I feel you.
I'll say that envy brings out demons in people in general. I won't say our people because that's not my experience.
I work with 75% white people so every 4 months at least one of them gets a new car, atleast every 2 years someone bought a house or is moving, someone's having a grandkid, getting married, divorced---- all these white devils do is talk shyt on each other. "I dont know how she can afford that car..." "She refinanced her house twice!!" All they do is talk about each other, and no one is safe. Personal shyt too, medical issues, marriage, divorces, spouses, kids, grandkids. It's like all these cats do is stunt on each other, or share what's going on in their lives, and turn around and talk shyt on each other.
At the office, the people I associate with most (black) and outside, don't talk like that. When I got my new-to-me SUV, they were like "that's nice" "dope" "it's clean" not ".....you see how many miles is on it though
"
Them cacs are cut throat. Don't get me wrong I know black folks and anyone can be like that. I just don't buy into any notion that were are worse or do it more than others.
I didn't even get around to talking about White people. They treated me the worst, on the job, and when I was naive enough to move down here to a city in the South, a little too far outside of Atlanta, that I didn't know was only 10 percent Black at the time...thanks to some older Black female real estate agent, who wasn't being totally honest, and took advantage of a brother who was on the verge of being homeless. She just told me my area was kinda rural, instead of telling me how racist it really was, eventually causing a good number of Blacks here in my subdivision, that was new at the time, too high-tail on up outta here if they could afford to. Plus these cops were extra mean towards us. They'd beat up a Black man the first chance they saw it legal, and would yell at, or scare Black teenage girls, and full grown Black women so bad, they'd be ready to pee on themselves, or break down crying. But Black people who live a little closer to the city call this area nice, just because it doesn't have the crime rate as the S.W.A.T.S. of Atlanta. Less crime don't always mean a city is nice. Like what do Black people be drinking sometimes. Anyway, the cute sexy sisters in my subdivision, who use to walk their little poodles, where gone even before Obama got elected...when Whites here really started showing their racism. And they haven't stopped since, until The Most High started to step in. And a lot if them still don't get it. H*ll, some of us still don't get it.
As far as Whites showing envy towards each other on the job, I never seen them do that too much. These weren't exactly a bunch of White people earning a doctor's, a dentist's, or a lawyer's salary however. They may have acted worst towards each other if that were the case. But I do know they acted worst when none of us were around. But I worked around some of the highest paid White government employees in IT, and there was hardly nobody on top to watch them. And they didn't have to follow laws that were there to protect Blacks, not the way you would think, unless you was ready to pay, mentally or financially, or both. Every Black person, from young to old, had to wound up getting a lawyer at one point, to keep their job, or to get off one of those bogus Performance Improvement Plans (PIP), the program that practically meant even the higher-ups were ready to sign off on your termination. And these were some of the brightness brothers. They never bothered anybody, and some of them even got along with Whites, and this still happened to them. To keep those White folks in check, they either had to know your were in contact with a good lawyer, or that you were a mason. or you had to fit some type of uncle tom clique.
But back to Black people. When it comes to us, here's something I noticed since childhood. When you move to a new neighborhood that don't have enough Blacks, and White people don't treat you too well, it's natural to want more of us to move in. And when more of us do move in, the Whites either straightened up or move out...most move out. But then you have to deal with our Black foolishness. I noticed the same thing on my IT job where they had mostly Whites, and I was one of the first few Blacks. When they did hire more Blacks in my division, the Whites would back off, but then the Blacks would act a fool. Meanwhile the Whites still called the shots, and messed you up on promotions, and acted passive aggressive. No wonder that 9-5 thing seems to be playing out.
This is why I freak out and ready to chokeslam my wife when she pulls up on somebody's driveway to make a different turn of direction.
she should know better where the blessed eucalpytus is
I always back in and never let my back wheels go past the side walk.
