I can't stand ignorance...

No, but some of them sold crack to members of their "own" communities...a lot of people turn a blind eye to this, and in fact EMBRACEhow crack sales (no matter WHO it was hurting) helped their "rise" and put them in a different tax bracket.

They're wealthy and don't need anyone's help so they are not as humble.

I just think in a professional or corporate environment most races are used to seeing african americans very humble and grateful so it's a learned response to percieve them as so.
But when you have someone wealthy that doesn't have to kiss *## for anything
your psyche is in revolution to that phenomenon and percieve them as racist...when really your mind is just trained to see them "in their place".

I wear shirt and tie to work everyday except Fridays when I look like a typical hypebeast,
lets just say on Friday's when I ask can I help you I'm greeted with "Umm do you work here?"
then when it's acknowledge that I run the office the *## kissing commences but the initial response
was very ambivalent.

their feelings are that they are better and that does make them racist...cuz their not like "those people"

No I feel that they don't "think" anything...and economically they are "better"
Like I said your mind is just trained to see them economically deprived and less socially functional is high society
so you feel they're being "Uppity" when in all honesty they have all rights to be.
You know as well as I know high society can be unforgiving...the kids in the swim club at my school are very "vocal"
when minorites aren't around and they even have "black friends"....I'm simply saying that wealthy African Americans don't
have to kiss %+$ for a place at the table, they can buy it. I can shamefully admit alot of people feel some type of way seeing
an African American not needing anything from anyone...because social class has been gauged by how bad blacks are doing
for decades..it's like unwritten law if an African Americans can afford it then you're poor...Sad but true.

White N's ain't even got this (c) Mitch - Paid in Full

Economically they are better off but that doesn't make them better people which is what they think. I'm sure you're speaking in general terms butI'm not trained to see black people are deprived or whatever. People in my family have money. Its not old money but they are living great.

I don't think you were getting my point...all I was saying is that while they are not buffons, I am not going to respect them as being an "upperclass" african american for the reason they did a lot of damage to their own people. Glorifying crack sales, getting people strung out, etc....

The people in this book are black wasps...give them that. Sadly, when I summer in cape cod j don't see too many I them around.

Back to the diausssion, I can't wait till Im older and I can break bread and rub elbows with these people

People saying only black people do this, trust me its not true...im a light skin indian dude and trust me when i went to india i noticed how light skinnedpeople with more european features got treated much better...you can just look at the economic situation there too, almost 100% of the population sufferingfrom poverty is dark skinned

this statement is true. what race do you know hates on different shades?

.what part of the game is that?



Seriously?

This light skin vs. dark skin mentality is prevalent in so many cultures.



You can thank the WASPs of the last 400 years for that! It is as mcuh a part of our society as baseball, apple pie, and McDonald's

Are you serious?? Like Lurkin said, uppity black people can be the worst sometimes. There is nothing worse than an individual that makes it andlooks down on those that are still struggling and trying to make it. I've met alot of black people like that in my lifetime. Always trying to betterthemselves while looking down on people. I'm not generalizing all black people with money because I know alot of real and genuine black people with money.However, some people just let the money change them for the absolute worst.

For one to understand the present he must understand the past. It isn't fully illogical for a man thats very existence in this country is based upon hisancestors rape, oppression and

torture to look at the current situation he lives in of depression, poverty and a general feeling of lack of oppurtunity to believe maybe the same people thatwould rape my girlfriend

300 yrs. ago right in front of me hang her upside down and split her belly open while she is pregnant and let the baby fall out don't have a system set upfor me to fully reach my

potential. Furthermore people do not fully appreciate nor understand the importance of genetics nor genetic memory or the subliminal messages we are constantlyslapped with

everyday. Fully appreciate the chaotic existence of the "regular" blackman today. In America this statement rings true for every race but really i**** hard for us. We are constantly hit

with messages of if you aren't able to acquire material objects you aren't a "hustler" a "boss" if you aren't a ball player,musician or entertainer that model that you lust over wouldn't

even sneeze in your direction. So at some point the "brain washed" ignorant some would say blackman says man working at Fed Ex ain't gonna get methat Benz or that Bentley.

Man I'M not tryna be a docter how am I gonna be in school till I'm 30 I hate school plus I can't afford that. Slavery would be illogical in todaysfree world if it was as brutal and bloody

today. The world is to complex today, technology and science have evolved ten fold. Why do I need to physically beat you when I can mentally slay you to thevery point that you feel

the very signifigance of your existence is based upon buying my product. Now do I believe there is a point in laying down and quitting in life no. In reality Ilove being from a culture

that has been but through hell and is complex enough to survive and adapt to any situation. The struggle for us isn't about a 'hood mentality" a"uppity" mentality or a rags to riches

life. The struggle is about identifying the fact that whatever situation you are in it is correctable and for that pain or suffering to be alleviated one mostlove thyself and GOD first our

experience on earth as black people is the best because I believe all people are experiencing this reality to overcome fear and truely understand what love andbliss is. Neither of

which is attainable through any material object.

Dapimp you're describing me deeply

 

[NotoriousLEEdope]

You can't seriously blame rap music for the damage done to our people. Part of the reason rap exists is because of the artists who were effect by theproblems in the black community today. Fatherless children, high crime rates, the crack epidemic...those existed way before Hov decided to put pen to paper.Rap ain't the cause of all this BS going on. Neglect by our government is the main reason all this even got started...

 

[gordon gekko 979]

^ easier to point the finger at other people then to look at our own mistakes....

 

[gordon gekko 979]

And ocks that was the largest piece of garbage I've ever seen

 

[stylishstef89]

Black people have to accept some level of responsibility for their troubles as well...don't get me wrong. But neglect by the government is the mainfacilitator of a lot of the problems faced today in inner city communities.

 

[gordon gekko 979]

What are you going to do about it? Realistically there's nothing anyone on this board can do...

 

[methedy24]

- Black Upper Class:

-> In my mind, this is an issue of education (advanced degree attainment) as much as wealth

->Education (particularly advanced degrees are as important as money)

->In legitimately upper class (not upper-middle) black circles, your education matters as much/if not more, than your perceived/familialhistorically documented contribution to charity status/overall financial status......that's what makes YOU as an individual relevant, beyond the scope ofyour family.


- That is why, for the most part, entertainers are not particularly respected amongst the true elite. Their wealth is acknowledged, respected, but their lackof formal education is admonished. Soon as you open your mouth......

Neglect by the Gov't of the inner city?

Why should a people be dependent on a Gov't? The Gov't isn't the facilitator, it never was. It's the people who claim to are/want to"help" black Americans that are the problem.

 

[gordon gekko 979]

Methedy you get the picture. Getting a degree from an ivy ftw! Then wiring a white girl for the extreme win

 

[stylishstef89]

People on this board can help somewhat. But the people themselves can only help so much...after a while you need the higher ups to realize what's goingon in this country.

Part of the problem is the fact that we think we can't do anything about it. We can. But it's definately not easy.

 

[gordon gekko 979]

Stylish how do u suspect Obama will play inall this? Will h fix this? I mean he is the president, he has the authroity to do so
