Yup, I was in college in the very late 90s and early 2000s, I can attest to that. With the exception of some HBCUs, there was never really any clear separation of classes between blacks. The wealthiest, and the middle class blacks had a tendency to do their best to fit in with the poorest blacks--not the other way around. They attended their parties, dressed like them, talked like them, were are the forefront of their causes etc etc...they were pretty much indistinguishable on campus.

With poor whites and wealthy whites it was completely the opposite. The poorest ones did their best to emulate and "fit in" with the wealthiest and middle class ones. They were often indistinguishable as well

Pretty much

This thread is and wonder why dudes always want to rehash something that damn near everybody does in their own way. I guess its only cool when a person is attacking not on the defense.

Hell
Yall keep bringing up whites but whites still have white skin so slot of that point is mute, even the most poor white man still has the skin color for protection and he knows if he can't fit into it with his upper level peers he csn fit in with blacks.

Lower income blacks are completely isolated from society no one wants to associate with them on any level. Also why bring up how we dress?

That's completely moot because society makes low income blacks cooonasnterms of culture and style but you only socialize there, you don't live there. Like the football player who's a millionaire who kicks it with the fellows on the field when he goes home his white wife ain't having none of that.

"Educated/Higher class" people of every race look down on those of their race that are not...

Since I became a director level manager at my job the amount of White on white sonning I have seen has been :scust:

It's crazy to me that the white power structure is built off the backs of poor white people that rich white people will treat just like any other random minority...

At my job I saw some rich white managers straight tell this other low level white manager "Wait you thought you could a direct op:dwillhuh: Thomas...you...you went to community college:dwillhuh:...you could never...NEVER...rise any higher than what you are:dwillhuh:"

shyt was :scust:... i could hear the audience in the back ground going 'aaaaaahhhhhhh:mjcry:"

Another let's magnify an issue like its a "black" problem:snoop:
We gone act like cacs and every other race dont do the same:usure:
these people are a bunch of idiots. I swear to god.

Rich people looking down on poor people, no fukking way. This new revelation!!!!

But "we do it more than other" no, no we don't, we are actually the only ones who think being poor is being a real nikka. and is highlighted as being cool, where rich people actually try to act like the poor ones.

"we do it more" maaaan :what: You got football millionaires throwing up gang signs.

Ageism is a bigger problem in the black community. Elders look down on the youth and dont mentor them.

This is not about a behavior, it's about a mentality. Most those who dislike the behavior simply dislikes it because they still harbor a self conscious insecurity where they think the bad behavior of those in the hood makes them look bad. The point still stands.

What I don't like is those acting as if the other elements that cause negative behavior or criminal activity just don't exist and because some chose to ignore and take the high road that means those who fell victim to the temptation are not still victims themselves of those circumstances which in turn let's those who bring in the guns the drugs fail in education etc off the hook for their failures and wrongs being done to those in poverty. You act as if profiling don't exist, as if the drug business is not a trillion dollar business, as if the occupancy in privatized prisons needing to be at 95% capacity just don't exist, as if people really don't invest in the criminalizing of blacks who in the so called hood. That mentality is as huge a problem as those more wealthy blacks looking down on the perception of a hoof as if it makes them look bad personally. They have no integrity or empathy to look down on those people.

Most recognize you can become a victim of the system but they also recognize that many folks are beyond saving. Lotta folks are a lost cause.. you cant save everybody. This system is designed to keep you down. What you dont see and recognize is the struggle and effort it took a lot of wealthy blacks to even get in that position as well as stay there. They know what it takes... and because of that they know when trying to help some folks will be a waste of thier time.

If you want people to help, you need to put yourself in a position to be helped. All of my major job promotions and breaks came from blacks in high level or executive positions. But a big part was that i had the skills and education required so they could go to bat for me. They cant really help you if your lacking the basics like reading and writing proper english, being able to pass drug test, decent gpa, clear criminal record etc...

Because 1 black person represents all black people.

Wtf is a "hood black"?

Coming from poverty doesnt mean you are ignorant and lazy.

Any adult who chooses to be ignorant and lazy is a non factor and time should not be wasted on them. Doesnt matter what their socioeconomic background is. Only people we should be working to save ks the children before they become lost causes and this is done by creating infrastructure to give them the opportunity to compete and decide their own destiny.
I don't see why this is so hard to comprehend for these losers.

It's literally the lack of resources. You provide adequate resources and people not leaving their neighborhoods to live with cacs and instead setting up shop where you grew up we would see some changes. Every group has lazy folks. The difference with us is that we don't have the resources to compete so our best ditch the masses and add their talent to the group with the most resources instead of building up their groups resources. Which continues the cycle. The impact certain infrastructure has on kids growing up is night and fukking day.
