You gotta respect how dedicated some nikkas are to flexin.

He's right though. A lot of black people with new money are reckless with it. Black people in general are reckless with money.That's why most of us live in extreme poverty yet trillions of dollars leave our communities every year. Yeah white people buy expensive things but they buy what they can afford to and live comfortably. A white guy buys a 200ft yacht for a million dollars it because he's probably worth around 20 million. You see a white guy in a half a million dollar car,he's probably worth around 2-3 million. A lot of the time when you see white people making extravagant purchases they're the children of people who are very wealthy so yeah they may be around your age range buying something extravagant but their life is already set. Then we use that as an excuse to justify our reckless spending. Most of us don't have any safety net. Our parents aren't captains of industry, our grandparents didn't leave us a million dollar trust fund. You can't use the white people do it to. Yes non black people buy things to stunt but there's a huge difference between a white multi millionaire buying a yacht, a black man getting a check for 100k and buying a car that cost 100k,and a kid who makes $300 a month dollars and buys $280 worth of clothing and sneakers. At least the boat will hold its value

you sound like david duke keep thinking cacs or above everyone when they set the Stereotype

Mansa Musa or whatever his name was came through Egypt and the Mediterranean and devalued gold, nikkaz BEEN stuntin'. Any African civilization of note had hella nikkaz wearing gold chains and fine linens. People need to stop acting like it some kind of subconscious reaction to being born broke. Black people stunt, they look fresh, it is what it is. White dudes be grimey all the time and nobody gives a f*ck, let a nikka come through with hair wild as f*ck, ashy elbows and knees, dry lips, crusty tee shirt etc he gon' get roasted like a muthaf*cka. All that hair care and skin care sh*t is all of black origin, black people want to look as good as they f*ckin possibly can

*are above

And since you want to run to graphs and charts. Put up the one that displays the wealth gaps or the wage gaps. Yes there are poor white people. They live those little hillbilly towns watch NASCAR drink mountain dew and think Trump is a genius.They're poor and don't live beyond their means to buy handfuls of butter like a majority of the black community wearing their wealth on their backs and living check to check.

exactly so why we arguing again

 

[GreenGhxst]

I'm flexing hard when that financial aid comes in, and that income tax

 

[Wiles]

Spend money to impress other guys brehs

Not in harlem b...

Black people's favorite past time is showing off for other Black people.

Yeah this is why we shouldnt make contact with each other whatsoever

 

[Matt504]

*Unless we're coming together to do something constructive. Getting together to "chill" is not constructive.

"I'm on my way to kick it over there" is not constructive.

if someone calls and says they're on their way to your house, your response should be "to do what", if they don't have a sufficient answer, tell them to stay where they are.

Why? What do you lose from chilling with the homies? White folks do it too no?

 

[Matt504]

Black people are not white people and we shouldn't use them as a measuring stick of how we should behave.

What you lose from "chilling" is valuable time that could be better spent investing in yourself. If yall are getting together to work on building a business or if yall had a book club, those would fall under constructive activities.

 

[Ghostface Trillah]

I don't have to respect people who live in poverty flushing money down the toilet. At the end of the day cats who move like that will have a closet full of clothing that they couldn't even resell if times got tough.

Yes they do. White families have been living out of their means for decades, you would be surprised.

 

[The Fire]

when I was in high school and I could spend all my income on flexin

 

[BrandonBanks]

We have a backwards mentality, which is, the obsession with portraying ourselves as being wealthier than we really are.

To the clueless brehs in here screaming, "White people do it too!" Well in case you didnt know, white people as a whole have a whole system built for and around them, that they benefit from. They also have generational wealth.

AAs need to start becoming more focused on OBTAINING wealth instead of portraying ourselves as wealthy WITHOUT THE ACTUAL WEALTH. We want to look like we have more than we really have. A good example is how I've seen some brehs clown on men of other races "swag" or shoes etc yet those men are beating us in entrepreneurship, education and trades. Yeah youre wearing $500 shoes while he might be wearing some shyts that are "swagless" or outdated to you, but they've got more businesses, property,and their people actually practice group economics

Prioritize flexing over building, brehs
