It's not just the rims. It's the amount of gold in their mouth, how degrading they can be to women, and how much they spend on their cars/SUVs as opposed to where they live. This is not directed to only A-A, but also any group of males who imitate them in the same ways.

I don't really know much about that, but I do know that.. Those kinds of things were probably things that many of them could not afford when they were younger so when they got older with some money, they prove they have money by owning these things. In other countries, fatter or larger people are seen as rich, because they can afford food.
It seems like a dumb comparison, but seriously.. It connects.
Maybe it doesn't make sense to you, but sometimes it's easier if you look at it from their perspective. If all of your friends dressed that way, and wanted these things, the influence may seem silly to follow but all in all.. It becomes difficult to avoid.
I for one agree with you, but it's important to view all perspectives before making a judgement.

It's the same as white people. Just with a little bit of flavor on it. White people buy. Diamond tennis bracelets, and Jaguar's, and have a mistress on the side of there wife. Have you ever seen Paris Hilton? Or watched that show on MTV called the hills and the OC? I guess it's just to show how much money you have.

The bling-bling fills a void in their culture much like the endless accumulation of money does to people of all colors. Why do cowboys wear bigger and bigger belt buckles? Why do polygamists acquire multiple wives? Status. Status. Status.

sometimes white people do it. For example: Paul Wall, Bubba Spraxxxx, Emiem. I'm a black person and I don't have rims on my SUV. I could ask you why don't white people pay their employee's good wages? Why do try to keep other race's from having finances? They don't even pay decent salarines! Why do they want to see black people with no money? Why don't they hire qualified black's for good jobs?

Where the hell did you grow up? You need to travel a bit more. What are you going to say next? That all African Americans can dance, love fried chicken and speak ebonics?? Everyone is an individual and we are all created equal.
