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

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?

How do we act? I’m curious.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

My boyfriend always verbally abuse me and makes me cry. If I try to tell him how hurt I was, he says to me he loves me and can't hurt me but always abuse me. Why?

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.

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.
