Report shows Hispanics are rapidly moving up the economic ladder than blacks.

[Reality]

Mexicans have a lot of cultural advantages I’ve also observed in African immigrant groups that AAs just don’t have due to reasons of history, etc.

They can practice group economics in part because they are insulated by language / culture in a way AAs aren’t.

If you want a fire ass taco / quesadilla...you can’t get it from Chad you have to get it from Jose and Maria. What’s a similar AA cuisine? Bubba and Becky Sue can make some fire ass ribs and fried chicken too sometimes.

Immigrant groups always get paid off of delivering cuisine because they have a competitive advantage there - Chinese food, Mexican food, Jamaican food: you pay to get the authentic flavors from them.

Mexican culture is also verrrrrrry traditional and there’s not a culture of shytting on poor people to the same degree as AA culture. Every culture shyts on poor people, but modern AA culture shyts on poor people to a degree that is truly headscratching all things considered - lower and middle class people actively consume music that tells them they’re not shyt if broke. The shyt makes ZERO sense considering the statistics.

There’s very little shame in Mexican culture about packing a house full of people...like 3 families with 3 breadwinners etc. provided they’re family.

You have people in borderline situations (meaning they could stretch themselves a bit financially or live beneath their means) who are culturally given the latitude to live beneath their means because there’s not as much of a disgust factor in Mexican culture.

Meanwhile, in AA culture you have people constantly living beyond their means because the disgust factor is such an issue. “Oh he’s broke as fukk”, “Oh he still lives with his fam”, “Oh he wears wranglers, hell nah.” shyt just isn’t the same in Mexican culture when a generation or two ago your fam was living in a dusty ass mud house with chickens in the back yard.

Mexicans also know trades and aren’t above working the blue collar shyt (not saying all AAs are either...but I have lots of friends and family who straight up say they won’t fukk with blue collar jobs).

It makes sense if you think about it- the cash flow situation working a blue collar job looks a lot different if you’re paying a third of the rent / utilities / car note, etc. Mexicans share ALLLLL of that shyt. I dated a Mexican girl and her family stayed using her car like it was a rental.

Also, again, because of the culture, as a black man your sex / dating / relationship prospects also look a lot different in one of those blue collar jobs than if Mexican.

Obviously there are lots of historical reasons why modern AA culture is the way it is, but at some point we have to confront it WHILE ALSO confronting the systemic issues we face. As long as we remain apologists for the culture, shyt will never change.

As I mentioned, our unique history in this country makes it such that the traditional avenues / protections that other minority groups have available (food, language, etc.) just aren’t there. When that’s the case, your culture has to be on point - which is a catch 22 because that IS the culture.

I try to think of another group in history that’s been in the same position and can’t.

There’s a new report like every other day about some shyt

 

[Cave Savage]

Not only did they dap that nonsense, but they didn't even realize that the thread title said "Hispanics"; but that they were subtly swayed by the poster that wrote the word "Mexican." As if Mexicans are a substitute for all Hispanics, because all Mexicans are Hispanic, but not all Hispanics are Mexican.

With that said it is White Cubans that have did the best in the USA, because they have been extorting this country for over 100 years. Mexicans are not doing that well at all. Many of them are living below the poverty line and are on welfare. They also have high drop out rates and high teen pregnancy rates. Those are all recipes for disaster. I have been to New Mexico and that is a very poor state.

White Cubans are a very small percentage of the US's Hispanic population. And for that matter white Hispanics. The overwhelming majority of Hispanics in the US are mestizos from Mexico/Central America/South America or mulattos from PR/DR.

Don't many Chicanos waste money on expensive sneakers and clothes though? Jordans start at like 190 dollars and many Mexican-Americans wear them

Homey wrote that smartdumb shyt like the stats on who exactly Hispanics are in this country aren’t widely available.

Yeah but it’s not systematic. THRey might splurge on some Js or something but behind the scenes they’re still divvying up the most important expenses a lot of the time. Mortgage / rent / car notes, etc.

LOL they're plenty of white Cubans plenty. Not to mention probably just as many white Puerto Ricans and those who are mostly White. Again they're just not Anglo-Saxon white American white but there still white.

 

[Scott Larock]

Hispanics do not face the same things as us

HOWEVER, a big help is that they rarely go in debt. They pull there money together. So instead of paying 3 credit cards and a care note, they put that ALL in savings and get generate wealth faster

They don't seek attention like us, having a family and culture will bring something back to you easiest than having to seek acceptance every night.

They also have no issues shacking up and saving money. Lots of two families living in 1 family homes.

 

[deeznutz93]

You're not seeing the bigger picture LOL

Bro,you have to realize is that the majority of us don't know our history in this country. Because of that we are a very ignorant group of people. In a thread like this, you can already see that a lot of our people judge black people the same way white people do.

The fact that when our people talk about our lack of progress, they reduce it to stereotypes for our lack of success. Shows that the person don't know too much.

Common sense would tell you since the most powerful country in the world has intentionally sabotaged our community for 400 years. Why wouldn't our community be disenfranchised.

Growing up the past 25 years The common theme in our community, was to make enough and leave the community. No one was encouraging the upcoming generation to take their education and find ways to repair the community.

We spent the last couple of decades collectively abandoning each (when we weren't shyting on each other). So why are people shocked that the community isn't rising, when it's never been a conscious goal in our community.

 

[Yogi]

We can't

Work together
Build together
Make money together

Or do anything in a group capacity without a black family structure in place or a semblance of one. Other groups (Mexicans, Jews, Indians) understand this.

It starts with FAMILIES that are a cohesive unit and functioning. Then after that comes community. Then the economic benefits. Always. Don't put the cart before the horse.

Black people have to start again from square one. 78% out of wedlock births and parents who live under separate roofs is not working and not going to work. If we are not getting married, atleast live with your baby momma. Learn to save money and stop giving white people so much of it.

Yes, I know, I know. The black family was directly attacked by the US government via crack cocaine, welfare state programs creating disincentives etc. The US Government has always viewed us as an active threat. Our own government!

But bottom line is. So what? We need to start moving more quietly then. Stop talking about the moves we make or intend to make and move low-key. If white people stonewall you, come up with a sneaky way around it. Simple.

Who cares about jordans, looking poor, living 5 to a room, whatever. We need to do whatever needs to be done and shutup about it.

Only then can we progress, and not only progress but THRIVE.

This is nothing but truth, but when black folks try to spread this message they get attacked by their own kind and get called a c00n or a sellout.

Truth.

I’ll also say this...as a black person it’s hard as fukk to find like-minded people to build with. Look at this thread for example.

I get it - after 400 years of shyt, of Tulsas, etc.- it can feel like trying to make it in this country is a pipe dream.

The (formal at least) rules have changed though. The system is what it is but there more room to finesse it these days. There are legal protections, etc. that make the old, more direct ways of crushing our buildings less viable. We still can’t get there the greasy, easy way white people can - they’ll still throw us in jail at the slightest hint of corruption / graft, etch (shoutouts to all my black politicians in jail who learned this the hard way), but we’re not even nailing the basics at the moment.

White cubans are mostly in FL. And Cubans aren't even the predominate immigrant group in Florida, it's Mexicans.

Yeah but it’s not systematic. THRey might splurge on some Js or something but behind the scenes they’re still divvying up the most important expenses a lot of the time. Mortgage / rent / car notes, etc.

I mean, I'm sure they're not spending literally all their money on Jordans and Foamposites, but I bet they could be putting their money to better use.

 

[Indiglow Meta (R$G)]

Lived in San Antonio, most positive stereotypes about mexicans are lies.
Maybe recently arrived ones, and even they have issues deep within that community.
Yes, they DO shyt on poor people, recently arrived mexicans, and mexicans who have recently arrived, let alone "guero" mexicans, even though they aim to "mejorar la raza" using "blanquieamiento" like every other latino group.
Oh: Rochester Ricans be in the welfare office more than black folks. Did you know: you can get a case transferred from the island and even get on mainland section 8 lotteries? Oh.
Buying ALL the jordans for the whole family? Ricans and Mexicans? Bullshyt cheaply made yet still expensive gold pieces? Mexicans.
Poorly done gold dental work?
Salvis and Guats, plus island latinos.
Some idiot @Son of Sierra Leone used a pittsburgh protest as example of latino support.
There is no latin community in western pa period.
A dummy from Philly bigging up mexicans...ain't no mexicans @AuntAnniesPretzels
those fishtown and kensington ricans are worse off than 80s crack war victim black people on Diamond and Dauphin...and you know it.
nikkas ain't shooting up dope with their auntie and uncle in Frankford, b.

The point isn’t about putting every dollar to the best use - you still have to be a person.

The point is how many dollars are going to best use vs. not. In the grand scheme of things, spending $100 more than you should on some Js isn’t a big deal if you’re spending $300-$500 less than you would EVERY MONTH because of how the most important: big ticket expenses are being set up.
