Did you see the video where the pastor in Brooklyn got robbed at gunpoint during a church service? I don’t wish that on anyone. However, the truth is that it’s foolish to wear a million dollars worth of jewelry ANYWHERE in public. And it’s doubly disrespectful for a pastor in a poor and working class neighborhood to do such a thing.
Listen, again, I am not condoning armed robbery, but let me frame it another way. Would it be unethical for a man to walk down the middle of street in the hood with stacks of $1 million in cash? I say yes. It’s inviting danger and it’s tempting people who are struggling from day to day as it is. If you walked through the hood with a million dollars in cash in your hands, I would stop just short of saying you deserve to get robbed, but you damn near do.
Wearing $1 million in jewelry is the exact same thing. It’s flossing. In the worst way.
