Well, the race card got played at my wife's work the other night.

About half an hour ago, I stepped out on my deck to have a smoke.

You know, I almost had let this deal go...like different day, different issues, until this dude in a maxima comes speeding into our complex, doing about 40, which should be a a 10MPH zone. Rap was going off, shaking windows, etc. so it was all about "Hey, look at me!"
He wasn't out of his car yet, when the two trashy women who were with him, started mouthing off to a neighbor, who was simply out walking her dog. She tried to step aside, but they side stepped right back in front of her, asking "What's you problem beeech"?

Nothing...I'm just trying to take my dog to the grass, she said. We'll get the f@ck off this side walk...this is my sidewalk, B!tch. The woman's husband came out, and apparently he and the dude had words. The next thing I know, we have cops all over the place.

The two women and the dude got taken away by the cops.

This is a nice neighborhood. He's the only one of that type dude living here.

Another fine example. But soon, the liberal extreme will be here trying to be the devils advocate, trying to get us to accept this behavior, or justify it in some way. In some way, they are going to try and blame this woman and her husband for something, even though there is no blame on their part. It's just the way the world works, when a particular dude or class of dudes comes under some scrutiny for acting in a typical way, of these typical type dudes.

The story you have just seen is true. The race has been covered up to protect the integrity of the dudes involved. :laugh:
Now your "Ture Colors" are showing. I've seen that same type of behavior demonstrated by idiots of all races, mostly by teenagers and idiots in their early 20's.

Sorry Red, wrong button. Would you like to try another? I don't think the behavioral response you are looking for is in any of my buttons. Thanks for playing! ;)


You need to stop throwing out your race-baits or else many here will start to bite. Things like these happen all the time by all sort of people. Either you're trying to bash black people or you're looking for attention, maybe both. Either way, you look like a clown by talking about it. What's next, you going to discuss what happened at at the park?

I think that pretty much sums up this thread.

It's true. I am getting sick of people blaming everything on race. I think situations like that breed more racist people or maybe not full out racist people but more stereotypes. If you don't like stereotypes prove to those around you that those stereotypes are false.

I just have to say this, my family came here with nothing, and now we are better off than most whites. Blacks have been here for generations and their poverty rate is still extremely high.

Coming here as slaves and not knowing your history and culture can destroy a person, so don't try to compare yourself, an immigrant, to a people who came here against their will. Furthermore, African-Americans just got their full rights within the past generation. Finally, many of the early black activists (during the early 20th century) were either educated in Europe or came from the West Indies. There are many Africans and West Indians who come to America and prosper (they too were immigrants), just like you. So take your racist diatribes and suck it.

How can not knowing your history or culture destroy a person? I have no clue about my history and I'm not sitting around crying about it or counting on dead past relatives to help me. That is such a cop out. And what living blacks were brought here against their will?

Equal rights is just that. Equal rights to BOTH sides.

Calling her a ****** and playing the race card = bad form. I weep for their children and their grandchildren.

Who's children? We've raised some well balanced kids. I will give my wife most of that credit. They are now 24 and 27 years old, and both successful in their chosen jobs. :)

I was talking about the pair of black women.

Do you have a problem reading? I said that African-Americans have a serious problem here, not blacks in general. I don't know of any immigrants of African descent who come to America and fail. Immigrants, whether they are black or of any other race or ethnicity, don't have that problem at all. They come to this country to have a better life, end of story. The Jews that come here are immigrants as well, just like the other blacks from the West Indies (whose ancestors came as slaves as well). As for other groups in this country that have similar problems as blacks, just look at the native Americans. Those reservations are literally ghettos where unemployment and alcoholism is rife. It's quite a sad state if you ask me. Are the African-American and native American experience the same in America? No, but they are quite similar

It's not just African Americans. It's blacks all over. They cause a disproportionate amount of crime in the US, England, Canada, etc. Even in their homeland in Africa they are poor and crime-ridden. This closely correlates with lower IQ scores and lower SAT scores.

Does anyone want to debate this point?

Where did you grow up?

Back here in the Philly area, it's pretty well known who creates the problem and who doesn't. When I hear stories like the OP's, I am not surprised at all because that's considered typical behavior here. Crying the race card at all times is the norm. Blaming whitey is the norm. Acting like thugs is the norm.

I didn't come from some exclusive area where I had no exposure to that culture, I grew up in it. In fact, as I'm writing this post, I hear what sounds like a riot going down the street. It's not a riot, it's 4 black kids acting like animals. It is exceedingly rare to hear whites or Asians make that much noise. Please don't try to deny an obvious problem.

The overt racism in this thread is too much to let it continue!
