I see the poors are pretending to be big wallet niggas again est. 2016
Hello, welcome to 'I see the poors are pretending to be big wallet gangstas again'
This hole exists as a safe space for refugees from the Facebook(MetaTM groups of the same name. Of which there have been several iterations. We mostly exist to poke fun at the state of living in poverty. While it oftentimes is unavoidable, we do aspire to not be meanspirited. Over the years we have co-opted the term 'Peak Poor' to being someone who exudes poverty, regardless of their actual net worth. Trump and Elon both exhibit the peak poor ethos from time to time while still being the top 0.000001%. You can do something peak poor and still be a good person or a generally adjusted one. We all have a bit of poor in us.
We basically fill a niche similar to fatpeoplehate with a bit less actual malice.
PeakPoor is shotgunning mountain dews at 5 years old.
PeakPoor is not people dying of poverty. While technically the greatest heights of poverty is succumbing to it this is not funny, and is a failure
of capitalism. We do not make fun of poverty to be mean spirited such as that.
Read the room, if it's punching down too hard or really digging into someone whos a sympathetic character it doesn't belong here. (basically READ THE ROOM)
Sitewide rules apply

Subscribe to this hole, it's important that we get our numbers up. Love numbers = peak poor
Bonus points for making your post title some variation of peak poor. (Pinnacle of Poverty, Prowess of the Penniless)
I am looking for a mod who will help me grow this place and encourage the facebook community where the majoryity of our members reside
to migrate. Contact me if interested.
I really do love you all so very much, i'm even spending drama coin to get some banners and marseys. thanks for being a part of the community.

Most comments are quite sensible, racial tribalism in the US is not going anywhere, the same with any sort of ethnic tribalism around the world.
@kaamrev, speaking on segregated societies, how many blacks are there in your social circle? Like how normal is it for young whites to befriend blacks and coloureds?

I had many black friends in UCT, and even high school, where we had warm and relationships to the extent where we would even talk about controversial and difficult topics like race and the difficulties of modern RSA
However UCT and Cape town is not South Africa and never will be representative of the nation or continent, too many Bong whites don't understand that and get a slap in the face when they realize the stark divide in culture inland
I haven't had a black friend in 5 years, basically since university, now I am an introvert and there's less opportunities and clubs as in Cape town, than the backwater rural shitheap of the free state continent, but it was still the intensity of culture divide that is so unbelievably wide that language alone doesn't just take us apart
I believe yank black peeps are closer to their white peers than RSA whites will ever be to their black countrymen, and yet still we can see the bitterness and hatred they have for whites with constant talk of reperations and wokeshit
Racial mixing is not even nearly a thing here is RSA to the extent it is in Burgerland, fricking all of the races in SA, Indian white and blacks are all brutally conservative when it comes to mixed racing it is unbelievably harsh
You will notice that the difference between corporate woke and liberal advertising in RSA and burgerland is starkly different - there will still be dominant black peeps being featured in the ads as they have become the most prominent economic and political ethnic group to pander to for businesses looking to peddle their shit, but the stark DIFFERENCES is that white and black race mixing will NOT feature front and centre as they do the woke Anglosphere of Bongland and America
This is because blacks here are very anti race mixing to the exact extent as the most racist white supremacist among Boers, it's immense.
I wager that burgerland has by far a greater degree of race mixing than us despite being proportionally less diverse, I know the woke ads and Hollywood slop is not reflective of reality in the country, yet I have witnessed Americans amongst the most tolerant upon the planet regarding race mixing
Friendships are reflective of this as well to a smaller degree and I have lost contact with all of the Indians and black peeps I used to have positive relationships with, all within 5 years
For children I think its easier in school and varsity, and just this week I've seen white and black kids always playing soccer or rugby in the street when I arrive home after work, yet I propose the older you get, the harder it is to bridge racial culture divides
Even amongst the various black Tribes like Sotho Vs Zulu there is ingrained bad blood and children are dissuaded from dating between tribes, nevermind between black and white races, even bars are racially divided, with prominently Afrikaans bars catering to Boers with rugby and Afrikaans music, which black peeps avoid by CHOICE as it doesn't cater to their preferences of black music and food and alcohol
Lastly the vestiges of apartheid is constantly held over all of us by politicians and sometimes the racial tension is strong enough to cut with a butter knife
It is difficult being a white in post apartheid RSA, the men and women most responsible are dead, dying and retiring, and their children like me and my sister have to face the music in their stead
I work amongst the most poor and decrepit as a surveyor when I stake out the stands for people's future homes, and I have to look the poorest blacks in the eyes everyday, and I'm filled with remorse at the events that led us here
In such a space there is little capacity for me personally to even begin to make friends amongst blacks, even if I have cordial relationships with black colleagues and clients

Fun fact, I don't recall ever interacting with a black person who wasn't a service worker (this has more to do with geographical distribution though).
So for all the talk about “le wholesome rainbow nation” everyone just forcebely lives in the same country, do some work together and that's it? Does that applies to the new Black middle class? Here in the South there are very few blacks around, pardos are a much larger portion of the population and they don't segregate. Class is what defines your social surroundings and as I come from an upper middle class upbringing most people I socialize with (ignoring work of course) are around middle-class/upper-middle-class as well.

I've known several caribbean people and all of them gets insanely angry if you refer to them as black. I've never seen someone hate black people more than a Jamaican guy.

African Americans are a distinguished, monolithic ethnic and cultural group. Middle class African and Caribbean immigrants will have more in common with white Americans than with bakestballs.
The same applies to Argentines and Brazilian tourists vs your average Central American cholo immigrant

The difference is that second generation Caribbeans will start to slowly gravitate towards and integrate to the local black culture. You see the same here where Islanders dress in suits to go to McDonalds and are well behaved, but their kids just associate with other Maoris and start becoming "one of the boyz G, too much".
Assimilation has a clear racial component.

even more clear when I started noticing all these asian americans who are half-chinese half-japanese or some other mix of nationalities who are associating based on racial phenotype rather than culture-of-origin. I think mutt-asians will outnumber hapas in this country for quite a long time.

Most white people don't seem to grasp why, the best comparison I can think of is: imagine if a lot of poor white people lived in China and all the same mechanics were in place, including history of slavery, strong disparity in crime, cop shootings, White Lives Matter, Chinese being hyperprotective of white people and casting uggo whites in every movie, etc. Would you really respect these people behaving like that?

Lol there were never enough black or Asian kids at my schools for them to be segregated. There was some segregation between the White kids and the Chicano kids, but not completely. Most White kid tables had a couple token culturally White Latinx kids and the Latinx tables had a couple of culturally Mexican White kids.

The school nearish to me stopped out of school suspensions and some other punishments, but still has a terrible "equity score" because the black students scores and grades didn't improve at all https://www.greatschools.org/wisconsin/shorewood/1723-Shorewood-High-School/
https://www.shorewood.k12.wi.us/apps/pages/equity
They still have a big digital sign out front that displays "BLACK LIVES MATTER ❤️" yet they have a below average woke score so I guess there initiatives are failing

The solution to the problem is really simple:
Create spaces for the smart to exceed, keep the riff raff far from people who have a shot at success in life. Wanting to swap will mean retaking your standardized test so a desire to improve your lot in life allows a path for improvement. Easy

Wrong. Black culture is the disease not black genetics.
You beat their parents until they start using positive reinforcement and celebrating good grades from their kids and suddenly you will see a 2-3x multiplier in the quality of black kids.

the "social scientists" in the relevant positions of power don't believe in reality. they believe in feel good lies, and they would have no qualms destroying the world if that's what it takes to preserve the feel good lies in their heads.

Even if IQ is inherited it probably doesn't take that long (in evolutionary terms) for a group's average IQ to rise. Ashkenazi IQ is estimated to have jumped significantly within the last 500 years. You probably don't even need CRISPR if a strong culture of education or a some sort of environmental necessity for higher intelligence takes hold.

it doesn't matter where performance disparities come from, even if they're 100% caused by socio-economics
the disparities currently exist, and they are big. and none of the education reforms of the past 30 years could reduce them.
your belief in the eventual equity of all DNA doesn't matter. even if the disparities would disappear by themselves within ten years, the "social scientists" in charge can't tolerate even one year of disparate outcomes. everything has to be Harrison Bergeron all the time.

disparate impact nonsense is destroying the west. according to that logic if more than 14% of black kids get low scores, the test must be racist. no other possible explanation allowed.

This is nice, but the easier solution is to gender segregate and then the boys who get kicked out get sent to military boarding school.
