"I hate to rain on your parade, but maybe they earned that money from legitimate means. Not every black person gets things from ill gotten methods. Crab in a pot mentality doesn’t extend to going into a “big 7” career and blowing your money on crap. "

In the first place, you cannot "rain on" my "parade", you don't have the power. It's my personal opinion and my observation and there is absolutely nothing you can do to change it...nothing!

And, I don't even know what you are trying to say with the "crab" and "big 7" line...you sound like a kook to me.

I've been around for almost 64 years, and I've seen it from all sides. I know there are many, responsible, and well-to-do black people, and I am all about responsibility and self-reliance.

Even members of ACORN should be able to understand that.
