Get the no prep mug.A black prep isn't any different than any other "american individual" who dresses in the fashion of Preppy Americana Style. I.E (Ralph Lauren, Brooks Brothers, Martha's Vineyard Clothing, etc) A Black Prep, is just a minority of the American population who dresses in said above fashion, normally in the south, more pastel or bright colors are to be worn, as a male black prep and a southerner, I prefer the above clothing paired with a college fitted baseball cap, or quoddy mocs with no socks.
They don't always have to come from money. But, to afford most of these clothing a steady income form the parents or self is stressed. Also, Prep is more of a upbringing and a combo of some form of monetary gain. Needless to say, you don't have to own thousands of cars/vacation at the "right" spots to be preppy. Preppy is a fashion statement as well as a way of life, but the latter in my opinion is more about "class" how you carry yourself (good moral/social conduct),good finances(no debts/well credit/generous account)manners(important in the South),college degrees or higher education/FULL employment(mostly white collar jobs (but this varies) depending if the earnings are above national average.Modesty is key, never brag about your upbringing.

Preppy atmosphere lacking any type of diversity, unless you count the five black kids in every grade who were given an "academic scholarship" to play some type of sport. For a "Christian based school" it also has a large population of Jewish students.

Basically your typical college prep school for all the professionals (Doctors, Lawyers, and Businessmen) , who want to send their sons or daughter to "prestigious" schools, or avoid the public schools of the area.

They assign 5 hours of homework every night thinking the students are robots and dont have lives. Like seriously we have to wake up at 6:00 get ready, go to school, get home at around 3, do homework (5 hours), and still try to keep up with extra curricular activities, sports, and our social lives. If you go here, im so sorry! Most of the people who go here are the people who can't afford clothes, complain about why there arent enough free dress days, and then when its free dress day they wear the uniform.
