It may be that way up there. I am forming opinions based on fact of what goes on down here...

No. You're going off what your brother said, and he was saying about what he saw. Not all drug dealers go around parading that fact.

I saw it too. I also saw a lot of white trash selling drugs, but a lot more straight up Gs. It just depends on where you go.

XD

Here in Flawduh,
much more black kids sell drugs, steal, and everything else at our school. I don't want to sound racist, but the majority of kids who sell the drugs, steal, and "hustle" the stolen things are black.

Around here it's mostly white trash that sells drugs, but then again my school's 90% white.

Here is a story from the city council meeting a few weeks ago.


There was a black man who owned property here, but lived in DC.

People were growing drugs on his land.

The city condemned his land and burned it.

He said they were racist.

Apparently, getting rid of drugs is racist..


I dunno if that was relevant. I just wanted to share it.

I think his point was they assumed he had something to do with the crops being grown.

Apparently, the state owns his property.

Apparently, the police don't need to show him a warrant.

Apparently, he was guilty of growing narcotics.

It must be nice to be Black and be able to play the race card. No offense to Black people. My boyfriend is half Black. It is just the Blacks who use their race as an excuse to get away with crime is who I have a problem with.

Judging by the percent of black males in jail/prison, you're dead wrong. 

From the Bureau of Justice Statistics via Wikipedia, "In 2002, roughly 93.2 % of prisoners were male. About 10.4 % of all black males in the United States between the ages of 25 and 29 were sentenced and in prison by year end, compared to 2.4 % of Hispanic males and 1.2 % of white males."

What do these statistics have anything to do with what I just posted? I never mentioned prison at all... I was simply stating that some black use the race card as an excuse to get away with certain crimes. I never said blacks were more predisposed to crime. So how am I wrong? Please, explain.

You're suggesting that black people can use being black as an excuse to get away with crimes.  Thats obviously false, because there are many black people in prison.  Meaning, either black people don't use being black as an excuse, or black people who use being black as an excuse obviously do not succeed in "getting away with it".

Anyway, like IZ said, its a product of the socioeconomic environment, not racial predisposition.

I think it depends on where you live....North or south....city or suburbs...farm country or a normal patch of land....

When I'm in downtown Pittsburgh, I see very very little racism/racist remarks. And the people who do/say it must be noobs at life....lol

In the suburbs (Moon Township lmao) you'll hear people throwing racist remarks around about 10x more than in the city.

When I was out at college in the farmlands with the amish (Westminster College), every last person was racist. No joke. It was rediculous. Even the teachers. They acted like they have only ever seen white skinned people. And yes, when I was as tan as a surferdude and unshaven, I was harassed for being mexican (and I'm german/serbian...lmao). It sucked.

When you're in the south it's not too visible in the public eye, but then again I've never been to Georgia and people in Texas are very nice to me (I think they think I'm a local with my ubertan)

I see people of all races stealing and committing crimes where I live. Most police where I live think it's OK to treat anyone as if they are nothing, for example searching people without probable cause.

People in Cincinnati can still get away with racism in downtown, because chances are black people are nowhere to be found.

[Thomas]

The cops aren't bad in the way they do their job (brutality and that sort of thing)....they're just bad at keeping down crime in this country.
