      While I can understand his syntax, I fail to understand the substance of that sentence.

      Now I’m curious how wealth can be utilized in a manner that pertains to African-Americans. Funding sickle cell anemia research?

        I think he is basically saying “I think that black people are bad. I also think that some billionaires are bad, but it’s #notallbillionaires . The innate badness that black people have and the bad billionaires have are the same, so I am going to call the bad billionaires black”. In other words, racist bullshit

          His “exceptions” are clearly the guy who can’t get through a press conference without rolling on molly (and has dozens of illegitimate children) the guy who talks with a vocal fry and practices “concerned face” in the mirror because he thinks it fools people into thinking he isn’t Patrick Bateman, and the guy who injects the blood of young people and gets stumped when the interviewer asks him if the human race should survive.

        N*gga rich is a term used by racists, and co-opted by rappers, to mean getting a small fortune and spending it on flashy ostentatious things.

      I don’t think that’s a neologism. It’s just the adjective to ‘negro’.

      Basically he thinks billionaires are ‘behaving black’.

        no, it’s not even a word. that wouldn’t even be the adjective to that word.

          no, it’s not even a word.

          It is though.

          that wouldn’t even be the adjective to that word.

          You are right there though. I’m not a native English speaker and thought that would be it. (Sounds like if I’d try to build that adjective in my native language though).

            that’s not the word I’m talking about. I’m saying the supposed adjective is not a word. it’s not your fault that you were confused as i said “word” twice referring to different things the Spanish word and the supposed adjective. it’s just that i really don’t want to type any of it so i said “that word” instead not thinking it would be confusing.
