You don't know how that woman got that purse. Just because she had it doesn't mean that SHE bought it. She could have even bought it from Goodwill.

Yes, it could go that way, buuuuuuut...I think that we've all seen some examples of folx doing or owning things that they have no business doing or owning. We can of course give this sista the benefit of the doubt b/c anything can be the case. However, there is no denying that some people have their priorities out of order.
For example:
- kids in school w/no lunch money, no college fund, etc. yet w/the latest Jordans on (or whatever else is hot these days)
- folx w/fur coats on the bus (I just don't understand this b/c Id be concerned about being robbed, or just getting my coat dirty)
- sistas that can't pay the rent or keep the lights on, but have their hair and nails done regularly and stay dressed in Baby Phat or Juicy Couture
- or even the young lady on American Idol who was about to be evicted, but yet she was auditioning w/her family wearing t-shirts spelling out her name
I think that perhaps The General was alluding to these general situations that we see all of the time as an example of 1 step forward; 2 steps backwards.
