The disappearing black middle class ( Cosbyites DUCK! )

[tuckdog]

What the fuck is Cosbyite? Should I be ducking? Let me know nigga!

 

[Mr. Met]

What the fuck is Cosbyite?

The middle class stuck ups who jumped on the moral bandwagon with Cosby who felt they were better than they're lower class counterparts.

Now many of them are about to join them.

I did not grow up middle class, far from it actually. However, watching the example of what could be demonstrated by Dr. Cosby on the Cosby Show played a big part in me wanting and eventually providing a better life for myself and my family. I don't think that's a bad thing.

 

[Originalman23]

Are you fucking kidding me? That couldn't be correct. I know many, many African Americans who live good lives.

Where the fuck are they getting these numbers? 2,170 net worth in 2009 for Blacks? GTFOH

I will agree that I know it's lower than white households, but no damn way THAT low.

Sista what they do is take your total savings, stocks, bonds 401K and subtract that from your debt. So you could have 100K in the bank but then have a house loan that is 95K. Now your net worth is 5K. Now this is deceiving because you could let your house go into forclosure and keep your 100K in the bank.

I personally know black folks who have bad credit and have large sums of money in the bank and only pay with cash. Now they have debt but haven't paid off their credit cards and have no reason too. I know right now a brotha that decided instead of paying off 30K in credit cards took 30K of his money he saved and bought 2 houses cash in Chicago. Now he has fixed those houses up and is renting them out at 3K a month. Now the current value of those houses are about 80K a piece in the market. But as the market returns he will get probably 200K for each house. Then even with bad credit in the future his net worth will be over 300K.

Thats how you beat the system sista even in a bad economy.

It isn't, but blaming poor black folk while sticking your chest out cuz you have a degree and a job doesn't help things.

This article shows your degree don't mean shit without common knowledge.

Ironically, Cosby spoke on this very subject in 'Come On People' but I guess bashing black men and black folk in general was a more pressing issue.

 

[big pimp]

i believe you were the sake clown that called my remarks towards black unemployment "apathetic and lacking remorse".

While bush was in office cutting interests rates to enable assholes in our community to take out loans to buy shit they had no business buying no one said shit. For years economists warned us what would happen. America didn't listen, and especially blacks. I witnessed first hand niggas spending out if control, emptying out their 401ks to buy shitty houses. Niggas like them were the norm. Now niggas like them have no jobs and are shit out of luck.

But i'm suppose to feel sorry for them?

our generation was warned from childhood on that the crakkka was the enemy. We were told repeatedly that we needed to work together and run our own businesses. Did you listen? No. Now look at you. Begging the crakkka for jobs, for table scraps. All because niggas were lazy and self hating.

Am i suppose to feel sorry for them? Fuck no. They are getting what they deserve. Do i want to have anything to do with a lazy nigga who lacks foresight and motivation? Fuck no.

that's why right now it's every black man for himself. The only 2 paths awaiting jobless under-achieving niggas is jail or death. When the dust settles, those of us blacks who survived this era will learn from those mistakes and finally start pooling resources and becoming economically independent.

I must have missed this. When did he blame poor black folk for anything?

Education is not a bad thing no matter what that article says. The thing that needs to be discussed is what to do with the money you get from the career you have thanks to your education. That's where the problem lays with most educated black folk.

What they don't tell kids is that a degree doesn't mean shit without connections. Also all eduacted folks need to learn a trade. Whether that be getting a CDL, learning how to cut or do hair, learning how to work on cars something. Always something to fall back on if crackas ever lay you off or ship your job overseas. Also I would encourage folks to try to go overseas and work when the economy gets better. Thats a perfect time to get paid double or even triple what they make here in the states and actually get paid tax free if they don't stay in the states for more then about 32 or 33 days in a given year. A person who manages their money right could stay over their for 3 years and have well over 200K in the bank.

We are the only people that get shit for doing good and not helping fuck ups. Not helping fuck ups equals hating poor people. Pointing out how people have fucked themselves over.......hating poor people.

Why is it when one of us does good somebody always hits you up with the "oh you think you too good now?" type shit and we fall for it.

This is one reason some of our athletes stay fucking up by bringing their fucked up "friends" along for the ride while CACs leave their fucked up friends back in the bumfuck backwoods if they have to.

 

[big pimp]

what i get on your case about is not realizing that niggas aren't trying to hear terms like "collective" and "unity".

this ain't nuthin' new. I've been hearing, taught how we need to work together, get our own businesses and become economically independent since i was a kid, along with most black kinds in my generation. We were warned about times like these.

Most niggas didn't listen.

You keep preaching to the deaf. If they weren't listening then, they won't listen now.

That's why it's now come to every black man for himself.

http://www.eightcitiesmap.com/transcript_bc.htm

Ladies and gentlemen, the lower economic and lower middle economic people are [not*] holding their end in this deal.

I skimmed through it but I'm gonna have to call Colin right now. From what I skimmed he's basically saying that it's our responsibility to take care of our communities and stop blaming white folks for ALL of our problems. Am I correct?

If that's the case, I have no choice but to agree. White folks have done some of the most horrid shit that's ever been done in human history to our people, so to to sit and wait for these same people to help us correct it is pointless. The problems that are currently affecting the black community today are all problems that can be corrected by us if we took responsibility for ourselves and stopped waiting on someone to help us.

In today's America, you have people here from all types of countries where their people suffered atrocities similar to what our people did. The difference between them and us is that instead of waiting for their wrongdoers to suddenly have a change of heart and assist them, they put in the work to fix themselves. This is why immigrants turn their noses up to most black folk they see. Not because they think they're better, but because they realize that while we continue to whine and wait for our problems to be fixed by someone else, they are working hard, right now, to fix themselves and have no time to march and sing "We Shall Overcome."

Wasn't nothing wrong with what Cosby said in my opinion. He practices what he preaches and has done alot for the black community. To me that speech was about holding black folks accountable. Black folks want to fuck up and then get mad when one of there own calls them on it. I still don't understand why people were so mad. The people and so called leaders who were upset are the same ones who tell black people we need cacs for everything and polute our people's minds with low standards.

Too many single parent households.

folks thinking they can do it all alone and dont need anyone,even while having kids.


shyt a train wreck.

 

[DaAssWatcher]

- nigga after you read this murder yourself:

as being the most powerful man in the world, and the first ever black president, what he did or has done prior to this has been trumped.

this is why nobody talks about bush or clintons' tenures as governors...

so with that said, YES - I have come across, and know personally, a TON of people who ride issues until the wheels fall off of them to come across a certain way, but really don't give a shit. this is what people who aspire to be politicians do.

Obama is no different. stop trying to deify that man and make him out to be the black Jesus.

Nigga ain't nobody making him out to be anything.Tha fact that you actually believe tha shit you just typed earlier is fucking retarded to tha trillionth degree.
If tha entire country was polled in 2007 and asked when we would see a Black president every ones answer would be closer to 30-50 years NOT tha very next year.
I'm ashamed that you would even say some shit like that.

Bottom line is, most blacks just seem retarded to the rest of the world because we're the only race that has to have meetings about keeping our kids from killing each other like fucking flies


I've been tryin' to do my part in openin niggas eyes for years but I'm done with that bullshit. I will open EVERY RACE's eyes because there are some really tough obsticles we all have to overcome


No person truly confident in himself has to walk around with sagging pants and a stupid jig ass limp; and NOT SMILE AND GRIM others all day; speak enless profanity mixed with highly incoherent grammar, to prove their worth something or prove "THEY ARE THE SHIT"


You can tell blacks are the least confident race because too many try too hard to be fucking idiotS!!!

THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON ALL OF HUMANITY, ESPECIALLY BLACKS, and greedy people that continue to believe in white supremacy, and changing our moral values!

The Maker of all human beings (GOD) is recalling all units manufactured, regardless of make or year, due to a serious defect in the primary and central component of the heart.
This is due to a malfunction in the original prototype units code named Adam and Eve, resulting in the reproduction of the same defect in all subsequent units. This defect has been technically termed "Sub-sequential Internal Non-Morality," or more commonly known as S.I.N., as it is primarily expressed.

Some of the symptoms include:
1. Loss of direction
2. Foul vocal emissions
3. Amnesia of origin
4. Lack of peace and joy

I will agree that I know it's lower than white households, but no damn way THAT low.

Blacks have money yet the net worth is tied to house and assets. Whites usually have more money in 401k and other investments including a house. Since blacks empty their 401k to get the house their net worth is lower. That's just one theory on the numbers.

this is a good analogy. the 1st step any of us can take is to make sure u are not a statistic. then make sure ur woman and kids are not statistics...then and only then can you reach out beyond there.

take care of home 1st.

Exactly. My middle class ass has been working his ass off. I have been promoted 3 times since 2007, put my wife thru nursing school and now she is getting $60-$70/hour doing contract work. It's in 1-3 week spurts but who cares, we are going to clear $100K this year. I put $250/check into TSP so that I can have when I retire.

We tried to get the sisters-in-law on, but they do dumb shit like have kids by idiot projects guys with no job. I guess they are keeping it real.

Fine with me. I'm good. The wife is good. With my family, 3-4 of us have good government jobs so we are good. Best thing that could have happened was my apartment being broken into when I was deployed. I got back, moved, then was like, "Fuck it, lets get a house," so we got a house last year.

I need some tax shelters, though. For real.

The middle class stuck ups who jumped on the moral bandwagon with Cosby who felt they were better than they're lower class counterparts.

Now many of them are about to join them.

You jackass Cosby was right. His words still have your soul burning. He done more for Our community than you ever will.

The Black community is an airliner out of control preparing for a crash landing. Chances for survival are slim at best. The air masks deploy and you are reminded of the directions to put yours on first before helping anyone else with their mask.

This is what you kats have to start doing. Forget about these black theoretical e-militants like kefta and kayanation preaching their antiquated black unity shtick. It's too late for all that. It's every man for himself at this point.

As for Coon-el West, I wish death upon that house nigga.

And for the rest of you other niggas trying to pin this on Obama, check yourselves, because life was all good when you were spending out of control taking out loans on shit you couldn't afford DURING THE BUSH ERA HA?

And divine, eat a dick muthafucka.

This is why we need JD back on the board!
