I don't think materialism is the WOAT for the community either, it's the thread title and people have a habit of entering threads centered around Black people and saying that "other groups of people do it too."

Others groups do everything and I only mention it when people seem to say we do things at some bigger clip than other groups when that shyt ain't true. That's the only time I mention other groups

Haha correct but i don't have my degree yet i still have 2 years, the keyword was "will be graduating". Currently I have no income for expensive/stylish clothes as most of my money goes to rent and food so due to that I just wear whatever. Now if i graduated and had a job and was still using the "nerdy clothes" excuse then what you said would be valid as I would have the income to be able to dress a little better but right now I just have to dress within my budget
. No harm done tho lolphilmonroe

My point was you can be in school and not have "nerdy" clothing and style. Its not mutually exclusive and a copout IMO. Also if that's what you getting told by chicks your shyt must be really done and or they letting you know early they ain't fukking with you like that.

I did read through the post which is why i brought attention to what others have already said sir. Forgive me for not pointing out that others said something similiar however, i was honestly asking what else is the problem?
I see it as a priority issue and misguided values but was also interested in what others think the deeper issues are.

Eventually black people are gonna have to seriously deal with this. We collectively give away over a trillion dollars to other races who we know for a fact don't give two fukks about us and we seem OK with it.

We don't even need to cripple their infrastructure, we just need to strengthen our own.
