I'm right in the middle, so I don't feel any social class effects. You don't see too many impoverished people talking to big CEO's though.

my view on this is, ofcourse there's a social class, whoever says there isn't is an idiot and hasn't been in a real society....but most times in the majority of neighbourhoods there is no class to the naked eye, muthafucaz sittin on 24s can be broke as fuc and no one would guess it....I said majority because there still is some neighbourhoods that social class is easy to spot, like for example, U would quickly spot an Oakland lower class type of dood in a place like Bel Air or somethin and vice versa....unless that person disguises himself. I dunno....there's alot of different angles to this issue.

^ you're talking about material wealth as the measure of class..

but thats not the only indicator...


you can be upper class.. and be poor as shit

wtf are you talking about?  the only distinguishing factor on class is your wealth.  and of course social class exists in america, and the gap between the wealthy and poor is just getting bigger and bigger, with less and less middle class.

class has nothing to do with anything but wealth.  You cannot be upper class and be poor as shit.  if you are poor as shit then you are lower class, hence the name, "lower class"

why would someone be considered upper class if they were poor as shit?  wtf would make them "upper"?
