British High School bans expensive coats to stop "poverty shaming"

[kn83]

Black people go bard with what we do...

Just look at tbe state we're in, look at any of the problems you recognize in black communities. Tbey all lead back to no money in the black community.

A popular topic, the violence in Chicago, leads back to lack of money.

Now lack of money is caused by no ownership due to systemic oppression. If we're being systemically oppressed, what is there to floss about? Who are you flossin on besides other oppressed black people?

WHO ARE YOU FLOSSIN ON BESIDES OTHER OPPRESSED PEOPLE!!!

Because the group with foot in our ass are just at our flossin.

So explain how telling Black folks to stop flossin helps? Enforced modesty will not stop systematic oppression, it will just breed repression on top of it.

You cannot compare a walkman to an iphone and yes you are going to see luxury suvs dropping off kids in private schools but i am taking about poorer people who subscribe to the keeping up with the jonase mindset to fit in.
The ipad generation of kids want to consume more.They become more depressed and they lack the social skills.

If someone wants to go into debt buying things to impress other people they’re more than welcome to. Not my purse, not my problem.

The iPad generation cannot consume what their parents don’t buy them. If they lack social skills it’s down to the parents to get them to socialise face to face.

We had the option of uniforms growing a lot of kids used them. Even tho the latchkey nikkas came in with dirty ass uniforms. But nikkas wasn't gettin beat up as much behind gear

Y'all elitist idiots on the first page are stupid as fukk

So many schools around the world have uniform codes, and y'all are out here "Too bad, fukk broke people"
Dumbass "let them eat cake" motherfukkers like y'all is why the guillotine was invented.

What’s the point of buying an expensive coat if you can’t show it off?

Aint even that

You tryna get your kid a high quality jacket that'll last them some years

Now u gotta get em some bummy shyt that'll rip in 6 months cuz some kids feelings hurt

Telling black folks to stop flossin is like telling the wr on the cleveland browns to stop dancing when he makes a 5 yard catch. When the TEAM is down 55-3!

See right now we have teens who are kickin doors, sellin dope, scamming, etc., in order to buy stuff they shouldn't be concerned with.

When we get some real power and ownership then we can endorse a flossin lifestyle.

I could wear a canvas chore jacket from Walmart as long as my clothes fit and shoes are fly

 

[OC's finest]

i wonder about that sometimes when i hear coli nikkas talking about how much money they drop on shyt idk if its facts or

you mean to tell me thecoli has got the biggest congregation of black folks that make 200k a year

Or more realistically, he makes 60k a year and drops 1k on clothes that last less than 6 months

Setting up the next generation of materialistic people. Best to be home schooled at that point. Dont mind my kids,dressing fresh, but I will ALWAYS warn them, that I will take away their nice stuff if they make fun of poorer people or people who dont dress like them.

We got to end the cycle of unbounded materialism. Even if its only 6 hours of the day.

This is the exact reason why generations are getting more and more weaker and financially dependent over time........



Kids have to learn life isn't fair and everyone can't do the same thing.......those children going to grow up complaining that their co-worker has a better car than them not knowing how he got it or how many side jobs/hustles he got.....

I also got a feeling that this is more the adults than the kids and a lot of hate and self reflecting is going on, so when they child come home and tell them Edward got a moncler coat...... and they look at that price they feel sub-par to the other adults that can afford it......And instead of doing what my parents did which was ''Negro you outcho damn mind'' when request got to out of hand they went the in-mature route thus creating a new generation to do the same......

You got heart and good intentions but stopping flossing ain't gone magically solve all of black peoples woes.......and in irony whether we admit it or not most flossing gives motivation..... Back Highschool when we spoke of college it was to be able to afford the finer things in life......

 

[Jimmy Two-Times™]

You're black (I'm guessing), and I saw that you had Ian Wright as an Avi and your posts in the soccer thread in the coliseum. Makes it an easy assumption

Damn.

East London to be exact.

Getting access to things you don't currently have access to is the MAIN motivator for the common man.

I think it's absurd to think that taking away a sign of what somebody is missing out on, makes things better.
