This gets overlooked all the time.
also why I fuck with certain people. At the end of the day...the poor in the US are still doing better than billions of people across the planet.
niggas complaining about first world issues without considering billions would love to be where they at.
They get it, They just never had to do what has been stated or recommended any of the outs that's been listed. Mental weakness.
You can apply for two jobs to gain more income. You can forgo getting those J's or that Iphone.
Invest $100 in a drop shipping storeOk so I've not bought the ps4 which I only have the money to buy because I saved for the whole year. What do I do with the 400 dollars I saved to stop me from bein' poor
Yea I fixed it all myself. Let stuff fall off, got a secured card, built it to a regular credit line, then open 2 more accounts and started using responsibly. 2 years went from 500s to low 700sThis is kinda random but important.
niggas can fix they own credit or get medical shit removed off
When have I ever said no to want better?This is the worst take ever. Poor people in the us can still complain. Just because we live in the west and the west has exploited all these places(slavery and colonialism) when we literally got the same oppressor. You saying people in the first world can’t want better because somebody else got it worse? That’s not stupid to you?
You can make nice bread selling trade lines too.Yea I fixed it all myself. Let stuff fall off, got a secured card, built it to a regular credit line, then open 2 more accounts and started using responsibly. 2 years went from 500s to low 700s
nah i use to shame Black people who were seemingly "poor" but blew cash on clothes and shoes
but i get it now. theyre just afraid of appearing poor. america is not a place to be poor. to be poor in america is a frightening thing. its violence, some type of character flaw, or low morality and ethics. you are something to be tolerated. someones learning moment of what NOT to be, when in actuality poverty is just simply a lack of money and the desire for riches in "poor" Black people is perhaps the equivalent of buying one’s freedom—tht is to say, in an attempt to buy one’s humanness. not to mention some of us just like nice things which im learning is perfectly ok
poor Black people can have standards, have taste especially considering the amount of aggressive advertisement we all r surronded by (billboards, commercials, cultural norms/expectations)
but how terrible is it to live in a society where your worth is hinged on your wealth and or productivity ? one of the largest problems we face as a culture is how poorly we determine someone's value.
i just hope youre never so broke that all you have is money.
I sgreeI still think it's stupid to blow money on frivolous shit when you don't have money. That said when you're constantly bombarded by messaging that you ain't shit unless you got certain things, it's not surprising people feel they have to indulge.

I sgree
but I’m the flip side.....why is it so hard to try to use messaging to get people to believe they can as opposed to not being shit?
Folks don’t want to admit but our music plays a huge role in that.
Remember rap is the most influential music out there.
When have I ever said no to want better?
How you give me shit when saying we should want better but then you here saying I’m saying people shouldn’t want better?
man you confuse yourself.
ExactlyBecause excelling can be hard. If you don't have some talent or marketable skill and you start off behind the 8ball, it can be hard to see an avenue for success. Plus people are also conditioned to see past less glamorous but reasonable jobs. For instance, if you learn plumbing, electrical work, or HVAC, you're going to be able to get a good job pretty much anywhere you go. However, you don't hear anyone bragging about plumbing in rap songs so it's not on people's radars.
100% agree, but I refrained on going down that path. lol

As someone whose done it multiple times yeah I have. Yall ain't throwing out solutions people are unaware of or haven't tried before.
Ain’t you like 21? Mr fake acct
I don’t give you shit for saying we should want better. It’s the way and the how and many people on this board have said the same. But anyway you bring up that other people have it worse whenever Americans here complain about conditions. It seems like you’re saying we should be lucky we got so good. Explain that
I didn't ask you if you've worked 2 jobs or not.
Can people work 2 jobs to make more money? If people are aware of these things, that means that they can improve their life correct?
