AA purchases Chrystler 300 with custom rims : gaudy display of hood thuggery
White female spends $250 on spa treatment : totally normal. Girl needs to be pampered.
AA woman spends $150 on hair and nails for her and her friends : Typical blacks being black wasting money on dumb garbage
Asian american buys $2400 Apple computer to replace his less than 1 year old current apple computer : all good.
AA person buys $200 iPhone on ATT contract : negroes spending cash on flashy items as usual.

That is because blacks are sterotypically are not viewed has having money or managing it well, thanks to the media portrayal of the typical welfare queen as being a black woman with three or four kids in tow driving a caddy with her hair and nails done on food stamps

Have ever thought that this is because of generations of blacks were taught either to save or to spend and never to invest? Many blacks are never educated on how to manage their money and therefore mimic people on shows that feature multimillion dollar homes whenever they get money regardless if they have a practical use for it or not. There are some whites as well as others ethnic groups that fall into this trap as well.

Religion, especially (some) forms of Christianity that discourages obtaining wealth. I'm sure many of you have heard the proverb regarding the wealthy man and the eye of the needle. Another thing is that many believe that they will get their wealth after death as oppose to will they are alive. Judaism and Islam do not have such restriction and are encouraged to obtain wealth while they are living. The majority of blacks also by no coindence tend to follow some sort of Christianity.

A fairly recent study concluded that the consumer spending of Black people in America would rank as being equal to the consumer spending of the 16th largest country in the world.
With so much money flowing through black hands can someone explain to me why black poverty is such a problem?

It's insane. First you have people posting articles like this (blacks can't control their spending) yet someone else will make a thread about how blacks caused the economic crisis by trying to buy houses they couldn't afford, how blacks abuse welfare and make up the majority of welfare consumers (which is false), how 1/3 of black males are incarcerated with 1/5 blacks holding college degrees. How can 42 million blacks (13.6% of the population) cause all this pandaemonium and chaos, being on the lowest end of income and wealth measures yet singlehandedly drive micro-economies and afford all this expensive stuff?

No one knows what's going on it's just easier to pontificate about 'those darn blacks' so _______ (ethnic group of choice) doesn't have to face their own reality about their people's/personal ills.

I watched the republican primaries very closely and these are some of the things that were insinuated. It is easy to believe if you watch certian types of programs all of the time that deplict what I was saying, but I do agree with you.

You forgot the spinning rims, the latest iPhone in each of her kids' hands, and a trunk full of lobster tail and filet mignon, and parked in the handicap spot. Should we throw in the gold chains? I'm not sure if it still fits the stereotype.

Do they? I guess whites and other groups are not covered by the government. You really should join civilization more often.

Where do we see whites jumping for joy screaming about their new obamaphone?

Where do you see whites, tears running down their faces praising obama saying they no longer have to worry about food, phones housing and medical because of their savior?

Do whites harass and destroy white businesses like blacks do in their community?

-NO-

No I see them waiting in line for their new iphones that they don't need

It is not hard to find the ignorant few if you look for them, but looking for white teens to act that way is hard considering they (the majority of them) already have the above mentioned items at their disposal.

Do whites harass and destroy white businesses like blacks do in their community?

No they have the power to destroy COUNTRIES and kill millions of innocent people, not to mention steeal their resources.

-NO-

Have whites gone through centuries of oppression in this country because of racism by blacks? Have whites been held back to the point that laws had to be made in order to get some sort of equality? whites have had a 200 year head start as far as obtaining wealth. The majority of black schools for decades have been so underfunded to the point that teaching kids how to manage money was not even considered in the teaching plans.
