About Buppie

The DC Buppie

I once was told that as a professional person, it is important that one have a solid introduction. A pitch of some sort… Well this is buppietheblog, so EFF all dat!

I am the DC Buppie. Straight up,

I am unapologetically black/negro/African American.

I grew up middle class. I only recently came to this conclusion, because my parents made us feel broke.

I will admit, that as apart of my comfortable lifestyle I can be pompous, siddity, OK and EVEN bit uppity.

I balance my little bit of sassiness and attitude with some saavy smarts (both book and streets).

I work hard but I laugh even harder, and often times at others expense.

YOU can expect me to bring you true buppielife in Hi-Def. (With a bit of sarcasm and wit.)

What makes you a Buppie?

The following defines a list of why I consider myself a Buppie:

(Disclaimer: This may not be what makes you a buppie, but it’s why I am a Buppie.)

I have a great job, hence the professional part.
I like to explore the arts and all things worldly. No! I am not stuck or set on the “hood” lifestyle.
Me live in the suburbs?? Do I look barefoot and preggers??! Hayle naw. A true Buppie lives in the midst of where it’s goes down. A CITY. Even if you don’t live there…you are close enough to spend most of your time there and not milking cows. and spend most of your time there.
I have Loot. Come on! A True buppie’s has to have a good cash flow. We understand it’s important to maintain good credit to buy land, cars, stocks and clothes.
My friends are buppies. You are who you hang with and me and my people’s have discriminating buppie taste.
I read. A good buppie reads books. All the things white people dont want you to know, they put in books. Buppie’s must READ to keep up.
