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

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

My dad’s big ass Ford F-150 long bed got stuck in the snow, we were struggling, I was covered in mud and absolutely miserable. However, we had a savior, a Black man from up North, Massachusetts, happened to be visiting relatives nearby and saw our sad plight.

He shoveled around the tires, he rocked the tires, and then he got some sand from the sandbox we had for the kids for traction. He got it out. WE asked him if he needed anything but he said nope, just wanted to help. My younger sister was trying to flirt with him too because he was REALLY handsome. Like Sir, how are you so nice and good looking?

But my dad is straight country, Black people version. It don’t matter how much money he gets, he’ll always drink him a nastyass bud light and sit outside on the hottest of days listening to the blues.

Hi everybody! I have been looking at posts on narcs and narc abuse on here and if has really helped me out a lot. I am currently struggling with my situation and need some advice/support. I met a narc last year, everything seemed to good to be true. Love bombing, always texting calling and taking me on dates. Everything changed when someone warned me about him out in public in front of him and who he is. This caused a conflict with us and the love bombing seized. he would tell me that everything is okay and i can come and talk. He would set a time limit on me and kick me out after that. he would then text me like everything was fine and we hung out again and after that he completely ghosted me for one week. He came back and texted me a week later laughing about the ghosting and acting like nothing had happened. he continued to text me ( not like in the beginning) make plans with me, then on the day of the plans he would just ghost me. One day he would act interested the next silence. i contacted him a month later and he acted like nothing happened. He was on a vacation and sent me a picture of another woman ( someone he allegedly met on the trip) to strike a reaction but i never gave him one. After the trip he came to my place and was extremely rude, accusing me of going on dates with a bunch of men. The next day he accused me of being an alcoholic and that he wanted nothing to do with me but said well maybe we can be "friends" then ghosted me i assumed at this point it was over and i would never hear from him again. He contacted me on the holiday a month later acting like everything was great. We ended up hanging out a month or so later and when we hung out it went well, i thought things were going in the right direction. after we hung out.. silence. I would try to text him and if he replied it would be very short then he just stopped replying. He ghosted me for almost three months. I thought he was done this time and of course he popped up again like nothing happened. At this point i was getting sick of if so i questioned him as to why he dissapeared and always does this. Of course he had some sob story about a injury and family member dying of cancer. I felt pity for him and he gave me an apology.. so i took him back stupidly. things seemed to be going smooth for a couple months, of course until his family member died and his injury got better he never contacted me and was distant. Menawhile, i was there for him during the difficult time for him. He lied to me about the funeral and never wanted to chat. I was chasing him and he would always claim nothing was wrong but when i said i thought he used me when he was down he could not handle it and would always tell me he didnt care and to go away. I would get so upset i would try texting him to work it out he would barelt respond and if he did he would not be nice about it. we did hang out a couple times after that, he would ignore me after. One day i was like hey i think you are seeing someone else, and i was like well ixam seeing someone so no problem if you are he said " buy bye good luck with your new guy stop contacting me" i was devastated and tried to get into contact with him for weeks then i just gave up and accepted it was over. He ended up contacting me a month later acting like everything was fine. He wanted to go out and have drinks i told him i would. He and i both seemed to have a great time. He ends up ignoring me again. I kept texting him trying to figure out what was wrong. He kept saying everything was fine and i said ok can we hang out again? He said maybe i was like why? He just kept saying maybe … our last conversation we had… i said what is wrong ? He said nothing is wrong everything is fine. I asked him why he keeps saying maybe. He said " maybe but i dont want to see you right now" i said why? He saix " im just not feeling it, if i wanted to date i would" i said why did you contact me less then a week ago wanting to go out? He said i didnt.. even though he did. So i said should i just move on or what? He said whatever you want to do. So i said that he was really confusing me and asked him if he had anything more to say before i move on? My messages were turning green so i panicked he blocked me and reacted irrationally. I said " omg did you block me? My messages are not going through. Even texted him on my work phone asking what was up. And called him twice ( please dont judge me i know it is pathetic i never was this type of girl before him) so he replied and said " Ok I'll block you now" then immedietly blocked me. He has never blocked me before since I have met him he will just ghost. Is this ths final discard aka " grand finale? Did i just push him too far? this has upset me so much its hard to even function.

I was raised in a middle/upper middle class setting as a Black American.

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

Some song about having a big bootied woman….

I don’t get why folks don’t understand this cause, it happens everywhere:

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. There are so many unopened packages of things she forgot, that during the holidays she barely needs to shop. One year she just told us to raid her closet and I pulled out a Saint Laurent wallet, an iphone portable charger that doubles as an emergency flash light, like I can put the thing on top of my car for emergencies and you can see that a far distance away, tons of expensive perfume and lotion sets like Chanel, and some cute nail polish sets, it was quite nice.

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.

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.

A grown folks gifting. We raid her pantries when we come over anyways.

Is there a correlation between being a medium and mental health?

I just UberEATS myself an expensive plate of snow crab linguine from a high end restaurant to celebrate cause I can eat solids now after having a tooth extracted.

How do we act? I’m curious.

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

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….
