aight... i know i might get flamed for this, but i gotta ask... let me start by saying 1. i'm black and 2. this DOES NOT apply to everyone.
we all know that in the black culture, money is flashed... we look from rappers to athletes, to even a local Kinko's asst manager, that will throw some nonsense rims on the car or cop a chain.
some chicks will fool with a fam just cuz his whip game, or his polos on deck... I know yall gonna say young, hoodrats... but this mind these young hoodrats are getting up in age w/ that same mentality.
black people tend to wear their money on the outside, with no knowledge off money in the savings account or put up for when they're unable (why so many ex athletes go broke).... nothing goes into some sort of money that will continue to grow. its part of the hip hop generation. deny it all you want, but it is what it is...
i just want to know in other cultures, how are people with money presented to the public? asians, hispanics, so on and so forth...
how are your upper-middle classes and upper classes presented to the public? how are they seen in the community's eyes?
for instance... in the black community, if you're in those classes and you didnt obtain it illegally, or on some superstar stuff, you are somewhat looked down upon for being bougie (jalen rose/grant hill thing)
i know this post might seem very ignorant, and i will understand the flame. i hope i'm explaining what i'm trying to say thoroughly enough without people thinking i'm not aware of the world around me...
