Why do people say African Americans act the way they do because they're poor, when the ones with money act the same?

Some song about having a big bootied woman….

I just UberEATS myself an expensive plate of snow crab linguine from a high end restaurant to celebrate cause I can eat solids now after having a tooth extracted.

*Ray sings: I love seafood! It’s my favorite! Lalalaaa*

I don’t get why folks don’t understand this cause, it happens everywhere:

He shoveled around the tires, he rocked the tires, and then he got some sand from the sandbox we had for the kids for traction. He got it out. WE asked him if he needed anything but he said nope, just wanted to help. My younger sister was trying to flirt with him too because he was REALLY handsome. Like Sir, how are you so nice and good looking?

I’m pretty sure whatever convoluted idea you have about Black Americans, is off the mark, cause we’re different from each other, even depending on region. Like some of the slang from Black Americans up North, or even Black Americans further down South, it confuses me.

Why can’t my wife just accept the fact that I’m going to cheat?

How do we act? I’m curious.

We are not the same. That Black man has seen things, snowy evil things….

My dad always has a ton of money. Both my parents are workaholics and have 5 rental properties now.

How did Kate Mulgrew feel about Jeri Ryan joining the cast of Star Trek: Voyager?

My dad’s big ass Ford F-150 long bed got stuck in the snow, we were struggling, I was covered in mud and absolutely miserable. However, we had a savior, a Black man from up North, Massachusetts, happened to be visiting relatives nearby and saw our sad plight.

But my dad is straight country, Black people version. It don’t matter how much money he gets, he’ll always drink him a nastyass bud light and sit outside on the hottest of days listening to the blues.

A grown folks gifting. We raid her pantries when we come over anyways.

Just because you’re of the same ethnicity, it doesn’t mean you all act exactly the same way.

I was raised in a middle/upper middle class setting as a Black American.

Also, like 17% of Black Americans live in poverty. Around 61% of us are middle class now. Our poverty rates are at a historic low. Stop acting like we’re all poor at some point. My grandpappy was so happy at my birth he put property in my name. lol.

Hello, I have a question about astral projection. I started to get interested in this a little while after my mum passed in april. I thought I may be able to see her and speak with her if I managed to achieve astral projection. Since this interest, every time i sleep on my back I go into sleep paralysis. However, I cant progress into astral projection because it is very scary for me as I feel like I'm suffocating when this happens. I panic and force myself to wake up. This only ever happened about once a year before this. It sometimes lasts a long time. This has happened about 3 times per week since my mum died, as mentioned on a previous post. I no longer try to go into it anymore(due to the suffocating feeling), but it still happens. I read that sleep paralysis is the pathway to astral projection. Why has this started to happen so frequently since simply taking an interest in it? Is this connected to the afterlife? I am concerned about it as I now cannot seem to stop this happening. Could it be my mum trying to communicate? Im asking due to more knowledge around this in this group.

My mother is a dainty, quiet lady and the only person I’ve ever known, to never curse. I have NEVER heard my mother say a curse word before. She goes to church in a militant fashion, you gravely disappoint her when you miss Bible study Tuesday or church on Sunday, she’s always there when you need a hand, and she’s addicted to QVC and HSN. There are so many unopened packages of things she forgot, that during the holidays she barely needs to shop. One year she just told us to raid her closet and I pulled out a Saint Laurent wallet, an iphone portable charger that doubles as an emergency flash light, like I can put the thing on top of my car for emergencies and you can see that a far distance away, tons of expensive perfume and lotion sets like Chanel, and some cute nail polish sets, it was quite nice.

I’m from Mississippi and it snowed and we Southerners….don’t know how to snow….
