Why do black people get so mad at what other black people purchase?

[You Win Perfect]

OP is a fukkin idiot (suspected racist/butter biscuit negro) but

two words

group economics

black people are last on the economic ladder because we refuse to practice group economics. as soon as rappers, athletes, whatever... get money they give it right back to white people buying gucci, versace, lambos, ferraris....etc

 

[PhonZhi]

Some of us "get it", the overwhelming majority of us don't.

The fact that this thread was made asking this question in the first place is sad.

A white, Indian, Arab or Jewish man is always standing next to these athletes and rappers in these pics and we're still asking why some of us see a problem when we're last economically and don't own shyt

Its broke nikkaz out here working minimum wage jobs bytching, complaining and pocket watching rich athletes and entertainers

You give your dollars to whites, Asians and Indians on the daily

Its nothing more than a moral shaming tactic. People do it all the time.

Google it. Black athletes/ celebrities give back to black people all the time. But it doesn’t fit your narrative so it often times goes ignored

Why i gotta google that and not the jewish centers I SEE EVERY DAMN WHERE I GO?
I live in a majority black city that has produced multiple black millionaires. A handful of which are worth hundreds of millions even. Where the community centers at?
And I'm not even talking about celebrities really, I bet half these jewish centers are funded by people none of us heard of

i feel like these rappers should have a responsibility to build up their community. i feel like rick ross is actually doing that shyt. he's creating jobs for young black men and women. you got idiots like migos who wasting money every week on chains that someone could steal in a heartbeat. they aren't trying to build generational wealth. not even for their own families

nikka you’re asking me like I know what city and state you live in

You wana know why you see Jewish centers? Jews put their money together. They don’t guilt trip and rely on rich Jewish celebrities to get shyt poppin economically.

Please show me proof that The Migos aren’t building generational wealth for their own families

And I’ll just leave this here:

i mean it's good that he launched that campaign but he wants us to donate the money. i'm not gonna hate on it though

 

[Another Man]

The juelzing going on in here to justify economic c00ning

 

[Hoodoo Child]

Honestly I can't control what other cats are doing with their money,so I could care less. Because at the end of the day,you're either Battle Tested for this upcoming climate or you're not. SIMPLE. I'm only focusing on my pocket and what I can do for the MY community. I don't expect rich Celebs to help out and I will NEVER feel sorry for a millionaire with financial advisors working around the clock.

But I'm still gonna clown a fool for dropping 100K on a fukking station wagon, and 55K on a watch,even tho most people are normal and use their phones to tell time. They could've used that money to buy farmland.

There's a legitimate concern that this glorification of consumer culture might have an adverse effect on the youth who look up to these famous people. They promote reckless spending (stupid shyt like making it rain in the club).

Plus the stories of these rappers and athletes going broke are numerous.

 

[CashmereThoughts]

Sometimes it's excessive like you can't be good with a 3k chain? Why drop 55k on a chain when you put that money towards something better.

A watch or car I understand, since those things can be collectors items

Pretty sure someone can micromanage your expenditure and tell you in what areas your spending is excessive. "did you really need to buy that $5 coffee, you shoulda made your own"
