Black Country Clubs

Bobjones said:
I can't agree with the "black ppl should know better than to drive a financial wedge between eachother" thing ppl been arguing. Not in that I'm defending country clubs, just that it goes with the territory of class divisions.

Different classes have their particular social and work circles. Same deal as gated communities. You might reach a point where you're so called "made" and u now have the means to roll that way accordingly.

It's elitist, but wealth is inherently elitist. Ideally, these upper class country club dwellers wouldn't leave behind their more humble brethren for an exclusively elitist existence. But it often doesn't work out that way.

I'm not some uber-capitalist (extremely socialist in fact) I just see these things as unfortunate, often unavoidable underpinnings of the system.

No, just that it might be liable to happen.
There are loads of well off people who retain their sense of respect and duty to their fellow ppl regardless of class, race, or whatever else. I just wish it happened more often.

Although this question wasn't directed to me, There comes a point when you have to leave people behind. Somebody that doesn't want to work, doesn't want to go to school and is content hanging out like a scavenger trying to be the middleman in drug deals.

By the time you reach your 30s or 40s it becomes very difficult to find work if you don't have a college degree. People who went to college and have professional jobs have nothing in common with a high school drop out that hangs out on the corner trying to be the middleman of a drug deal that doesn't have the money nor the drugs to make the deal himself.

That was me when I was in my 30s. I literally couldn't find a job that paid more than $10 per hour. And when I did find a job like that it was always a White boss telling me what to do, which is unbearable. So I stopped working and lived in my parents basement for a while before I got my head out of my ass and went back to college and got a degree. Now I have more options but I'm still unemployed. When this Covid is over I'm going to make a more sincere effort to find work.


But yeah, I live in Trenton and I see a lot of people my age just hanging out on the corner and they don't appear to be doing anything. I tell the younger cats to go to college (there's a community college 50 feet away from downtown where people my age stand around doing nothing).

It's really black and white. You have to finish high school, and then you have three realistic choices;

1. Join the military
2. Join a union
3. Go to college


Otherwise you'll be working a low paying job making $10-$15 per hour, which isn't that bad when you're 19/20 years old. But by the time you reach your 30s those same jobs seem menial.


Going back to the topic of this thread. After you've gone to college and you've been in the workforce for 10-15 years you have absolutely nothing in common with the lower class that are uneducated, don't work, don't drive, don't have their own apartment, etc.


It's not disdain for the lower class, I'm sure 90% of wealthy blacks would donate to a college scholarship program, or some not-for-profit organization designed to help poor black people, as long as it makes sense.
