Yeah I get mistaken for Michael Jordan all the time.

Since I was a kid, I’ve noticed that blacks have a tendency to think that expensive cars are the pinnacle of attainment. I grew up in a fairly rich neighborhood, but it would be the poor blacks who I would see driving flashy, expensive cars. Seemed ludicrous to me.

Part of black dysfunctional culture I guess.

Though you may not drive a great big Cadillac
Gangsta whitewalls
TV antennas in the back
You may not have a car at all
But remember brothers and sisters
You can still stand tall
Diamond in the back, sunroof top
Diggin the scene
With a gangsta lean, wooh-ooh-ooh
Diamond in the back, sunroof top
Diggin the scene
With a gangsta lean, wooh-ooh-ooh
Diamond in the back, sunroof top
Diggin’ the scene
With a gangsta lean, wooh-ooh-ooh
Diamond in the back, sunroof top...

Michael B. Jordan is a very successful, well paid actor. At his income level, driving a Ferrari is like a middle-class yahoo like me driving a Chevy.

What the hell does his skin color have to with anything in this story?!?

Here is what an intact 812 Superfast looks like. I may be a bit dysfunctional myself since I sort of like it.

Nice way to generalize there. There are also white dysfunctional families. Dysfunction is not native to one race.

I know a couple that got a windfall through inheritance. It all came from a lawsuit. Anyway, great couple but the first thing he did was buy a brand new Corvette. 3 kids and he buys a Corcette. 😂
