My fellow blacks, why do we invest so much into material things (read on) ?
First, before I get started, I am not interested in ignorant racist answers so expect to be reported!! Now on to my question. I watch so many music videos based on "sippin on Cristal" or "rolling on 22's". All of today's music is about blinging platinum and diamonds, driving a Maybach or some other expensive car or insulting black women. If we're not rapping about any of those subjects, we're rapping about killing one another. And then we wonderwhy our children are growing up with no morals or values and no respect or regard for another human's life. So many of my black brothers are driving around in fancy cars with huge, shiny rims, gold teeth (mostly in the south) and can't save up enough money to move out of their mother's house. When will we as a people learn that this is our downfall? When will we learn to focus on more important things like saving for our children's future, investing in a home for our families, raising our children properly etc??
My fellow blacks, why do we invest so much into material things (read on) ?
Who was it that taught blacks to hate the color of their skin, texture of their hair? Who taught them to hate the shape of their nose, shape of their lips? Who taught blacks to hate their self each other so much so they don't like to be around each other?
Blacks have been taught to hate their self and find love in material things, because back in the day they said "a black man think he made it if he had a cadillac." I believe they try to hard to buy stufff just so people will know they have money.
Like example when they go out they have to have the lastest shoes and new clothes. Jewerly, expensive too and a nice car with rims. So this way everyone can see "they have money" I believe it's a strong need for them to be able to show they a not poor.
I think it just self esteem they say "what a man think so is he" when you hear a rapper rapping about material things Like Baby from Cash Money then you know that what he is. He need those thing to make him happy. Because most blacks are this way they will spend and spend to keep up all because they have been taught they need these thing to feel important.
You have to solve the root of the problem I was once that way and still something am. I use to want everything I couldn't afford. Come to think of it, it was only to make me feel better about myself. I got a 07 escalade because I could afford it. Others do it just because someone esle did it.
Truth is they have been poor so long that they want to buy all of this stuff to feel better about theirself which is more important than the long run. You seen it, if a person feels bad about something then that's one of the worst things a person can go through. Like women who spend money on shoes, face lifts to feel better and be happy. Also by watching the Media they praise this image and the people like this justice this image by saying i'm better than you.

Reply:I think TV has alot to do with it. I don't think it's just effecting the black children, I think it's effecting all children. I wish i had the answer for you, just know your not alone
Reply:As an Asian guy I have always wondered that same thing. With the exception of guys like P. Diddy, Jay Z., Russell Simmons, and few others most do not think of the future. They all live for right now. Look at MC Hammer and Mike Tyson. They were worth 100's on millions of dollars years ago and now both are nearly broke.
They spent a lifetime's worth of money in less than a decade and allowed outsiders to influence them into making bad investments or bad choices which led to their demise. Also, why do none of them invest in black owned business other than clothing companies. I remember when Michael Jordan used to have a celebrity golf classic about 100 miles from me and you never saw him step foot in the ghetto to meet the kids who bought his sneakers and clothes. He always hung with the upper class people which were usually white.
Reply:I think it makes people feel better about their over all appearance. If you drive an expensive vehicle, and have lots of diamonds and expensive cloths. It doesn't make you somebody. Material things are not important to me because of the way I was raised. I was raised to think love, family and friendships were more important than the brand of jeans you put on in the morning. I believe it all comes back to how you were raised.
Red, Yellow, Black,and White. It doesn't matter when you were not taught right from wrong. I can't answer the question when will we learn to focus on more important things, but I will say this,
By the time you know you didn't save or invest in your future it's probably way to late!
Reply:I hope that you don't mind that I put an answer in here, I am white.
But I can surely see your point. I lived in or near black neighborhoods for much of my life and have seen what you are talking about firsthand. I have many black friends and some do what you are talking about. They have expensive clothes, top of the line shoes, gold necklaces, and really nice cars and they save up money to buy expensive things. And most important a high powered stereo in their car so that people 3 blocks away get to hear it to. And I am not a racist in anyway, I have nieces and nephews that are half-black and I never thought much of it one way or the other. But I can tell you that I would never go into a bar where it is mostly black people because I know that any arguement will end up in violence. And there are black racists.
As you say rap music, that is, much of it is about drugs and violence, kill cops, kill brothers, kill whoever. This is not just a black problem but is spreading all over our country. I know people that are 25 years old, still live at home with their mother, don't work but somewhere they get money for drugs. In Milwaukee, WI where I live numerous shootings in black neighborhoods have resulted in any black children being shot, "by accident." That is, the shooter was shooting at someone else. I watch the black mothers grieve and cry on TV
about their loss, and it is heart breaking. I hope that this changes soon, but I doubt that it will. And that is just to bad.

Funeral Question?
My family and I are helping a friend who is dying and they want to know if the gold teeth they have can be extracted after their death to be sold and use to help his brothers teenager with their future college fund? If so, who does it? Who should I and my family contact to make this arrangement?
Funeral Question?
No, this is illegal because it is undue abuse of a corpse, and for the very small amount of gold that is actually in the teeth, it is worthless. Besides, there has to be a better method to a college fund than ripping out the teeth of a deceased person to sell. That is very disrespectful, and I would never, ever honor that request. That is where I draw the line. I ama funeral director and have had this request only once, and the answer was no, absolutely not.
Reply:Have the funeral home do it after death
Reply:Dude, sorry but thats so sick. Let the poor dead guy have his teeth. No dentist is probably going to extract teeth from a dead guy without that mans permission in writing anyway. Who wants to buy it either?
Reply:Why wait til after death, at that point you'll have to go through probate to get anything? Just grab a bottle of Jim Beam, a pair of plyers and go to work! Hell, they're dying anyway, what do they care?
Reply:it would probably cost more to get it melted down and them taken off than it would be worth....now if there were diamonds in those teeth it would be a different story.
Reply:Ask the funeral director. I'm sure they get that kind of question all the time. If they don't do it, I'm sure they know where to send you.
Reply:Your funeral embalmer should be able to do this for you. It is treated like jewelry I guess. Gold teeth are not worth very much however. They contain alloys instead of purest form of gold. But I am sure the embalmer who prepares the body can tell you more. Just Ask.
Good Luck
Reply:The mortician will be glad to assist you. While some find it squeamish, it is no big problem for the professional. I just inherited and sold 3 gold fillings - $50.
Reply:Talk to the mortician. Better yet, have the friend put it in his will that he would like his gold teeth to be extracted and given to his brother. You can then talk to the physicians and mortician about who can perform the procedure.
Reply:Ask the funeral director or funeral pallor........... good luck
Reply:In some states, only certain people can do it. In others, anyone with pliers can. I admire his stand on helping his relative and hope all goes well for the person who may be dying. They show true courage! I would ask the funeral director, I am sure he or she has heard similar requests many times.
Reply:Wow, that's a sensitive subject. First, I'm sorry that your friend is dying. I am assuming a funeral director might be able to answer your question... or at least point you in the right direction. I would also assume that someone with dental experience would need to remove the teeth... hopefully the funeral director will have the answer for you. Good luck and God Bless!
Reply:yes you can the undertaker can remove them.there,s places that sell and by gold, that,s were you go to. that,s why people like to be grave diggers,
Reply:I'm sorry to hear about you soon to be loss. My cousin was killed in a car accident a couple years ago and she too had gold teeth. I'm not telling you not to, but I don't think that gold from teeth are worth as much to use for a college fund. We kept her gold tooth with her. I don't think that we had them removed and if I were on the other side, I'd love to help out my family but I wouldn't want to pawned out. I know I'm not helping you, but I would go to a jeweler and the mortician and ask for some references. I don't know where you are located, but they would be the most knowledgable about local places for that. Take care and remember that your friend is losing their family member in the best way. He is leaving this world and not being taken away like my cousin. Take care.
Reply:You would have to hire a dentist to do it which would be cost prohibitive......also the gold is such a small amount it is virtually worthless.

Are blacks generally wealthy?
Are most Blacks affluent? I notice that they tend to have the fanciest cars, flashiest clothes, attention-getting jewelry and latest cell phones. I've seem too many to count with a ring on every finger and mouth full of gold teeth.
I go to so-called poor black neighborhoods and see many things I will never be able to afford. These items are usually beyond the reach of the poor so I'm assuming Blacks are generally affluent nowadays.
I assume that they have all these material trappings because their financial priorities are 100% in order and all their other needs have been met. I hope to get there one day.
Are blacks generally wealthy?
Puh-lease. I see people of all races living above their means and who make materialism their priority.
But I know you're a sad, sad troll.
Reply:yes blacks own the majority of the companies
Reply:Are whites generally talented???
Reply:Nice. LMAO!
Reply:This is a stupid question.
There are blacks of all classes
The poor that you are referring to tend to buy the small material things in life that are within their means. Don't begrudge them for buying a cell phone and wearing jewelry.
Reply:It's called the swap meet, flea market, or someones backyard where they sell are this crap or put "gold" teeth in their mouths.
Reply:someone will probably report you for being
'racist'
lol
im not even gonna state my opinion i dont
wanna piss anyone off
Reply:I don't think there is a race that is "generally wealthy" the world is full of the poor, of all ethnic backgrounds. There is always more poor/middle class than the wealthy.
Also, where I live, blacks are generally poor. Perhaps the wealth of a certain ethnicity depends on location.
Reply:There is no way to answer this without sounding racist. BUT... if you are looking in the poor black neighborhoods the people there probably bought cheap knockoff stuff or stole it. Either that or they are drug dealers. I will say the same about the white people in poor areas too.
Reply:im not gunna say anything cuz i might get pissed at.
Reply:The poorest peope in the US are White women
Reply:It's more of a trend than a way of life. You'll find this in any race/culture,etc. The people who live this way - with the nice cars and "bling" are doing it to stand out and try to impress each other. The same reason there are "rednecks" who have to wear as much camouflage as possible to stand out and impress among each other. The same reason most Asian cultures will pursue education as far as possible because they are considered nothing without it. Yes, these are all stereotypes, but it's just a way of wording things to try to better explain a point.
Reply:I'm black. And I'm wealthy. But my parents dont drive around in a giant SUV, with gold fillings and bling. That's all just materialism; a needless waste of money. All kinds of people can have money, but only the ones who invest, spend, and save wisely are truly rich.
Reply:chungsung4 is right. Anyway, I don't know what poor area YOU'VE been in. I do know, however, that good credit will get you many things you can't afford. And that goes for everyone.

PLEASE! Check my poem out??
"Last Resort"
That deep, lonely, and scary place,
my only last resort.
With tear-stained cheeks, I contemplate.
How can this be so real?
Become my true reality?
Didn’t know this was near,
I was taken by surprise,
and now I’m paying.
Everything appears so dismal.
Dark, long, matted-up hair,
hangs shaggy over my green eyes.
Smokey, purple bruises,
spread quickly across my body,
like some deadly disease.
Always retching so endlessly,
the stench of spewing liquid,
like stomach virus all the time.
The scent just makes me cringe.
Blisters bubble across my hands,
a burning sensation.
Appear from tugging at the ropes,
that drape along my neck and hands.
Blisters begin to bleed badly,
no longer can I tug,
or pull at the thick, light-brown ropes.
Hands now so delicate,
afraid they might break if I keep tugging.
And all in the meantime,
you sit in your stupid corner,
and snicker at me loud,
showing your bountiful gold teeth.
Treat me like I’m just dirt,
as I sob and shout for my life.
Stare up at the dark sky,
wondering why this is my life.
How I got stuck,
in this deep, dark, mud-like substance,
I’m living my last resort,
and I can’t seem to just break free.
Dying in this dark hole,
I only wish for freedom.

(i posted this a long time ago) But i was wondering, is my word choice decent? Or too imature? I was looking through my poem folder thing, and came across it. So what do you think of it? Do you like it? Do i need different word choices?? THANK YOU!
PLEASE! Check my poem out??
That was good,
But the second stanza is my absolute favorite. Its very descriptive, and flowed very well. The mention of light-brown added a type of irony in how thats a very calm gentle color.
Steve E is somewhat right though, especialy with the first stanza. Don't say scary; it really doesn't sound scary when you say that.
Reply:its good. you whould keep woeking. its not imature. i like it. no i dont hink you ned diff. words it came from you and its good.
Reply:I have felt like your poem before.
I guess my question to you would be are you in a better place now?
The poem is an expression of what you were going through at a certain point in your life. Leave it the way it is. You might lose something if you change it around.
Reply:very nice. do you write lyrics at all? i am a lyricist. and i used to write only poetry. try it! p.s. instead of "mud" try...something more visceral. -kj-
Reply:um wow its really long but i think u did good im not an expert so yea i dont think what i say counts but any ways i think ur poems viscous keep writing u might get some where some day. . .
but these parts scared me a lil:

Reply:It sounds a little juvenile. One rewrite to update some words and it'll be fine
Reply:I loved the third stanza. I love the whole poem actually. I think that that is a lot of depth and that you should keep writing. It expresses inner thoughts and you are very talented.
Great work! ; )
Reply:You do seem need some rewording... I mean you go from 'dismal', 'spewing' and 'cringe' to "...stupid corner..." and "...mud-like..." It's like your trying to combined 2 different types of writing into 1. The kind where you use big words to describe great detail, and they kind where you don't. The kind where you just put how you were feeling using simple words.
Again, as I believe I've said this before, try writing a short story with it. You have the potential to write a brilliant short story with wording like that. But a poem...not so much... What your trying to go for is brilliant 'n like the fact that your trying to go for it. But a poem is not the way to achieve this.
Luck.

the stench of spewing liquid,
like stomach virus all the time.
The scent just makes me cringe.
Blisters bubble across my hands,
a burning sensation.
(eww very graphic)
Reply:It sounds a little juvenile. One rewrite to update some words and it'll be fine
Reply:I loved the third stanza. I love the whole poem actually. I think that that is a lot of depth and that you should keep writing. It expresses inner thoughts and you are very talented.
Great work! ; )
Reply:You do seem need some rewording... I mean you go from 'dismal', 'spewing' and 'cringe' to "...stupid corner..." and "...mud-like..." It's like your trying to combined 2 different types of writing into 1. The kind where you use big words to describe great detail, and they kind where you don't. The kind where you just put how you were feeling using simple words.
Again, as I believe I've said this before, try writing a short story with it. You have the potential to write a brilliant short story with wording like that. But a poem...not so much... What your trying to go for is brilliant 'n like the fact that your trying to go for it. But a poem is not the way to achieve this.
Luck.

White people, why did this comment get 5 thumbs down? What does this tell you about white people?
Here's the comment,

Especially if they have gold teeth!
They're great in bed too!!!!"
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?...
It's the first answer to the question
White people secretly can't stand white women with black men
White people, why did this comment get 5 thumbs down? What does this tell you about white people?
How exactly did you fit a head that big up your rectum? Does it smell good up there? Did your parents raise ya to be a sensitive victim mentality drama junkie or did ya figure that one out by yourself?
If a white woman dated YOU, a racist whining like a spoiled little rich girl, I can assure you that it is because her lack of taste, inability to process simple thoughts, and failure to satisfy a real man knocked her out of the running for anything else.
Reply:It probably got thumbs down because it was a dopey comment that probably wasn't serious.
"Especially if they have gold teeth!"? Now that's just retarded.
Reply:The answers and question tell me the following;
There are a bunch of immature, idiotic, trolls on Yahoo! Answers.
In addition, the question and answers show little description about any race.
Reply:We took it to mean the person responding was making a racist stereotype that all black men are well endowed and have gold teeth. In other words, we thought the person was making a racist remark towards black men. Maybe you should, too. But then, you yourself are quite racist towards white people.
Reply:Another black man raised with a chip on his shoulder...It's your parent's fault...
Reply:I could care less either way dude. If you want to make this an issue go ahead but I don't care if every white woman goes with a black guy. I think you have a problem with overgeneralizing groups of people. The KKK do to.
Reply:..am I supposed to be impressed by the fact that your dental hygiene is so lacking you need gold teeth?
Reply:I don't think it has shyt to do with it being about black guys;
I think it just wasn't an intelligent comment to begin with....
Reply:Maybe it is perceived as racists itself... perhaps? Eat some watermellon and think on it a bit.
Reply:No, I have no problem. Please do not group all of us as a race together. Some do, some don't. It's not the entire race. Frankly, I don't care what race dates/marrys another. It's great how we can do that now-a-days.
Reply:I think it is not a racial thing. Most people are very much against Paris Hilton. Period. No matter what she does or says she has been getting a lot of negative media coverage.
In reality..I have not seen Paris Hilton date a black man..but maybe I am wrong..I am not THAT much of a fan of Paris Hilton...but who really cares as Paris Hilton is a billionaire and 26 years old and can date whoever she wants too
Reply:Those thumbs down maybe an indication that they don't agree with the statement.
Not that they can't stand interracial couples.
Reply:Think its just wrong and the gal is probably out after shock value or a crack whore.I personally don't care for interracial relationships and there are so many black kids without dads why try spreading it over to the white race however if they are married and really love one another more power to um.Putting gold all over your grill advertising gangsta drug money and the lack of knowledge on how to spend or invest money well thats their choice and not mine.Checked out your profile and you ain't much gotta say.
Reply:I think you are absolutely right! I live in Europe, in a country where 99% of people are white, and when my male friend, who is black, comes to visit me, we always face some strange looks when we get out. No one really tells us anything, but, by the way other people look at me, I can see they are thinking "there she is, a s**t with a black guy"! And that really hurts me. I can't stand the thing that they bring me in the position to even think of his skin color, and force me to explain that he is no different then any other white man.
Well, to be honest, he is different, since he really looks great! :)
Reply:I don't know, it could be that black dudes like you have an inferiority complex, which is why they frantically work out to prove something. Just like short white guys.
I'm Italian, and we are the f*ckin best, remember that.
Reply:She probably got thumbs down for having Paris Hilton as her avatar and screen name. I wouldn't matter what she said.
Reply:Well you must really have an inferiority complex so you use the analogy that all white women want to be with black men to make yourself feel better, as if you've gotten one over on the white man. That's cool bro hey if that helps boost your self esteem like taking a pic of yourself without a shirt on and putting it on yahoo answers go for it. Just also know that the majority of white women DON'T want to be with black men. The majority of females date inside of their own race.
Oh you should also know that a lot of black females are moving on to white men because they're sick of the ghetto hip hop imagery that so many of you and your brothers portray lol.
I had some sweet brown sugar last weekend that wouldn't want a thing to do with you and your skank ***.
Reply:I don't know why it got 5 thumbs down. I mean some white people are so stupid I admit. It was their preference and their is nothing wrong with that. Myself I LOVE black guys too ( I'm white) and who cares? I sure don't care what other's think. Your so right.

Charity for Americans in need of humoUr transplant, help?
Today I have invented the AINOAHT: Americans In Need Of A Humour Transplant. These poor unfortunate human zombies believe everything their government and media tells them. Living their lives TOTALLY in fear!
They work incredibly long hours and ask no questions for fear of being sacked and their families forced to beg at churches!
They are FORCED to shop for things they DON'T NEED or really want, but can't resist the idea of 4 seperate payments of $19.95, or a one off payment of $19.95.
Their media has them completely in fear daily, of being robbed outside their homes by large African Americans with gold teeth, African Killer Bees, White powder seeping under their doors and the cracks in their windows, and a terrible fear of being shot from a parked car in a gas station.
94% of Americans have a bunker in their back garden filled with enough cans of beans to feed an entire borough in NY for 17 years. Please Please Please help.
Just £1 can pay for 44,000 Brain Transplants!

Reply:While you're at it,you could earmark a portion of those funds for a Fix Our Teeth and Save Us From Fish and Chips Blimey fund for Brits.
Reply:Try not to let the fact that you have an abnormally small penis get to you.
