I tried to walk away from this post several times, but something about it kept bothering me.  It took me a minute to figure out what it was.

It's racist. 

It perpetuates some very limiting stereotypes -  pretty much states that black folk have bad credit and don't have enought sense not to spend their money on stupid stuff. 

This is an open forum, but IMO, there could have been a less offensive approach if the true intent was to offer financial tips to young people or those inexperienced with money management.


Peace.

Not sure about racism, but certainly picked up a hint of self hate.
