    Chris Rock also touched on this. Chris Rock said whìte people “long for” “the good old days” with Trump, for example, resonating with whìte Amerìca in wanting to make Amerïca great “AGAIN.” Chris Rock said for Błack people, there were no “good old days.” There was no “great Amerīca” that Błack people want to go back to. He said no days are greater for any Błack people than the days today, regardless how bad it is, it’s better for Błack people than it was. While the past is “good old days” for whìte people, better days for Błack people are always in the future since no Błack person “longs” to have been born in the past. At any time. 😞

    I find it interesting how so many people in the comments section say "trevor is wrong. My situation is different, I choose to have old things." When the conversation, ultimately isn't a few unique experiences, but the humorous take on valuing old items vs new, and the lack of choice many people have due to living circumstances. Talking about race makes people tense up and worry their life or persona is being labeled as evil, when, in truth, the conversation was never about a moral verdict of the audience, but a vulnerable documentary of the storyteller's lived experiences and how racism in overt and non-overt ways affected them.

    It’s not about being rich. If your entire life you were forced to pick up and use old dressers outside from what people threw away and dreamt of having a new one, you will not likely pick a vintage when you can afford a modern brand new one because the vintage is something you will now be sick of. It’s the same with any example. If you grow up in really hot parts of the world with little to no electricity, a safari or camping will be the last place you want to go on a holiday. It will take some time before you have a taste for those things again.

    @@Etunu I appreciate that, but by not rich I mean I grew up working class, and I’m barely lower middle class but not really because of student loans. it only takes one garbage ikea dresser that tips over with a stiff breeze to realize new doesn’t necessarily mean quality. I grew up in a house with exclusively thrifted or hand me down furniture, and I I think I’ve bought three pieces of new furniture in my life. One was a three hundred dollar recliner that wouldn’t stay reclined. Sold it. Bookshelves for like 150 that didnt have the holes drilled, returned it. And an ikea bed frame for like 550 and it’s just ok. I think I’m going to save up for a high quality sofa that’s made in the USA, but it’s going to be like 5k. In the meantime I’m thrifting because I’m not going to drop 2k on an ikea sofa that is going to crap out and detracts from my ability to buy the sofa that will last. I worked for a very fancy housewares brand, and i learned that a lot of housewares is total garbage designed for landfills. I also learned that having the high quality version of the tool saves you a lot of money in the long run. My $80 blender never worked right from day one. My vitamix bought on sale for 300 works and is going to last decades. I’m not going to buy an instapot because it’s a sub par version of three different small appliances. Instead I’m going to thrift the high quality versions of those three appliances or go without. I will go buy brand new high quality cookie sheets, but I just got a vintage Les cruiset pot for fifty bucks on eBay. I just refuse to hand over hard earned money to greedy companies for garbage. If I have to get garbage I’ll try to at least buy it second hand.

    Gotta agree with Trevor on his take here. Antiques 😬 Not really a fan. My family was in the low middle class and I grew up with passed down furniture until we could buy a new one. Some we didn’t replace ever because it’s not a priority. At the moment I live with my husband and kids in a passed down house built in the 1970s and I’m dreaming of someday being able to afford a brand new modern house and throwing all the old furniture away. My husband has the same perspective but for different reasons. He went to school with 1800s Spanish architecture from elementary to high school and has hated anything that looks “vintage” since then. Bottomline: what you grew up with has a significant impact on your adult preferences 😁

    I dont deny that happens, but there are many, many variations. I'm not in the US, and my relatives keep a lot of old time stuff as "decorations"... old stuff they used, in the same house they have been living for, well, more than a hundred years now (the family, not them, although some of them are 90+). The kitchen, for example, has 3 stoves, the original stone fireplace that was the only one at the beginning, the iron stove they use as heating in winter and sometimes to cook something in particular, and a gas one. There are old oil lamps they keep now as ornament, but they used around 1930 or earlier. But yea, I can be as Trevor says too. The equivalent of buying ripped jeans. A related phenomenon I really, really hate is the "I went to on a holiday, and it was marvelous, people there are so happy, I really learned a lot about life from them, how to be happy with so little"... So little as what, exactly, being able to pay to travel the world? Do you realize that they live from your money and thus need to make a good impression and are happy to see the next meal coming? Do you really needed to see poverty to realize that happiness comes from the relationships you have with people? Dont you think they will happily trade places if they could and "learn so much" from living out of poverty?

    The day I bought my Bowls was the most pivotal one of my life, not because but although they're vintage looking. I had no choice because I needed the PERFECT size and shape. They're very large, enough for at least one big portion of whatever, yet small enough to not make a normal portion appear weird and they're NOT fully round so you can stack them with air flowing in and out which makes them dry faster. It also gives you different shapes to pour out of, it's not all the same curve. Organic shape bowls at the ideal size for you will change your world, I swear!!

    It’s so funny being poor white and choosing older things due to budget and honestly better quality, and people thinking we’re way more high income than we are due to “aesthetics”. We’ve been on government assistance a few times and they would TRY to take one look at us and say we don’t qualify, and I’d be like no look at our actual bank account and bills… so that’s definitely been an interesting perspective, having to constantly prove that your broke when it’s kind of the last thing you want to talk about. Having other broke people try to look at us for help when we’re all in the same boat, and I’ve often tried to help only to be screwed over each time.

    I feel like North Americans in particular have no sense of style place or occasion. The African women that I know from Kenya and other parts of Africa dress to perfection. They’re working their farms in dresses. I have yet to see somebody who is very impoverished from Africa, that dresses as poorly as we North Americans do. I dress every day when I go out. I dress more like a European of Italian ,French, Polish, Ukrainian woman would. I live in Canada and I am always being commented on because I dress well. I feel more confident that way. Part of it may be because my mom was raised by Victorian parents. She never worked outside of the home, but if she went downtown, she put a suit on. Today women wear sweatpants or yoga pants and think it’s the height of fashion. It’s so disappointing that we have lost any sense of style. I love listening to Bill Burr because he tells it as it is. White men need Black women in order to show them style. He’s married to a Black woman. She wouldn’t be seen in public with him with some of the things he wore. She has upped his game😉I love listening to conversations like this. It’s so illuminating. I wish I had a quarter of the style sense that many African women and black American women have.🤷🏼‍♀️

    He brings up race for two reasons. 1. He’s an African man who is living in the U.S. So generally people of color are a lot more poor than white people. 2. People of color have to present a certain image to get respect. White people can be individuals. So a Black or Latino person has to be well-dressed and surround themselves with nice things to not be discriminated. I’m Mexican but I can pass as white. My best friend is also Mexican and she’s dark-skinned. Because we often go out, I got to see firsthand that she had to be careful about what she wore to get the automatic respect I got.

    Idk what you're talking about. I'm white and I buy antique/vintage furniture because i can't afford anything other than ikea. I got 4 solid wood chairs for 15 dollars at good will. I can't buy one chair from Ikea for 15 euros. Same for my living room arm chair. I have a solid wood piece for 35, bucks. Yup it doesn't look great but it's solid and an Ikea arm chair cost more and will need to be trashed in a year's time. I get what you're saying. But white people are not a monolith. And Rich people everywhere have been doing this sort of shit sense forever and for a lot of people antiques and vintage furniture is their only way to access something durable.

    Eh, I'm going to call BS on this too. My mother, was born in Mexico and grew up very poor for many years, still loves to thrift shop and DIY furniture and all sorts of other things that were "connected to her poverty." It's a type of creativity that doesn't just look for the easiest and most obvious aesthetic that you can afford. Like many things, rich people sometimes put it on as a kind of affectation, but that's definitely not the only explanation for it. Trevor seems to be completely unaware of the many variations of people between very rich and very poor.

    I don’t agree with you, it takes healing to do that. If someone was forced to wear used clothes and had no other choice, when they do have a choice they will not want to wear used clothes for fun because it triggers their traumas. When they are healed and restored they can enjoy everything without the triggers but it takes time and healing from traumas. Your mum may not have been traumatized by those things or she was already healed when she could afford to have the choice to choose what to wear. If you are traumatized by living in a remote cold countryside house with nothing to eat, the last thing you will want to do is camp out in the cold unless you are healed.

But, the reason we slept in that small, somewhat uncomfortable bed was because my grandparents had slept in it for 70 years. Yes, they were poor farmers and I was poor as a child as well.

    I don't think it's a class aspect, I've know plenty of white folks that have been poor their entire life thst like antique and vintage things, it's not class based, it's cultural and sub cultural, I've also known very poor whites who do the opposite. It's not that simple Trevor is conflating "white" with inherently class privileged, even though white folks, even poor have a certain level of racial privilege, you can discount class aspects as if all white folks are middle class or above.
