    Imagine yourself growing up in an urban environment where people become comfortable in an endless cycle of living in lower class conditions. In you’re mind, you feel oppressed. The rich keep getting richer while you’re working overtime weekly just to make ends meet. Your hopes of owning a house, or owning a car that’s not 10 years or older or more like dreams of what you’d do if you were to win the state lottery. Where is your pride? It’s not in yourself because you feel as if you will never make it in this society as an established citizen who can live the American dream. So to pacify your self esteem, something has to give. You need something to feel good about. It’s not going to be that Mercedes CLK, or that two-story house in the suburbs. The only affordable thing to make you feel like you’re not living in shambles is designer clothing. Subconsciously , you can’t drive what ‘they’ drive, you can’t live where ‘they’ live. But if you spend an entire check on an item of clothing, you can dress how ‘they’ dress. Now you don’t feel so bad about yourself.

    To be honest , I live in a city with a population that is predominantly african-american, and I’ve seen more white people talking to themselves then blacks. This is one of the most obsurd questions I’ve seen thus far.
