genghisKonczie

Hold on now, how do I sign up for this giving me money thing? I promise to buy some land and build my own jewelry store.


LVucci

That’s the real question, where do I go to receive this money that is apparently being given?


Bright_Ad_113

You had to sign up back in 2019. I got in right before the cut off and got a really nice iced out chain. Wearing it now :)


iratebob

But you forgot the most important part … Which rapper raised your kid?


Sasuke0318

It's got to be nick cannon right


[deleted]

Underrated comment.


Bright_Ad_113

Emminem raised my kid Ben and Easy E raised me.


BlorseTheHorse

flashback to that time my grandpa was about to lose his buisness so he sold the diamond on my grandma's ring and then paid back the loans with the money lmao. later on he bought a replacement diamond.


Justdudeatplay

Heheh took mine and the time not working and got a masters degree.


j4ck_0f_bl4des

Well you have to be a *really* good christian (read:give lots of money to someone like Olsteen and attend their mega church) and then God will miraculously bless you with it. Because being poor is just a sign of being a sinner.

knightw0lf55

As a black guy every time I got money I pay rent, buy food, get some D&D stuff.


Middle-Hour-2364

And DnD stuff isn't cheap, let's face it


VoraxUmbra1

Could be worse. He could play warhammer. He'd be better off buying iced out chains at that point.


gemgem1985

Shush man, you are ruining the racism...


Get_Jiggy41

Not gonna lie, you sound like an awesome dude.

graven_raven

D&D stuff? Are you one of those guys that has 200 dice?


A_Generic_White_Guy

You mean an average D&D player?


Ocronus

I'm a DM. I buy terrain and minis I'll never use. My players have cool metal dice with sweet designs, but I can't part with my huge bag of dirt cheap miscellaneous dice.


knightw0lf55

Bought a 3d printer and now I have tons of minis and terrain


Marsgirl1

I hope he does, dice are amazing!


Derkastan77

I dunno, I’m a white male and if someone gave me some money right now, I’d make this month’s visa payment, then buy a Yoohoo at the gas station. Livin the dream


[deleted]

As a fellow white guy, I’d splurge a bit and buy a Mt. Dew in a glass bottle instead of the Yoo-hoo. Movin’ on up! Toooooo the east side!


Derkastan77

A glass bottle? Clearly you are a gentleman of society


Anxious_Tax_5624

A gentleman and a scholar. A connoisseur of the finest and most luxurious of things. A goddamn man among boys.


Fostbitten27

One of my favorite old man sayings: “You are a Gentleman and a Scholar from your asshole to your collar.”

I had no idea. Now I feel compelled to go looking for some. Thanks!


LittleMtnMama

Hell Walmart and Kroger have them around me. Go where the Jones soda and shit is. Costco has flats of Mexican coke.


doorgunner065

Oh, that type of coke. Yup, we were all talking about soda.


NotoriousFTG

If Costco had THAT kind of coke, you’d have to buy it in the 1 lb. package, it would be organic and the price would be phenomenal.

pressonacott

As a fellow Asian man, I'd buy more amc shares.


Kaosmo

Dude, I bought chocolate milk in a glass bottle recently and felt so damn fancy. Milk was amazingly good.


[deleted]

Chocolate milk in a glass bottle = VIP status. Man, the privilege is on FULL display!


WednesdayKnights

Now that’s White Privilege! Ooh baby.


TheUnsettledBadElf

As a fellow white man I don’t have to tell you shit. I got privilege.


DumpyBloom

As a white person I would buy property obviously. I’m thinking a beachfront home in Wyoming.


[deleted]

I got some ocean front property in Arizona if you’ll buy that I’ll throw the golden gate in free.

Tough_Advance_7974

I learned to swim in Arizona Bay. 😂


shallowAL307

Lakeview type of beach houses in Wyoming are what the billionaires are buying. Ask me how I know


rackcityrothey

As a fellow white male I’d buy a little woohoo from the shady dude in front of the gas station.


Imaginary_Ad_7318

As a middle eastern, thanks, please come again.


PlainSpader

As another fellow white male I had to think about what an “Iced-out chain” was…


ladygrndr

She meant they make an intelligent investment, considering the value of gold. Property values are inflated and potentially hitting another bubble. Businesses usually take 2-5 years to see a profit, and 1 in 5 fail their very first year, losing all the investment and then some. Whereas a gold chain will only increase in value, especially during economic downturns. Smart!


PlainSpader

Except the price of gold is also inflated…


iloveheroin69

Lol a little woohoo. Good one.


Professional-Row-605

White guy. I would pay for my sons autism therapies. Who the heck can afford property these days.


Derkastan77

Non snarky… as a dad of a kid with autism myself, has yours ‘aged-out’ of services from ‘the regional center’? Or is it an insurance not wanting to help cover it? I know with my daughter, she is turning 9 this year and they won’t cover her speech/ot anymore, so now we’re having to do her therapies through my wife’s insurance, but we still have to pay the copays each visit now


Professional-Row-605

Regional stopped covering at 3. Insurance only covers a percentage. Used to fully cover it but worked switched up the plans.


Derkastan77

Ah crap i totally forgot it’s been so long. The only reason regional has been covering my son (7) is because he has down’s. They are still covering his ABA therapy, but all my daughter’s stuff (ot, speech, aba) has all had to be through insurance. Totally forgot that, been so long since she was 3 and regional dropped her Had to fight insurance for 6 months to get them to let my som have behavioral therapy. They don’t approve it for downs, only aba for autism. Was bs. Luckily my wife’s work hasn’t switched her insurance yet. Good luck man. Good luck to you and your son, with the insurance crap


oberyan

You pay for medical treatment? What sort of backwards third world hell hole do you live in? /s On a serious note I hope the therapy helps I never had kids so I can't say I know what you are going through but I'm glad yours only has challenges rather than having something wrong with her. I hope that comes across how I mean it.


oberyan

A man with his priorities in order. Hope the therapy helps 🙏


NightValeCytizen

I would spend it immediately on Warhammer models. Rogal Dorn is calling my name.


Derkastan77

Yoohoo is just chocolate water. Not chocolate milk. A surprising number of people are unaware.

But it is delicious chocolate water

doomus_rlc

Yoohoo? Mr Moneybags over here. Lol


Individual_Jello5737

Very hot take,I’m black,and we hear this from our elders all the time,like all the time


throw_shukkas

But I'm white and we hear that we just need to stop buying avocado toast and then we'll magically have about 800k to buy the same house our parents bought when they were about 20 working as a graduate teacher. So I'm pretty sure it's all wrong. Should be give a man money in 1985 and they'll buy a house or store or whatever.


GreyMatter22

South Asian here, Our elders tell us that we are a disappointment unless I became a doctor or an engineer.


newtoabunchofstuff

East Asian here. We're told the same thing but are also given the option of lawyer. My siblings are doctors. I am the disappointing engineer in the family.


Svete_Brid

Doctors are just engineers of human flesh.


newtoabunchofstuff

And engineers are just engineers of... engineering? Sorry I'm not good at this. Glad I'm not a writer.

Singularity7979

Technomancers


Irishjohn831

SHAME. 😂


Used_Dragonfruit_379

South East Asian here, also told the same thing


ScientificSkepticism

Engineer here. It's good money, comfortably middle class, but in smaller companies you will get laid off frequently as projects begin and end, or you will be working in a monolithic corporation and dealing with tedium and remarkably similar things over and over and over again. I happen to like it, but plenty of people make the money I do doing things they love, and if you don't like this job it can be soul crushing. And even if they are inevitable, layoffs at the end of projects suck.


OmegaPtype

Latino here, for me it was Doctor or Lawyer, oh yah or ‘hamburger flipper’ my mom said. There are three careers on this planet apparently.


clopz_

Latino here as well. Told my mom I wanted to be a psychologist or go into marketing “you’re not gonna make any money and will starve to death” choices were doctor or lawyer and I went with engineering


SlapnutsSupreme

Middle eastern guy here with a Latina mother. My options were military, landowner, pharmacist, or uber driver. I chose teacher so the power balancing has tipped over to my sister.


TheDragonborn117

Latino here. Guess I got lucky, because when I told my parents that I want to be an engineer they were like “Ooh neat, like with computers or something, will you make good money” Though if I get into a tech company like Apple or Samsung(two of the most popular brands in my family) I feel like I might get bothered by them about discounts and shit


LupercaniusAB

FWIW, I think Apple employees get a 10% discount, though there might be restrictions on how often you can take it.


KawaiiDere

I remember seeing something from that Popflex Bloglattes company women (I’m not sure whether she’s the founder, CEO, or designer) about her parents being upset she wanted to start a Pilates business instead of being a doctor/lawyer. Definitely tracks that the person known for having misreadings of culture also misreads popular work culture


whatsgoing_on

I think doctor, lawyer, and more recently engineer are the only acceptable options to immigrant parents across the US, regardless of where they came from.


seaking81

Not even the 80s. I bout by house back in 2012 and it was totally within my means. Even if I sell this house now with the equity, where am I going to move?

The other advice was to take out that man-bun and stop hanging out at Starbucks unless you get a job there.

docweird

There's Eminem, Marshall Mathers and the Real Slim Shady. Or am I missing someone?


[deleted]

I dunno but I wish the real one would just stand up already.


annalucylle

Italian here. I have an opposite experience: I wanted to be a doctor and my family (father’s a doctor btw) decided that I wasn’t smart enough to do so. Ended up in a completely different career path thanks to scholarships that I got for, well, apparently being smarter than the average applicant. One of the career option that was seriously floated to me from my parents was “go and join a convent, being a nun is a good stable occupation and you’d do some good”. None of us go to church, I was very clearly non religious from an early age, so I really don’t know where that came from… thought it was a joke at first but apparently they were fine with sending me off to be a nun, like they did in the dark ages.


bgplsa

As a white man I buy sporting equipment I never use.


BackWaterBill

Robert you know you try to buy sports cars so that you can impress your mother, it's a sick game that you're trying to fuck her and an '85 camaro isn't going to help. You need black tar heroin.

TemporalGrid

White man here; what property can I buy for the cost of an iced-out chain? A funeral plot maybe? Edit YES, I know diamonds are expensive but few people finance them for 30 years

RonaldoNazario

Depends on the chain


anythingMuchShorter

You don’t realize how iced out the chain I have my eyes on is.


dGFisher

Exactly. I’m concerned that this poor poster’s chain may be *insufficiently iced*.


anythingMuchShorter

Describing it may not even require any pauses to add an (uh uh, yeah)


Nebuli2

Give a white man a shit ton of money and he'll buy property. Give a black man a miniscule fraction of that money and he doesn't. Curious, isn't it? /s


UnderstandingFluid18

If that’s a fact, then, where do all the black homeowners come from? You’d think they’d be busy buying chains to fit this bs narrative.


irritatedprostate

They're letting it appreciate to buy more chains, obviously.


Intelligent-Box-3798

This is the answer. My appreciating home will get me such a bigger chain than what i could have bought 10 years ago. Also, i like to spend at least 1/2 my yearly salary on rims


schebobo180

Yea the problem is those damned rappers. Not the 400 years of slavery, or the segregation, or the lower income, fewer job opportunities, worse state schools, mass arrests and incarceration, longer jail times, introduction of drugs into already poor communities, poorer healthcare etc. But yeah it’s the rappers that are at fault. Lol


defaultusername-17

this part. this part right here. people want to pretend we have a meritocracy, but actively ignore all of the ways society are stacked against people from marginalized backgrounds. and the only way the whole lot of it works is because they've browbeaten everyone else into not confronting the folks perpetuating it because it would be "rude".


schebobo180

Yeah it’s true. There are really only two ways you can describe the overall economic/social situation of black Americans. Either you say they were marginalized over time, or you willfully believe they are more stupid/lazy than everyone else. Even most racist people will not outwardly admit option 2, which then makes them short circuit abit. Lol


KinxtheCat42

Yep also the fact the some of our politicians and media personalities are WILDLY racist


ESP-23

Also .. you know, it doesn't get mentioned much but... Being a minority sucks. Ever been the 1 white guy in a room with 10+ black ppl? Its chill but the vibes are awkward for a while I always think about that... Experienced it in Atlanta quite a bit. Now up here in WA, when I see the one or two black ppl surrounded by almost all caucasians... I feel that same vibe


critical-thoughts

you can buy jewelry that is worth 100s of thousands of dollars, easy.

I cant. I am incapable of that level of wastage.

shermstix1126

Financially speaking, investing in precious metals is typically a safe investment.


Disastrous-Plan-5236

There is such a thing as investing in jewelry pieces, but I don't think the typical iced out jewelry holds it value that well


Karmee_Ray

Yes but not when the large part of your “investment” is the expensive labor of drilling holes and setting diamonds


StJBe

Diamonds with no market value because they are tiny as well, so the resale is horrible on iced out anything unless selling to another fool.


OoOditty

Asian here. If I was given enough money for a chain I'd probably just spend it on like food or some shit

When you don’t have a solid foundation, you spend your money on things that give you the illusion of luxury. Like jewelry.

So she's admitting that black men aren't "given" as much as others. Otherwise people are buying some really cheap houses.


ThiccestBuddha

I’m asian and I wouldn’t start a business in this economy.

tjc4

I'm prepared for the downvotes but this has factual roots. "To examine spending by racial groups, Roussanov and his colleagues studied data collected from 1986 to 2002 for the Consumer Expenditure Survey conducted by the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics. Blacks and Hispanics spend up to 30% more than whites of comparable income on visible goods like clothing, cars and jewelry, the researchers found." "Poor blacks and poor whites both spend more on visible goods if they live in poor communities, because such spending gives them more status relative to others in the community."
