation.
Assimilating or growing up in a suburban environment generally means rejecting or leaving behind aspects of Black culture, and embracing bland aspects of White culture.
There are Black suburbs, but as a person that went to college with suburban Blacks (not from Black suburbs, but from 95%+ White suburbs) who weren't even given the upper-class Black experience like cotillion, Jack and Jill, and historically Black churches; there is a true disconnect. Its not nice to see, but it is incredibly cringey.

A lot of them are trying to find their Blackness that their parents didn't cultivate as young adults. I have one friend like that, though she's never come across as "trying too hard," because she got portions of it fed to her throughout her youth (went down to Alabama in the summer, grew up in a Black suburb, albeit the White side).

Here in the MidWest suburbs are notoriously known for being wealthier than their surrounding communities.
From Chicago, to Detroit, to Columbus, to Cleveland, to Milwaukee, to Indianapolis, etc.
I know its the case in most places in the Southeastern section of the United States.

Depends on which suburb. Im an Ohio boy, for example....Westerville is a rich suburb, Urbana is a mixture of all classes.
