So, my boyfriend, my mom, and I went to a small town, and I wanted to drink a smoothie. I pleaded with them to take me to a café where a man was singing live. I was happy listening to the music and enjoying my smoothie. But once I was done, I wanted to leave, while the other two were still singing along and enjoying themselves.

BUT I WAS TIRED OF THE VIBE. I wanted to leave right then, so I sat there, making my desire to leave clear on my face. Yet they kept ordering drinks. I couldn’t take it anymore—I just wanted to leave. I was tired of listening to the music. So I decided to take a walk outside.

I left and crossed the corner. When I wanted to return, a dog blocked the way, so I took the long route.

When I came back, my mom told me my boyfriend had gone looking for me. Thirty minutes later, he returned sweating. He had run all around the town, imagining the worst. He convinced himself I’d been kidnapped by human traffickers or killed in the forest (I’d been gone less than 20 minutes).

He even showed me statistics about how many women are kidnapped per year. Then he gave me the silent treatment because I wasn’t taking him seriously—if anything, I was laughing.

Finally, when they took me out of that putrid café, we went home. While driving, he talked to my mom about how I should be responsible for myself. Something about noticing an old man following me, waiting for the opportunity, etc. Then he suddenly stopped talking because his arm started stinging—from his hand to his ear.

When his episode ended, he said he has a heart abnormality where it beats faster than normal and he’s prone to those issues. He hadn’t had one in two years.

So, who do you think was in the wrong? I don’t know if I was irresponsible or if they were being dramatic. They’re calling me selfish for leaving the café without telling them. But from my perspective, the café wasn’t the vibe, so I left—as I should have.

That black people are impoverished not because socioeconomics, racism etc but because they blow every penny they get on overpriced consumer products, take loans they can't afford and don't save or invest for their future all to look like a baller.

In 2022 the black spending power hit a whooping 1.6 Trillion dollars? How much of that was spent Nike Jordans? 1 billion? How much spent on nails and hair extensions? On Mercedes? How much they spending paying the intrest payments on loans?

It's not that they are spending our money outside the black community that's the problem, it's that they spending it foolishly on crap they don't need rather than investing it in their own futures. Black Spending Power is just a pharse media people and community activists coined to make it sound like they oppressed but we got somehow got power due to how much money they blow each year. Nobody talks about white spending power or Asian spending power or jewish spending power, why? Because they save their money, they invest they money in bonds and shares, they get themselves mortgages rather than pay somebody else's mortgage with rent checks. You see a white guy or Asian guy he not spending $300 dollars on the latest Nikes made in a 3rd world country for a dollar, he might be driving a busted old Honda even though he making good money because he trying to get together the down payment on a house or start a business or get enough money to go to college. White women don't be spending $2000 per month on hair and nails. Asian people be pushing their kid's to do well at school and college.

They gotta look back and ask why all through segregation and Jim crow was the black community more prosperous then than now?

If you watch commercials now they are all aimed at black folks especially ones regarding loans.
