You don't speak for low income or high income black people, so don't even try it. Class and income trumps race, if you're white. None of you are any smarter or cultured than anyone else, no matter how much education you have, because you're not original.

This post is dumb and doesn't make any sense.

There are lots of high income blacks in the DC area. Most of them want nothing to do with the low income blacks and they often avoid the low income blacks even more than white people do. Its just like how high class whites avoid low class whites.

You don't seem to know much about this topic.

I totally disagree with this statement. Many middle and high income AA's that were born and raised in DC still try very hard to engage and assist our poorer neighbors. Hell... I know plenty of people that I grew up with that would be considered low income and yet I don't try and down them or avoid them. That's just ignorant thinking and it's pretty sad.

Nope. Its not ignorant thinking at all.

Sure.. you have pockets of high income blacks that engage "the community" and try to help the poor blacks. But the majority of the high income blacks in the DC area want nothing to do with the low income blacks.

I never said 100% of high income blacks avoid the poor. I said most of them. And its true.

Nice try though.
