Homey wrote that smartdumb shyt like the stats on who exactly Hispanics are in this country aren’t widely available.
SoFlo = cuban
Central = rican
Mexicans have a land border and high population country...they can flood anywhere along with guats and salvis.
35-40% of Mexicans claim white.

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.

That’s sad. I’m contrast, when I move I immediately link up with Igbos. I’m working for one of them now.

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.

Of course we're all humans and deserve to treat ourselves sometimes. But something I want to say is that in NYC, dirt poor Chinese and Bengladeshi people live in the same neighborhoods as Mexicans, yet their kids still do well in school. I do NOT mean to suck off Asians here, my point is more so that Mexicans can succeed too if they place more emphasis on education. I'm not even saying they have to be like Asian tiger kids who devote all of their free time to school, but dropping out of high school or making no effort to pursue higher education should not be a thing.

bubutbut group economics.
Lingual barrier, perception, cheap labor, and "extra incentives x semi-sponsored illegal acts" can't be matched by bullshyt "go get em, tigerrrrrr" :damn: "WORK HARDER, WORK FASTER, YOU CAN OUT HUSTLE THE EARRRRTH" :damn:black idiots that usually end up being exposed as pawns for white capital, or scammers who are only pro black for money.
Being an opportunist is good. Thinking everybody else methods can be applied to us is fukking stupid.
We are not quadruple stimulus booster-beggar (still scamming: kiryas yoel) jews.
We are not mercantile worldwide nigerians.
We are not soldier-built mini fridge economic blitzkrieg mexicac hybrids, either.
We are born citizens who are owed much more than, but given far less than 2/3 groups we foolishly helped bring here with good spirit and intentions.
"I came here with nothing" plane tickets ain't cheap and neither is a "coyote"

Lived in San Antonio, most positive stereotypes about mexicans are lies.
Maybe recently arrived ones, and even they have :sitdown: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 :mjlol: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.

Really, what is with Mexicans and Jordans? It can't even be the whole "they live around black people" thing because they also buy a lot of Jordans in places like San Antonio that don't have many black people.

Mexicans are the hardest working people I’ve ever been around. They always have a hustle, oftentimes multiple hustles and their women appreciate men who work blue collar jobs, will rarely catch a Mexican women getting pregnant by someone who refuses to work.

They also have strong family values, practice group economics and they own most of the businesses in their communities.

exactly.. i see it a lot around here... they also look out for each other on a bigger scale and combined their resources with each other more than we do...

I’d agree with that. If the Mexican-American community has blind spots it’s on education and what they do with their women. But those blind spots come with such positives on the flip (strong dedication to trades / work that is high ROI in terms of learning costs to dollar made, and strong, unambiguous family units) that it’s a net positive.

Don't many Chicanos waste money on expensive sneakers and clothes though? Jordans start at like 190 dollars and many Mexican-Americans wear them
When you're 20 deep in a 2bedroom you can do that.
Idiots recommend this lifestyle for born US citizens, "maybe we learn something"
:gtfo:
All high performing immigrant groups outside of asians fall off after a generation, btw.
This nikka said "jamaicans" in the corporate world lolllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

Black people in America have no future here. We are living under systemic oppression. The biggest problem is black people have no endgame in America and this is problematic. At some point this Batman and Joker relationship black and white people has to end. White people will never change.
