Spin it how you want bruh....you're the one who made the comment....As opposed to buying authentics from white folk?
I'm not trying to spin anything, the point is that Black people largely don't produce anything and you ran in to tell me that I've given money to Asians for knockoffs of the same products you proudly give money to white folk for.
Having money doesn't fix the condition we're in and your insistence on attempting to shame people that bought shoes from Asians instead of the white man might be the all the proof that we need of that.

To preserve any money you get, you have to have money coming in to pay your bills, so that you don't spend down your savings. Unfortunately, the pandemic has somewhat exposed what would happen. so we definitely need to get better prepared. Maybe monthly is better. A lot of people would be smart with it, but many won't be. You can't buy a house in Cali with 200k. You could make a down payment, but the house would still be 2k a month, at least. You would pretty much have to buy property outside of the state to make good use of it. You could also start a business, but most businesses fail, and you don't want to use your own money for that anyway.
Families and friends would have to get together to combine their money to buy things outright. Buy a 4 unit building outright. That's the way forward, but do we have the ability to work together? Also, buy Black, so that the money doesn't leave the community. Can we handle that, or not? Anyway, I don't believe they're going to do a big payout like that, simply because too many people would make smart moves with it.

That was literally the point of you coming in here mentioning me buying replica sneakers from Asians as if it's somehow different than you buying authentic shoes from white folk.
both equations end with us having shoes, both equations end with the money flowing from Black pockets into non-Black pockets.
I didn't take offense at all, if anything, my purchase didn't support white folk while yours did.
Didn't watch but it's easily the biggest red flag available in the reparations movement. Seriously break down the logic here:
There's a generational debt, the bedrock of the country... And you want it to be paid in CASH to YOU
All your ancestors... everyone that's gonna come after you... "nah, give ME cash. If somebody else blows their money that's on them"
THE FUKK?!
people talking that kinda shyt aren't about 'lineage' the way they think they are. 'Lineage' is just some internet ass acronym and barking about black immigrants, nostalgic photos and video, etc. They don't understand or appreciate it on a spiritual level.

You buys reps from asians so the message you're trying to get across is some bullshyt....practice what you preach or just shut the fukk up....simple as that....Asians are just as racist to Black people as whites are....

Cash should be first since slaves were property and could be traded as currency.

You tell me....you made your comment....so ride with it....Would it somehow make a difference if I bought authentic shoes from Nike?
I am riding with my comment. My comment is that Black people largely don't produce anything.
That is a fact.
Whether we're spending money with Asians or whites, the money is still exiting the community.
This. Everyone has different needs.
