How do they do it?

[The Godfather]

I have alot of black friends and some of their parents all work at lower paying jobs than mine. I don't know how they get to buy themselves Jerseys that cost over $70 a piece every week, a bunch of pairs of Jordans ($90+) Roca Wear jeans, original Sean John, etc.. My parents can't afford that, so how do they do it?

I see them come to school with new shoes every 2 weeks.

They can't steal it all man. I lived in a crappy ghetto neighborhood for over a year, and i have seen where they shop. I actually saw a guy buy 4 jerseys in 1 day. Thats over $300 on a piece of sh1t oversized shirt that rips easily.

Taking the fact i witnessed the guy walk in the local mall and buy 4 jerseys, then looking at their price tags.

Jersey's are so ugly. The whole "hip hop" image is chock full of bad taste, but the jersey leads the pack imo.

It's because they aren't whiny 16 year old punks who can't wait to leave the US to go back to Europe.

Credit Cards. I know of people with over $100k in CC debt. But hey, the guy has like 10 snowboards.......

Drug money.

Probably drugs. It's not just blacks either. It's anyone that wants to be ghetto fab.

Take Dominik for example

No. They are ignorant, 16 year old thug-wanna-be's that ruin this country's image.

Well there must be a certain amount of debt you owe where it leads to getting arrested or something of the sort? I'm not familiar with what actually happens.

poor money management.

You can buy a lot when you dont have to pay rent (HUD) or buy your own food (food stamps).
