I think its more, “we don’t want to”, than anything else. A lot of this stuff is pre mid term rage bait to piss white folks off so they’ll vote against us.

Nah, it's more we don't have equal access to therefore we don't even KNOW that we could IF we wanted to.

It isn't actually a conscious choice to avoid because we don't desire to.

Never thought I’d see the day that JR smith of all people talked about individualism and the Euro centric mindset

Seeing cats like JR Smith mature is dope to see

I agree with JR and you LITERALLY can do all of it though….

You can build gyms, still wear nice clothes AND throw a few thousand in the club. Throwing money ain’t my cup of tea but I definitely understand a young man being into that.

You can feed the homeless, build rec centers, etc, splurge on personal goods every now and again, as well as enjoy the gentlemens club.

I guess it’s about having foresight

These specialized schools ultimately comes down to who has parents that can afford to pay for private tutoring outside of regular school

JR just throwing in "eurocentric" to sound smart

Black folk just slaves to consumerism. Shh always been goofy to me. Basically just wealth transfer from our pockets to other pockets. Why do you think LVMH and all these brands decided to all of a sudden make the creative director role a black role. Same with Diddy and Ciroc. Jordan gets 5% of Jordan sales

We don't own the means of production. We just consume and the people who produce have all the power

I really want these Black “chefs” to actually learn how to cook and not just throw a boatload of salt on everything and sell Hennessy wings at exorbitant prices. We’re really losing recipes out here.

I’m talking to you DC, Atlanta, Houston.

Salt isn’t bad for you. That’s always been a myth. Every great civilization looked for salt deposits for a reason.

Show salt some love

… again. ADULTS created this. People pick and choose what they want kids to be exposed too. This issue was created by millennial and Gen Z parents. It’s not on the children

Had the X-games on after the WNBA and didn't know he changed his name

Selema "Sal" Masekela reclaimed his given birth name to honor his cultural identity, having originally shortened it to "Sal" early in his career because television executives and managers felt his real name was too difficult to pronounce or "digestible" for mainstream audiences.
