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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

Like Sir, how are you so nice and good looking?

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.
