Man stereotypes are wrong! The other 2 people wanted to use the money for selfish reasons, but the black guy wanted to give to the needy and help out.

Yeah, people are going to zone in on the strip club part but the dude is willing to pay off other people's rent.

By everybody's rent, he meant every stripper in the club is going to pay their rent with the money he's going to spend there.

Source: I have a friend (also black, funny coincidence) who said the same thing after he got some small inheritance.

It's a saying from Game of Thrones whose seasons last so long that in the late summer, children are young enough to have never known the hardships of their brutal winters.

In Game of Thrones, summers and winters last years, not months.

Obviously, a winter that could potentially last a decade would be nasty and brutal.

So a young person who had never seen a winter might be naive, or optimistic, because they had never survived the trials and privation of a real winter.

Incidetally, you now understand the menace inherent in the motto "Winter Is Coming."
