the term "Old Money" SPECIFICALLY applies to your money being >4-5 generations old. 4-5 generations ago blacks were slaves and the Old Money comes from cotton, tobacco, oil, steel....
all the things Sambo and his %%!+ pals could not be a part of.
so yes its about race. this whole thing is about race cause Blacks are the only people we really talking about.
lol your definition of old money. LMAO.
its not old money when you earned the $%!! yourself stupid.
and who is anybody to judge on how others spend their money?
wealth is subjective. how can you determine someones worth based upon what they drive or wear?
half of these old money dudes live off credit and have no liquid cash.
if your dream is to be a stuffy old man driving a 1994 jaguar xj8, living in a whatever home, living a whatever life then do you.
lol political fundrasers... lol.. for who McCain?
you in in LA Polo?

Damn you got me.
i aint even tryin to get at you like that tho so dont take it as a +$#@@ mad. i really dont care. my life of excess is swell.
but to judge people based upon superficial is ludicrous.
spending all your money on prostitutes and cocaine is = to Rims and chains the such.
too many perceptions are based around the notion that Blacks are irresponsible with money and that anything they purchase is foolhardy and unnecessary just off of visuals alone.
dont let a S550 pull up to an apt building and have a black man hop out not wearing a suit.
He lives there with his momma, dont know nothing, living outside of his means etc etc etc.
its all underhanded racism at the end of the day.
but let a white guy pulls up to a hotel in his S550... its cause he has a business meeting.
not cause he's doing lines of crystal meth off a gay prostitutes back while he gets his booty blasted bareback.
the problem here is that everyone is so caught up in this cycle of school - work- consume-die, that they fail to live a meaningful life.
like ninjahood said "moms saves every penny" (no offense to moms) but why?
why live like you did in the DR?
what makes being in america worth it if you cant even enjoy the fruits of your labor?
its like being a farmer and freezing all of your crops after every harvest, then dying never knowing how the food tasted.

which is what separates Kings from Commoners.
also larrydavid... i was gonna say what i was gonna say no matter what. you just happened to have uoted him on a later page.
I never once said anything about blacks and how they spend there money. Not one time. I talked about old money v. new money.
New money is flashy because they never had anything, no matter what color you are. Hell If i won the lotta right now you better believe I'm going car shoppin and clothes shoppin and all the good stuff.
What I said was old money doesn't necessarily flaunt their wealth like many others in here have said. You came back at me sayin old money spends there money on stupid +%$@ and that I don't see the big picture. But to tell you the truth I do see it, and thats not what is considered old money. Old money people are frugul as all hell. That's all I said. never made it a racial issue, NOT ONE TIME. I did however say certain ethnicities hustle hard as hell to start businesses and some of them do some shady things to get those businesses off the ground, but that's not just ethnicities thats all businessmen.
Now you guys are the one who turned in it a racial issue. You said african americans cant be old money cause they were slaves generations ago. Technically you're right they don't have robber barron, steel, tobacco money, bootleg liqour money.
But you lyin' to yourself if you don't there is a black "elite" out there where people have inherited money over the last few decades. I came back with an example and you got at me cause it ain't "old enough."
But then again
