Black Automobile Culture

[1srelluc]

A nice Caddy used to be their ride of choice but I've not paid any attention over the last several decades.

In my AO there are two black families of tradesmen, one runs a paving company and the other a concrete finishing company. I see more of them around than regular blacks.

How very racist of you.

There's a lot of rabidly racist account operators on this board. Historically the're rejects from other boards/forums, for the most part.

The foreigners and openly foreign first types who also routinely operate on here seem to find them to be useful, willing assets in carrying their water, I've noticed.

You learn a lot about people just by observing how they operate as you flip through the threads.

I didn’t read your entire post, but got the gist of it.

It’s well-established that blacks, as a group, historically have spent a disproportionate amount of their income on cars. This is not a new phenomenon. Back in the 1960s, when I was a young kid, it was noticeable that so many of the cars in the ghettos were Cadillacs - the epitome of luxury back then. Meanwhile, back in the middle-class suburbs where we lived, it was all Fords and Chevrolets.

I have no idea if this is still a thing in the inner-city, though.

Historically, African-Americans had limited (and cheaper) housing choices, so they could spend a greater share of their income on automobiles. Modernly, this has been reinforced by the prevalence of single parent households who can't afford better housing.

Who? Me, for not answering some nobody’s question, or YOU, some nobody who thinks he is entitled to and answer to his question?

You should think on this before you post more.

You are an idiot.

Whew! Then it's a good thing you didn't see what I wrote about you!

A basic observation of my high school social studies instructor back about mid-late 1960s.
Trend hasn't changed much over the decades.

Yeah, he's part of the trash we have too much of on this board.

I have read your posts, 0311. Your opinions mean nothing to me.

It's just another Leftist troll.

Sorry Komrade, your input has no merit.

Caddies used to be the ultimate car for blacks.

If you live in a beat up house and have a brand new car, I don't think your priorities are in order. I've known many white people, some only by name, some slightly better, who had beautiful Harley Davidsons that cost as much as a new car, and lived in a double wide trailer that probably cost less.

I, and many of my co workers, could have paid cash for a new vehcle, but we drive older cars and trucks. In fact, I still have my 1994 Chevy pickup that I bought in 1995. It runs like new, and still looks great, minus the rust in both cab corners. My car is a 2008 VW that looks like new.

It's all about choices, we accumulate money thru those choices we make, or we don't, also by those choices. Once we get to a place where we can pay cash, our habits usually keep us driving old cars that were paid for a long time ago. That is not necessarily a good thing, either, but it is a learned behavior, I can attest to it.

I thought Superfly had a Lincoln.

My own theory (be warned, it's a bit racist) is that black people tend to spend more on cars because they are simply not very good with finances. A lot of them don't know that cars are depreciating assets. They don't know that by owning a house and paying off the mortgage, they would be better off as they can build equity, which translates to increased net worth.

Chrysler 300 is the car of choice these days or a Lincoln Navigator
