You are not telling us anything new, we know you hate Black folk because obviously every Black person must act the same way as the ones you met in Chicago where you became an expert. The real tragedy is a lot of Black people must hate all white people simply by using you as an example. You make all these justifications with statistics and making arguments as though liberals are the root for all policies and opinions. Skip the bullshit and get to the root of the matter, you do not like Black people and any information which confirms your feelings makes you feel justified in your feelings and that is good for you. But do not pretend that it is not an ignorant backwards small minded way of thinking and I am sure you feel more comfortable at the country club where "you people" can avoid those with any type of tan. Just because you hire minorities to cut your lawn does not make you a good person because we all know what your thinking of them as you sit inside your house watching to make sure they do not steal from you or eye your car.
Oh, I get it. Yeah, same here, that's why it's not funny ... why do you think I was trying to get away from there? Well, I'm sorry for your experiences ... and I'm sorry for mine too, but that's just how it is, I guess, coming from over 400 years of institutionalzied racism and slavery. The majority of my experiences with whites has been extremely positive ... but I get smacked pretty hard often enough (mostly psychic but sometimes physical, and when it's bad, it's bad) by ignorant white folks to let me know it's not all milk&honey here in America ... but I'll tell you what, I definitely will not let my negative experiences with white people (from childhold) deter me from the good ones ... that would be such a loss for me ... ... and there, I think, is where we part ways in the road.
Well lets state facts ASSHOLE. I've never lived in a suburb or belonged to a "country club". I live in two places. Chicago and South Florida. Both are minority-majority. What non-black suburb do you live in? And BTW: Anytime you like you can look me up and teach me my place. I'm the easiest guy on ET to find. I'll waste you in 5 seconds. One good thing about being a Chicagoan. I can still kick the shit out of punks half my age.
Please don't misconstrue that just because I don't like most blacks that I fail to judge people on a personal basis. I'm just being honest. What'll piss me off is someone from Canada or Europe will soon be telling me about living in harmony ect. Libs who live in all white suburbs are more prejudiced than white conservatives who live in cities or in the South. Surely you know the code phrases. âWe miss the city but we wanted to be some place with good (i.e. white) schools and where are kids would be safe.â (i.e. from blacks) It's like all the bleeding heart Dem's in D.C. who send their kids to Prep schools in VA.
Ah back to the topic at hand. Those are great stats Pabst, thanks for posting them. What I can only wonder about is what is happening in Marin and San Mateo County to produce the results which are not that far from a very high norm. For the others, well, we've addressed a lot of that situation in our posts between you and I, regardless of what other folks think. See, I understand the types of experiences you have had, and of course I agree that you should not associate with those types of people, hell, I most definitely do not want to associate with them either (just for the record folks, it's kill first, talk later with these people). The only problem is: a) not ALL blacks are like them (and like I said, they hate'em too) b) we can't get away from this negative element if we wanted to c) when we meet their white counter-part, we just have to deal with it, and we can't go around saying, "Oh, I hate all white people", because, well, that's just dumb.
I live in Chicago and I like living on the North Side. You would never catch me at 35th and King in the middle of the night, lol.
the only problem is the sample size..... If you were introduced to 500 cubans in your life time; you too may come up with an opinion that we are loud mo-fo's...does that mean that all Cubans are loud?? no...but if I was given a chance to bet even money on the loud Cuban scenerio; i'd have to take the over...You see, while Pabst's sample size may not be every single person in that sample, it is the only thing he can go by.....
Don't be harsh on Pabst. Denying the reality of his experiences is going to make him just as angry as denying the reality of mine (and like I said before, I catch it from both ends), and he feels like he is justified in his thinking. But just because you have one bad relationship, or several bad relationships doesn't mean you're going to strop trying to have relationships. That's the whole point here.
