I think it's bigger than how others see it
At least for me. Materialism and the promotion of it is really damaging to the community - forget about what it looks like to White folk. You have people running out to purchase items they can barely afford and getting their homes foreclosed on and eviction notices pinned to their doors.
It's very toxic to the community. Probably one of its biggest challenges - and the promotion through rap has a lot to do with it. Flossin' on the gorls like you see in music videos but your lights are turned the hell off. 
Glad he's speaking on it.
This is very true, but this is the problem with African Americans. We are so happy to have that we show it off in an extreme way. Those without anything are not even taught that steps to be successful because we brag when we make it and want it to be exclusive to us. How many times a rapper go on instagram and use what they have as inspiration. No, tell us about how you hustled, tell us how you think, how you got past the mental road blocks and how to persevered after being told no. How you did not become a victim to your environment. I really love listening to Jay Z , many rappers can learn from him. Showing a garage with 3 Bentleys is not teaching us anything. We have to learn to educate each other like the Jews.
There are groups of people who literally make billions and billions off of dumb niggers. If you don't think Jews, Arabs, Asians and whites don't sit and have conversation about dumb niggers, and how to profit off of us you are silly.
