I consider myself bougie. I don’t think I’m better than anyone else, but I like nice things and carry myself in a manner where people have to come to me correct. I value myself and my time and require people to treat me as such. I personally don’t mind when people call me bougie. My opinion and my experience - black people use the term “bougie” to be extremely negative towards black women because of their own insecurities. It’s used to tear us down and hold us back. I have been called bougie because I “went to college”, “moved away from my hometown”, “have goals”, etc. It’s honestly stupid. I refuse to let people who have chosen not to live outside of their bubble make me feel as if something is wrong me because I chose to live outside of what I grew up seeing. Being bougie shouldn’t be negative to those of us who are being called bougie. It’s only negative to those who refuse to grow. Let them be the negative ones and let us embrace the bougie life we worked hard for.
Same here love! People think it’s an insult and it’s like no, I just like the finer things in life and know I deserve just that! Thank you for watching!
I prefer “classy” than “bougie”, bougie is a backhanded compliment usually and its definitely from people’s insecurities. A lot of times the very people calling a woman bougie are the condescending bougie ones in my experience.
I agree. Classy usually means “I look up to you” (like they wish they were classy too or I want to be friends with you because I need more classy friends while bougie is, “You ask for too much or you're extra (and I don't think you deserve it)”.
So by trying to not be a stereotype you’re confirming you believe it to be true. By trying to be something, you’re subconsciously indicating you ain’t it and the universe knows you’re faking.
They want to fit us in a box because boxes that folks can file away makes them feel comfortable and organized. When you can't be placed in a stereotype box, then they have to actually see you as a fellow/complex human being. It blows their mind that a woman with brown/black skin that they grew up feeling inadvertently (or purposefully) superior to via means of familial anti-blackness tropes, social obsession with skin color and loose/long hair,to media - has now broken all those molds they put previous bw in. Their minds simply can't take it. You don't want to dance, cuss, and be loud at their will? It annoys them.
I get called boogie all the time and I never wear anything expensive. It’s very interesting and when they call you boujie it’s literally a backhanded compliment. People hate rich black women it’s like we stole something from them. Yes you are right our confidence makes them so mad
Same. I literally just have goals, won't date a man who doesn't have his stuff together and likes “bougie” events. I rather be at a gala or church than at a club or a BBQ. I need AC 😭
Explain that you're not bougie but bourgeois. There's a distinct difference between the two. Being bourgeois means "comfortably middle class". Being bougie means spending more money than you can afford to _look_ comfortably middle class.
People always call me boujie. I'm not rude or mean but black people always call me this. I get offended by it because i know it's meant to be offense. I honestly think it comes from insecurities . They hate that I'm different smh.
Girl if somebody calls you bougie and you know they’re being offensive you just give them that million Dollar smile and tell them it’s because you can afford to be. Don’t let them hate on you because you’re happy
The reason it's so problematic is because they constantly place the bougie black woman in spaces with no other bougie people, let alone black people. When you mix classes you have certain issues like with the show Moesha. It's hard to explain but the black community has no concept of class differential. This is why so many of the men think they are entitled to the attention of a successful black woman when they themselves are bus drivers. There wouldn't be a problem if there were more healthy, well rounded bougie black women shown enjoying life with other bougie women and affluent men in a sitcom or movie. The fact that there's always some issue that is usually adjacent to the lower class people in her circle let's me know that she's in the wrong environment. I dont know I just feel like it's done intentionally.
I think what you're calling a class issue is more likely a cultural one. I've only ever heard black women speak disparagingly of bus drivers for example. The cultural difference also explains the supposed "Black Wife Effect" too.
I think the movie Deliver us from Eva did show at least black middle class people living there lives amongst each other. Or what about fresh prince of bel air? Most of the characters from there were affluent. But I definitely agree that bp intentionally blurr the class lines between us. Crabs in a barrel mentality at its finest.
I’ve been called bougie throughout my life, mostly by black men. At this point I just take it as a compliment because from what I’ve been told I carry myself with a certain amount of poise and grace. An I know I want the best in life and would like to live a certain lifestyle. I know what I want and when I want something I get it. I realize that me embracing my bougie side has been keeping the dusties away lol jkn. 😂
To me people who are intimidated by black woman living a luxurious lifestyle or bougie.... However you define it. IS NOT black woman problem... Go for it as a black woman WE have the RIGHT to CREATE the type of lifestyle WE WANT ESPECIALLY IF YOU WORKING AND EARNING THIS YOURSELF... SOCIETY. Does NOT DEFINE ME OR US BW unless we CHOOSE to accept it... So Ladies EMBRACE it. Nothing WRONG WITH BEING BOUGIE AND Living the life you want.
I live in NYC and I was walking down the street literally minding my business and a young BLACK MAN literally said ooouu you LOOK like you bougie (no smile on his face or nothing)...😕 Literally minding my own business and already getting attacked. Some people rather see us down and out than happy and confident. How dare we create a beautiful life for ourselves SMH people are weird🤷🏾♀
Im not going to lie. I have always gone for the bougie women. I like that they aren't phased by attention. I find comfort knowing she is going to walk right past other men, without even attempting to entertain a guy trying to approach her. Only when she is not high maintenance though. A lot of woman get attention drunk and that's one of the main causes of infidelity today.
Yessss being bougie shouldn’t entail being disrespectful, cheating, or being entitled. Being bougie is an aura and a way of life that should draw positive attention!
I feel like there’s a difference when you talk about the boujie black womens you mentions. To put it, there’s the high-value women ( the one who, looks good, genuine, has or finds a man that will be there for the man that tries his hardest to make her happy and have goals chase them by being productive instead of clubbing it up all the time) vs the low-value women (the bad bitch)(no goals, attention seeker, shit personality, only money driven, gold digger, and usually going after the wrong men who treats them garbage).
@@thevegaexperience8584nobody idolizes that. That’s all in your head. Many people see that as superficial and used to mask your massive insecurities. Anybody who wants to obtain the subjective designation of high value is insecure. Value is subjective.
@@davruck1I'm white and have been trying to figure out why black men and women seem to constantly be at each other's throats. Part of the problem seems to be the disconnect between what black women and men find "high value". (BTW I want to note that seeing people describe themselves or others as "high value" is absolutely bizarre to me.) I purposely just said "men" there instead of "black men" there because black women seem think the amount of money they make makes them high value to men, but no man (regardless of race) particularly cares about that. A woman's personality, general demeanor and looks matter more than anything to pretty much every man on the planet.
I don't think there's a personality that should be associated with bougie black woman I think it's more about their wealth Prosperity intelligence. I don't think it's about their personality, and I think a bougie black woman being full of their self is just a stereotype.
I'm consider being "bougie" because I'm like expensive things plus also like you said I'm really do like the fashion, the getting nails & hair done by the way, but I'm also stay humble because I'm dont wanna my ego is treating people like I'm better than you treat people how you wanna be treated and also what funny tho is that for a example: I'm think about my girl Saweetie because some guys look at her as she too good for guys for guys who have regular jobs but she want 8 figures guy but also she is all about her business so that I'm think I'm feel Saweetie's personality is rubbing guys the wrong way cause that is her type (and it's nothing wrong with that) but overall it's okay to be bougie but just stay humble that all 😌💅🏾💋
I can relate! I haven’t really had an issues with black men. (Dusties are invisible to me. So I don’t see nor care about their thoughts lol) But I do get push back from other black women for having standards. But I do think in some cares some black women can be bougie, but it doesn’t mean you can be rude to people. There needs to be a balance. I think a lot of the negative stereotypes come from black women that may have resources, but they act and treat people as if they are better and others are beneath them. And because of that, any black women with class or resources gets treated and looked at as such regardless of who they really are. It’s a shame. But we gotta start speaking up for ourselves more I guess lol
True indeed you can have wealth and be bougie but you don't have to be rude and treat people like they are beneath you... I'm all about the bougie lifestyle and I think black woman should embrace it.
Given that in this video bougie black women think they're great, have "an energy that makes everyone look at them when they walk into a room", are the originators of pretty much all popular fashions, are "amazing", and are the "stars of everyone's life around them" (!) do you understand how people may get the idea that bougie black women think they're better than others? You yourself refer to "dusties" who are "invisible" to you. Are you getting push back from other black women for having standards or for coming off as conceited and overly self-satisfied? I'm not trying to criticize black women for seeking material prosperity; I wouldn't criticize anyone for that. That being said I think some bougie black women should reel in the "how awesome are we?" talk a bit. It rubs people the wrong way and to some absolutely reeks of insecurity.
Why do they want to see us suffering? 😂 Please. Drip me in diamonds, get me the house help and give me the growth-stunted high maintenance dog. I wasn't born to be in lack
I don't know if you saw this yet but Aba and Preach just made a commentary on your video regarding pretty priviledge, maybe a video idea can commentate on what they said? No matter what I love this channel it is so underrated! ❤
My fiancé calls me bougie/Karen sometimes and I am from the west coast (living close Hollywood/LA) and even though I am mixed my personality gives off white valley girl 😂 I’m not a “buy me a Birkin bag or else” type of bougie though. I just was raised in a middle class family in the suburbs and been around a certain class of wealth. And when you live like that you know it’s obtainable. But at some point long story short my adopted parent kicked me out as a child so I was very humbled. My fiancé is from a small town in the south in the country so he’s never just been out in the city but I’m from THE CITY lol. I come from where everyone is on drugs has fake hair fake nails fake everything. I’m a really natural sweet woman. I’m soft spoken submissive I just like my things a certain way because I know it can be done😂 but I’m literally the type of person to damn near clean the table for the waiter when I get done eating, always saying yes sir yes ma’am. I don’t know what to call it but it’s not bougie.
Real bougie or high maintenance women don’t going around calling themselves bougie or whatever. Ppl know that they are by their presence and way they carry themselves. It’s the way they grew up, women who grew up in lower class or working class are not bougie. They simply creating a lifestyle and faking a persona
Enyatta Landreaux I disagree with the last part. I grew up poor but I joined the military and I've always carried myself a certain way and love getting my hair and nails done and I like nice things so my family calls me bougie whenever I go home to visit them. Just because a person might have grown up poor doesn't mean they can't be bougie. 🤷🏾♀️
@@AfroPrincessDiaries real bougie is exactly what I said. You are born into it just like class you either have it or you don’t. Bougie is more than just material things.
Fun fact Lisa in saved by the bell they actually had a white girl who they wanted to cast until they saw lake vorhies and changed the whole way the character was supposed to be Lisa character was supposed to be a good Christian all American girl and they changed it when they saw how good lake was
my girl is the same way lmao only thing i "hated" abt her is she tried to be so cold towards me but as soon as i just fell back on tryna get her..her friends telling me she couldn’t stop bringing my name up smh. i love that girl tho been 2 yrs strong now
If they become these mean bullies or put other bw down as if they’re above them then yes that’s a problem but u have non bougie bw who behave the same way so
From the perspective of many people, wealth and a luxurious lifestyle belongs to white women. There is no need to question why it belongs to them. There is a need to question a wealthy black woman.
My cousin made a comment about white boujee ppl and then said wait thats you and laughed im like what uhhh ok...Im black and im not boujee..But i did make something of myself I have a mother on crack father not in my life until 15 and i was raised by grandmother and aunt who did thr very best by keeping me safe and alive...That black Girl now Woman became a Nurse...Its about breaking generational curses and building generational wealth and good habits starting..Even then at a young age dreamed of a better life for me..If thats boujee i will take it..
I'm just gonna say it, guys aren't trynna bring you down because you're a "confident black woman" and that they don't like that. Almost all the guys I know, especially the white dudes, like seeing successful black people. What us guys don't like is cockiness, entitlement, and money being this giant goal in a woman's life. No guy wants to settle with a woman like that. It ain't cause you're black, it ain't cause you're a woman, it ain't cause we don't like seeing a confident woman; we want a confident women, but it's cause we got an issue with the utter entitlement women have today, no matter what color.
You guys think the most minuscule things make a woman cocky, entitled, or seeking someone else’s money. I don’t struggle with dating or finding a man that wants me and will easily provide me with anything I want. My goal is to be with someone on a deeper level besides the materialistic and surface aspects. Black men primarily tend to try to bring down confident black women period. We can’t show an ounce of confidence without y’all thinking it’s entitlement or cockiness. And I promise it’s not all black men because the black men in my life love the aura I give and the confidence I have. It’s definitely not white men either because they love a confident sister. How about we all come together and stop trying to bring each other down? We get that enough from outside of our race. Good day.
@@ToniBryanneTV Exactly! Black men always tried to bring me down by insulting me or calling me names because of how I carry myself. Why should I settle for less than i give in a relationship? There is nothing wrong with wanting someone who can match me in every aspect. Thankfully I was able to find that in my husband who happens to be Asian.
You basically proved her point. You hate her confidence and the fact that she knows what she likes and doesnt bend that for anything. Its not entitlement its knowing your worth. Money and financial security should everyones goal. Maybe if you worked on your own financial insecurities your manhood wouldn’t be rooted in breaking confident women down.
"No-one expects the Black woman to achieve this level of excellence"... Tracey Chapman, Tyra Banks, Diana Ross (that sparkly dress), Tina Turner, Sade, Skin from Skunk Anansie, Grace Jones, Whitney Houston, Halle Berry, Jada Pinkett-Smith, Nina Simone, Missy Elliott, Lisa Lopez, Beyonce, Noami Campbell, Ella Fitzgerald, W.Goldberg, lizzo.. These were/are famous, glamorous, wealthy, positively portrayed, black women who embody what being a successful woman is. Yet they stay humble. I truly don't think boujee is restricted to a race or gender as I see it portrayed in all and even see it in public. I see you are mostly honing in on TV Personalities to define the boujee meaning and that does make sense, however it is a large sweeping statement from the start by you. I thought I'd add a bit more context to add depth... I get that we are talking about "presentation" of boujee in the fact they got all that and more going on and I love confidence (a person with confidence can be seen as intimidating to those with none, be it male or female) but sometimes that exceeds the competence or comes across as you say a bit snobbish or Bratty. If you have haters I hope it's likeky because they can't knock you, or just poor at communicating their differing views without trying to enforce it upon others.
i think black women should reclaim the bougie black woman trope because in reality they are always thriving 🤎
Yessss love the trope😍

I didn't see a problem with the bougie black woman in the past, but it can be problematic now, especially when the woman is not in touch with reality.
If they become these mean bullies or put other bw down as if they’re above them then yes that’s a problem but u have non bougie bw who behave the same way so
From the perspective of many people, wealth and a luxurious lifestyle belongs to white women. There is no need to question why it belongs to them. There is a need to question a wealthy black woman.
My cousin made a comment about white boujee ppl and then said wait thats you and laughed im like what uhhh ok...Im black and im not boujee..But i did make something of myself I have a mother on crack father not in my life until 15 and i was raised by grandmother and aunt who did thr very best by keeping me safe and alive...That black Girl now Woman became a Nurse...Its about breaking generational curses and building generational wealth and good habits starting..Even then at a young age dreamed of a better life for me..If thats boujee i will take it..

I'm just gonna say it, guys aren't trynna bring you down because you're a "confident black woman" and that they don't like that. Almost all the guys I know, especially the white dudes, like seeing successful black people. What us guys don't like is cockiness, entitlement, and money being this giant goal in a woman's life. No guy wants to settle with a woman like that. It ain't cause you're black, it ain't cause you're a woman, it ain't cause we don't like seeing a confident woman; we want a confident women, but it's cause we got an issue with the utter entitlement women have today, no matter what color.
You guys think the most minuscule things make a woman cocky, entitled, or seeking someone else’s money. I don’t struggle with dating or finding a man that wants me and will easily provide me with anything I want. My goal is to be with someone on a deeper level besides the materialistic and surface aspects. Black men primarily tend to try to bring down confident black women period. We can’t show an ounce of confidence without y’all thinking it’s entitlement or cockiness. And I promise it’s not all black men because the black men in my life love the aura I give and the confidence I have. It’s definitely not white men either because they love a confident sister. How about we all come together and stop trying to bring each other down? We get that enough from outside of our race. Good day.
@@ToniBryanneTV Exactly! Black men always tried to bring me down by insulting me or calling me names because of how I carry myself. Why should I settle for less than i give in a relationship? There is nothing wrong with wanting someone who can match me in every aspect. Thankfully I was able to find that in my husband who happens to be Asian.
You basically proved her point. You hate her confidence and the fact that she knows what she likes and doesnt bend that for anything. Its not entitlement its knowing your worth. Money and financial security should everyones goal. Maybe if you worked on your own financial insecurities your manhood wouldn’t be rooted in breaking confident women down.
@@ToniBryanneTV 👏👏👏👏👏
"No-one expects the Black woman to achieve this level of excellence"... Tracey Chapman, Tyra Banks, Diana Ross (that sparkly dress), Tina Turner, Sade, Skin from Skunk Anansie, Grace Jones, Whitney Houston, Halle Berry, Jada Pinkett-Smith, Nina Simone, Missy Elliott, Lisa Lopez, Beyonce, Noami Campbell, Ella Fitzgerald, W.Goldberg, lizzo.. These were/are famous, glamorous, wealthy, positively portrayed, black women who embody what being a successful woman is. Yet they stay humble. I truly don't think boujee is restricted to a race or gender as I see it portrayed in all and even see it in public.
I see you are mostly honing in on TV Personalities to define the boujee meaning and that does make sense, however it is a large sweeping statement from the start by you. I thought I'd add a bit more context to add depth... I get that we are talking about "presentation" of boujee in the fact they got all that and more going on and I love confidence (a person with confidence can be seen as intimidating to those with none, be it male or female) but sometimes that exceeds the competence or comes across as you say a bit snobbish or Bratty.
If you have haters I hope it's likeky because they can't knock you, or just poor at communicating their differing views without trying to enforce it upon others.
I’m her and don’t care ♒️💜
Where's the evidence?
