Of course they would be.... The government covers their wants and needs 100%

No surprise here....
You really didn't need to highlight your racism.

Thinking back when I worked I guess all the black people on the train all dressed up and well groomed weren't going to work but heading to the welfare office? Dressed to impress their caseworker???

I'd be more impressed with the percentages if blacks who own stocks than a consumption stat.

Blacks will always be behind because they never got a head start.

When people start these threads, do they actually think there will be constructive debate?

I suppose many black people buy those sports items because their idols are mostly blacks.
Most people on the planet don't want to be poor or at least not be considered poor. Especially in the latter case they tend to buy things that send out the message, I am not poor. That happens in Africa or Brazil as well.
Some people indeed care more about their appearance than others, the reasons for that are complex, but I don't think they have to do with race.
Even in Europe people have different behavior. In Portugal people spend a lot on everything regarding looks and appearance, it's just a different way of life compared to, say, Scandinavia. People in some placed plan decades ahead while in other places they live for the moment.

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-

AAs and white people are equal in what is spent annually on beauty products. Each contributes about $10 billion a year.

White consumers have the lock on cosmetic surgery - invasive and non-evasive, enhancements, liposuction, facelifts, chin lifts, botox, collagen, implants (breast, cheek, arse), hair plugs. All those self-improvement remedies that some can't seem to get enough of and adds up to about $10 billion a year. Oh, yeah, and let me add hair extensions!!

Err, don't you mean "get a life"?? He is so full of hatred for anyone that doesn't fit what he considers to be acceptable regardless of race, religion, politics, lifestyle. Yeah, I think getting a life would be a good start.

Is this a joke post? Now blacks are the only ones who buy sports gear because they idolize black athletes? Wow. I didn't think they could hold up the entire sports apparel industry but that's impressive. Where do whites get their Yankees & Cowboy threads from? Robbie the crack head?
