Bourgeoisie is as bourgeoisie does

People are really quick to call something or someone "ghetto"...but call those same people bourgeoisie and they will find a million and one reasons to not accept said label.

But let's be truthful...some of y'all are bourgeoisie or BOUGIE or BOUZHIE or siddity or uppity or whatever you would like to call it. This all started when I went to brunch with my friend for her birthday. We go all the way back to the sixth grade.  So we've seen each other grow into adulthood...with several funny stories along the way. 

Anywho...while at brunch, she noticed that the environment seemed to draw a certain type of people. I said yeah...bourgeoisie. She said, "I don't think the people are bourgeoisie...just not ghetto."  I said, "Nah... they are bourgeoisie.  Take a look at them...The natural hair chicks are all bohemian chic...the permed chicks are all Uptown fancy.  They are bourgeoisie. LOL"

I mean, who other than bourgeoisie folks would eat at a place that served food that looked like this:

She said, "I mean, I like the atmosphere." I said, "That's because you're bourgeoisie too. LOL"

Truth is...a lot of people are in bourgeoisie denial. They even get downright offended when you call them bourgeoisie.  It ain't that serious. There is nothing wrong with being bourgeoisie, unless you don't know it. So...how do you know if you're bourgeoisie, MsYBBG?

I'm glad you asked...

• On the weekends...bourgeoisie people don't have breakfast or grab lunch, they DO BRUNCH
• Bourgeoisie people eat everyday pickups (finger foods) with appetizer forks and silverware
• Bourgeoisie people don't eat the grissle off the chicken...LOL

• If you have a small dog living in your house wearing t-shirts...get yourself a baby tee that says "My dog thinks I'm bourgeoisie" because you are...
• Calling shopping at the Salvation Army or Goodwill "thrifting" shows you are bourgeoisie. 
• Bourgeoisie men get spa treatments and don't just hit the barber on Saturday mornings
• Dating someone based on their fraternity or sorority affiliation makes you bourgeoisie
• If you don't know what "Buy here, pay here" is... you may be bourgeoisie.... 
• Bourgeoisie folks trade cookouts in for sushi nights and wine tastings...
• Weaves are "hair pieces" in a bourgeoisie person's world
• Bourgeoisie dudes tailor everything...down to their socks, white tees, and draws (Seriously...I know you can't breathe...you look uncomfortable...can't even bend your arms...lol)

I said all of this in fun... I happen to fit a couple of these bullet points... If you can't poke fun at yourself, why poke fun at other folks? Before you call someone ghetto...consider that they may be normal and you're just bourgeoisie.
