EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

An article from the local news...I don't know about y'all, but my dad told me the same thing and I will tell my kids as well. Oh, guess what...I'm a damned ole' white boy from "the South". *IMO* Such bullnumber 2, tired of reading about parents with number 2head kids and blame it on everyone but themselves. If they are raised correctly, there should be no worry about any "talk". It starts at home, no matter what color you happened to be. 

BEAUMONT -   Kenneth and Laura Grimes teach dance at the World of Dance Studio in Beaumont, and while their moves can be challenging, both admit dancing is much easier than being parents.

Although they've successfully raised two sons who are now in their twenties, they say there's added pressure not to make any missteps with African-American boys.

Grimes says, "Being African-American males and being in the South, we have seen a lot of prejudice."

And what's going on in Ferguson, Missouri, where an unarmed black teenager was fatally shot be a police officer is what parents like Jerome Delafosse worry.

Delafosse said, "One of my worst fears is that my son will get stopped and get mistreated."

Jerome has two boys and the oldest just started driving, so he's at the age to get "The Talk".

When we hear about parents having "The Talk" with their children, it usually refers to the "birds and the bees" conversation.

Not so in the African-American community, where "The Talk" is instructions on what to do if an African-American teenaged boy is stopped by police officers.

Grimes told us about her talk with her sons, "I said if you're even stopped by the police, you just roll down your window, ask what is it that you need to do, don't try to get out of the car, don't try to have the last word."

Grimes' husband Kenneth said, "If you don't put wood on a fire, it can't burn."

He says "The Talk" is encourage their sons to diffuse a situation, not make it worse.

Delafosse agrees, he tells his sons, "If you do get stopped you do exactly what the police officer tells you to do, don't question, if anything you come home and we'll talk about it."

Other tips African-American parents share with their children during "The Talk" are:

*To memorize the officer's badge number
*To keep their hands where the officer can see them
*To not reach for wallets or cell phones

 IN some places racial discrimination is still in use , but the "talk" and the media just strengthen the tension between races. I am not Leo but come from a long line of family that is. I really feel the media is one of biggest contributors of racially motivated out crys.

Media and the likes of Jesse Jackson and the NAACP. The biggest issue with kids today is lack of respect. If u act like a person should u don't have problems with cops near as often. But when the adults stand on the porch and cuss the cops while the kids watch trying to be billy bad boy what do u expect.


Shotgun
Arkansas

Neither stupidity nor ignorance is color blind.

Wow, when did we go back to 1960s mississippi here in texas? The "talk" should be more along lines of just be a human being, not an animal from the Congo behind the wheel. What a buncha bull crap. They don't like ole whitey to profile them, but yet they profile theirselves. What a double standard bunch of whooie.
And I agree 100% with shotgun with them uncle toms beating the whitey is a racist card and the complete lack of respect from the kids of today, not just the black kids, but all colors of kids

    lol  wish I had gotten the '' talk ''  when I was a kid , I've had my butt plum beat down by the police several times .  but you know what    ,  I deserved every one of them    lol    it's all about respect  , you get what you give and that's the way it should be  . 

Here is a picture of Michael Brown. You know--the gentle giant that would not hurt a fly. Probably on his way to a UNICEF meeting when he was gunned down by whitey.

I see a pic of a young guy with tattoos. Is the point if posting the guys photo to make a statement that he 'looks' aggressive or like a 'thug' cause I don't see it. I don't know all the details to the fatal shooting but wether he was a black or white tatted up guy I don't think it should matter.
Then again, I have two half sleeves myself, and I'm certainly no 'trouble making no good thug', contrary to some of the existing stereotypes. I guess I was just raised to where a piece of crap human being comes in all colors, ages and sizes. Tattoos and non tattooed.

Well the biggest problems that I run across is everyone wants me to cut there grass....I can mulch too

^^^ he has shoulder pain. Most likely from pro ball then  he  got hooked on crack and lost rites to his 9 kids from 4 different low esteem white women.....I lol I should stop there

Now that's funny Lou.

As to the pic and from the info iv read. If I were a patrolling po po and made contact due to the reasons released for the cop to "pull him over", I would think thug, just as if I was confronted and bc of my tats, and if I were the officer, I would think I was in a biker gang. Even though he was a suspect in a robbery, but know to the shooter at that time, the cop had a valid reason to confront ink man bc he and another person were walking in the middle of the road, which can create potential issue with motorists. During initial contact and looking like he does and if he talk and acted like a hoodlum thug, then that could add to the tensions already there. If a person acts like a hoodlum, sounds like 1 and portrays 1, then the confronting officer, be Hm/her a cracker, black, brown, tan or burned tan should treat them as a hoodlum till the person shows and acts other wise to dismiss the profiling nature.

As a cracker myself with the type of ink on my arm and if I acted and sounded like a hoodlum, and I gave to po po a reason draw his weapon and it refused to listen to commands given and wanted to show my a$$, then ending up on a medical slab is exactly what I deserve. there are a few officers that make the rest of the officers look like the bad guys even though that is farthest from the truth, it the media will highlight all the negative of the police force, exempting all the positives of the same force.

I agree there. If someone is breaking a law they should be dealt with accordingly.....no matter what. I was getting into the aspect of stereotyping I guess.

I'm sure with the type of ink you have, it would not be the type to consider a sterotyping of sorts. Now mine on the other hand, can be linked to Mexican gangs, biker gangs and cracker gangs, so iv got  a mix of stereotyped tats. And that is 1 reason if I get pulled over, I treat the po po with respect, bc he wouldn't have pulled me over if I wasn't breaking the law to begin with.

seems like i remember getting the same "talk" and im a whitey! I always thought those were rules for everyone to follow in a traffic stop. I have gotten stopped in beaters alot but rarely in a newer well maintained vehicle. I was being profiled for sure but who cares statistics don't lie their like odds gambling. I've always heard you play the odds in poker. It's also how the "house always wins" probability nets results in police work they profile everything. they have to or they would never bust any bad guys. It's funny in all the serial killer shows everyone likes profiling. middle aged man late forty's lives with and hates his mother etc....but if you live in a city where most of the crime is by black men with gangsta ink baggy pants that walks all over like they own the world even right in the middle of traffic (like maybe they are high or just robbed a quick stop and think they got away with it) and no respect for anyone Ive worked in the ghetto for long periods of time it's not hard to see these types. I wish the cops stopped them more. like I say i've spent a good deal of time in ghettos in major us citys my car broke down in one at about twelve at night on a martin luther king street somewhere bad and I had to abandon my car and crawl under an overpass for the night and watch these thugs walk by. a balck man just don't have to have that kind of fear if he breaks down in a white neighbor hood. what a person thinks others motivations are usually reveals a good deal of their own.I've had enough of their trash talk the guy just committed a robbery I will lay money he deserved the shooting.the rioters do as well these goobs are the reason the n word is still in use. thats all!

If you have a tattoo on your face the chances are extremely high that you are a criminal.

  You are blind if you think the above picture is a productive member of society.

Agree with u 100%

(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/08/17/eta4epy3.jpg)
Here are some productive members of society that will put a tattoo on some faces...no charge.

So now the mo governor has declared a state of emergency and a curfew to prevent rioting and retaliations. What does rioting and destroying their town so for the intelligence of the community? Bunch of freaking animals is all. There is no rational reasoning to riot over this, just like the la riots in the 60s and the riots after the head thumping of that coke head Rodney king. It seems like them uncle toms are doing a lot to better the supposed minorities, so good that they can't stand the great living from the state and fed funded millions of free health care, food, education and housing. U can take the animal from the wild, but u can't take the wild from the animal.

What if he lacked just the facial tattoos?

I admit, any facial tattoos are pretty extreme, however, as I mentioned before, I have two half sleeves, as well as a tattoo on the back of my neck, and a nose piercing....
I get looks all the time from people, especially when I attend my daughters church events. By people who are supposed to be non judge mental. But wait.....that would be an entirely different topic lol.

My point is...people look at me at times and assume I'm just another one if those non productive members if society. Bet if I posted my pic up.... A couple of y'all apparently might think that lol. Except I have a squeaky clean record and would give someone the shirt off my back if they needed it.

Not saying the guy in THIS case was or was not 'innocent,' I'm just saying that looks CAN be deceiving.

Matter of fact, that pic y'all have up there is not even of the 18yr old kid in this news story. That's who I believe is a rapper that goes by 'the Game'.

I never knew Michael brown was a double platinum recording artist from Compton, CA!

HAHAHAHAHAHAH

P.S.  Thats a picture of "The Game"....

Yes CH. Racist... The man in that picture is a VERY lucrative member of society...!

http://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-celebrities/richest-rappers/the-game-net-worth/

Yep, a very lucrative member of society.  rolleyes  about as lucrative as the jackasses who shot at us after Katrina while were slinging hescos of sand to plug the levies.

  Just another thug that made it to the big leagues.

Well the other night I was tired and turned left hitting another car that went into a truck. The driver of the other car that did nothing wrong was a young black man and a young black lady passenger. The man driving was mad just like anybody would be but asked as I did if everyone was ok. I could not believe that I did not see him and quickly told him I was very sorry. The driver of the truck said there was no damge to his truck and quickly left. I wonder why? I called my ins company and reported the accident before any wrecker even got there. When the deputy got there I told him that it was my fault because I was turning left. He asked the black man for his driver's license and ins first. ??? Then ran it before asking for mine. I sure noticed it and don't you think every black person sees it. Now maybe it was because I had a newer nicer car and his was old. Maybe it was because I was dressed in a collared shirt and he was in white T-shirt. But I know he was nothing but polite to me. I did not see any tattoos or anything thugish. His car had to be towed so I offered them a ride. They each said their dad's were on the way. Now the officer did stay just like I did until their dad's got there. The officer did not do anything other than ask for his license and ins first. But it did look racially bias. Me I only don't like rude people no atter what color they are. When people have manners and respectful I like them no matter what color they are. That is why I would refer to both other people in the other car as a man and a lady. When the dads got there they were also polite to this white guy with a shaved head. It goes both ways.

I posted about thugs in general, I hate no man individually but i despise the gangsta culture. the reason cops profile people is because profiling is generally right. the reason blacks are treated this way is because there are so many black thugs. watch the first 48 sometime or any other crime show you can see clearly why the cops stop blacks. it's hard to tell a difference between a law abiding one and a thug they mostly all look like thugs to me but I know plenty that are decent people who raise their kids to respect people and if their smart to pull there pants up and make an extra effort to be educated and proper looking. if a black man uses proper English and is respectful they wont be treated different long by the vast majority of whites i've met. because of their peoples culture they have to make sure to toe the line because there is a (I think) justified assumption that they are a gangsta. the blacks problems stem from their own failure to stand and be accountable for their own peoples actions. I can tell when i meet a black that has got it together. they act a lot more like Colin Powell or that type of person they dont throw a bunch of slang around. I can relate to them and feel no different toward them than any other person and the cops are the same way. if I drove a licoln with monster chrome wheels and dark windows and jammed some gangsta rap i would expect to be pulled over alot white or black its the image they present not skin color by itself.If they got a more conservative haircut and dressed different and drove a all factory car then I image most the racism would stop happening to them. it's not their skin color causing this its the image they present to the world.I garuntee you black cops profile as well as any other cop who is serious about their job would.

Wow the misinformation in this thread is running wild!!! The picture posted is NOT the kid that was killed it is actually a picture of a multi millionaire rap star that goes by the name "the game"......some folks should check their facts and not be so quick to judge.

I knew that...he is also in a movie street kings as a snitch over in 40s town... some times its best to sit back and watch...Forums are for entertainment and sometimes educational purposes

Lol funny stuff to each there own but looks do put a mark on ya what ever you look like

Btw I still get asked if I mow lawns. ..... .I mulch too

A millionaire thug or thug that needs to steal, what's the difference? Just like them ragheads in Iraq and Afghanistan, they'd all look the same. Except in the instance, the dead thug looks like he ate way to May plates of chitlons and couldn't run 100yds w/o falling out. Who know, the rapper could be the kids long lost unconfirmed daddy dint marry momma.

Justin, I'm sure after the first 3 people that said the picture thug is not dead thug, but thanks for telling us the 4th time. Way to look out for us so we don't get our info crossed ;D

So "they all look the same" huh? My husband is mixed, half black, and has a few tattoos.....guess he's one if them big bag thugs too huh? Thanks for the warning! I'd better go run downtown and petition for a divorce before I wind up robbed blind by my baby daddy! Dang he even listens to hip hop.....why didn't I see the signs!?!?

Sure, I'm talking bout thugs and radical ragheads looking the same. So by twisting or reading into it what you want, sure, if he carries the swagger of a thug, then the shoe must fit. If not, then the shoe don't fit. Read into it what you want, I could care less. Just like all white thugs, Mexican thugs, Asian thugs and so forth look the same, so do all black thugs.

   Comfort combine , you are reaching.
       Gang affiliated tattoos on the face of the game. Kind of a dead giveaway ................  stereotype about tattoos , they more times then not ring true.

It didn't take any "twisting." The statement "they all look the same" is pretty cut and dry, no?

I don't feel I'm reaching at all. There's really only one way to perceive what I've read. No point in sugar coating it.
Everyone's entitled to their own opinions and beliefs....but not everyone has to agree or stay quiet when they're up for discussion.

(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/08/18/da5e7eny.jpg)

Well said...

No. Read what you wanted to in it. Again, if your husband is a thug, then you should read the signs before or during yaws relationship. If you failed to read them, then you may be the same, BUT!!!!! from what iv read from your posts in the past, that's not the case. Again, if the shoe fits, wear it, if not, pick another pair to try on

Definately not the case.
What I was getting at is just because to you someone may LOOK a certain way, doesn't always mean that they ARE.

You are 100% correct on that, but as some1 said before, profiling is accurate the majority of the time. If wasn't accurate, then the po pos and military wouldn't still be using it as a means to gather intel, find the criminals and do what needs to be done.

I do understand the profiling aspect, as I studied that in my criminal investigations class in college. However, I also feel that there's that fine line between profiling, and racism, that seems to be crossed more often than not.

How could you possibly tell the difference? Unless a cop or such enforcement blatantly referred to their person of interest with a derogatory word, they could profile any race/homosexual/non-christian/etc. the same way...I really don't understand how you could tell the difference.

I'm not quite understanding your question here?
How could I tell the difference between what? Profiling and racism? I'd say, profiling is based on statistics....and racism is someone who has an actual disliking/hatred toward a specific race or sexual preference. I wa speaking more in general terms, not just LEO specific. I guess it would be hard to tell when it came from a LEO trying to do their job, but it's not so hard to tell the difference when you read some of the things said freely by people on a forum. That's just my assessment.

I was speaking specifically about law enforcement and such. I thought y'all were as well since you said it was studied in your Criminal Justice classes.

Oh okay I see where you were coming from now

Yes, I know the difference between racist and prejudice... To me it's the same, only racist specifies what you are prejudice towards....thinking one race is better than another.

Bjohnston, u r 100% correct. Every single person, no matter race, creed, sexual orintation or religion is a racist. Some factors enhance the racism more than others, but none the less, its still racism

Y'all boys better clean up the language... there's young folks and ladies on here.

You can go ahead and delete my profile along with that comment. I thought I read all the rules when I joined, guess I missed the G rating part. A short note telling me to edit my response would've been nice, and I would have had no problem as I did not know there was a language rating. Regards

I dont think was talking bout anything you have said. The post that crossed the line has been deleted already. It was the 1 bout profiling and the white man having a small dodad n such.

Mine got deleted as well. 2 f words....maybe 3. No biggie really. this is the only social network I am part of, and from time to time I remember why. That is all.

Ah ok. I didnt see them f-bombs n didnt think any of your posts got removed.

Statistically speaking...! If some of the aformentioned Southern white males are the husbands and fathers of these "women and children..." then foul language is the least of their concerns!

This post has been edited, and should fit within the criteria of the TOS... If you feel the need to delete it again, then please delete my profile while you're at it!

By his definition of profiling... that means.. all white dudes have small *BIRDS*...

and for a Southern White Mans profile :

50-55% of you are fat and out of shape

40-80% of the members here... be it they are Southern... are inbred.. or have taken part in incest in some way shape or form... and atleast 80% of you are illiterate or un-educated in some way shape or form.

99% of you dont speak proper english... in the eyes of yankees..

60% of you are unable to conjegate a verb

100% you drink beer, beat your wives, and cheat on them as well.

**25% of those beer drinkers beat their children, as well.

atleast 15% of you have molested a child..... But if I we're going by looks I'd say MOST of the members here are inbred child molesters! BUT THATS IF I WAS PROFILING AND JUDGING YOU ALL BASED ON YOUR LOOKS.

Its a two way street... but this is why I live on a dirt road... because I dont give mess what you look like. I wish alot more of you would just come out and say you're racist... Cause for those of us who are educated, your post make it as clear as rain... Its like when the hard core doggers call folks that dont post pictures internet doggers... same for some of you who wont outwardly call black people n**gers to their faces... You'd just be an internet racist!

I'll leave it to the Mighty MosDef

*originally, if this post was deleted for anything other than "foul language" then The Mods are fully accepting of the OVERWHELMING racial bias!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUTnNKhF-EU

Next it be complaints about the mexicans taking your jobs again, right??

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RV4K6YHTfg

No wait.. this would be a lot more politically correct!

I have a dog.. His dig is Jiggaboo... What color is he?

I wont be until we reach the point of seeing people.. that racism will die. I bet ALL of the white folks on the forum refer to anyone black as "that black guy".. but if a "white guy" became a new hire at your job, he'd be Marc, Jerry, Larry, or Billy Joe McAphree....


Oh by the way.. if you said the dog was black.. You're a racist..  O0

I bet if a person you have never seen before comes down your dirt road, you will dang sure have a self defense mechanism near by. Or, are you going to take the chance of life for you or your family? I take no chances personally and it doesn't matter if he/she is wearing suit or pair of baggy clothes. It is very hard for me to believe you are any different. As far as the Mexicans taking jobs...take all the jobs you can get your hands on, just pay the same taxes and government fees the rest of us have to. If you do, great...if not, head south of the border so my tax money is wasted on one less waste of air.

Pig dogs,i hope someone removes you.your just stirring the pot.

Lol there is an app or something where there is an emotion icon that has a pot being stirred. That would fit fine here

I don't get on here and voice my opinion or interfere with yall conversations or threads very often ( only once or twice I reckon). And I allow, anything I say will make a dimes worth of difference any how, but I feel the need to speak up now. Everyone of us has issues between the races, having the maturity to control it, is another story. But this site isn't the place to try and sort it all out, nor is it the place to sling crap at each other in arguments (big difference than a friendly debate agreeing to disagree.). This place is where I escape too when I cant go hunting or I have to work in the morning. The information that can be gathered here, all over this sight is amazing and entertaining. The stories, info, and pictures that are on here are next to none. And if it weren't for you regulars and the moderators, and the old timers like halfbreed and Mr Mason and others, this place wouldn't be worth a flip, but it is and yall do. Every one of you guys and gals have something positive to contribute and you do from time to time and that's what makes this the very best hog doggin site on the web, bar none. It's sad to get on here tonight and read this stuff here. I know, I know, I can just click on to the next one and so on. It just eats on me to hear the fighting that's been going on here lately. Maybe it's the heat, cabin fever, or who knows whats going on. Hopefully fall will get here sooner than later. I'll hop off my soapbox and get back in my recliner and keep my mouth shut. PS. Im glad that feller found his Dogos.

thank you bootheel... :angel:

In the above picture is not Michael Brown , his name is Joyce on Taylor a.k.a da Game

I work hard at not being prejudice. I used to fight every mex i met if I could goad them into it.I came from a small town with no race but white and a couple Indians then a poultry plant brought in six hundred in a couple weeks the population was 1100 all white  before we were overwhelmed with another culture. I hated them, I was later excepted of christ with all my past mistakes and unforgivness/hatred.  I said before I treat no man different man to man.I am not racist but I possibly do have prejudice on one level. I don't like the American black gangsta culture at all nor skinny jeans on white boys.I do not like thugs that rob steal and sell drugs whatever their race.However I have stolen and I have sold some weed once. I have been violent. So what can i say if Jesus excepts someone else. However you can't always try to push against long standing rules of society and expect to not be subjected to special scrutiny at some point.I don't think wearing the attire of a typical thug makes you bad in of itself but after all if you look like a thug in a town where white thugs (that present themselves in similar fashion to you) do most of the crime then i cant see where you could call foul. this instance is a big city where black thugs do most of the crime so what can you say. I wish in either instance the police would profile more because the numbers work and if they didn't use them then no one would ever get brought to justice. If the officer did profile this guy'it worked he caught a thug who just robbed a store. good job officer! You have a choice not to let yourself get identified with that sort of person. people aren't just going to change the laws of reason because you choose an alternative lifestyle that suits you.I live differently and have been treated badly because of it but the way I live is worth it so i'll just keep right on but i dont try to police peoples thoughts to suit me either.the looters are trashy folk regardless and they enhance the stereotypes validity as far as i can see they make themselves appear dumber than other races by looting their own neighborhoods and being so base to use a tragedy to cover there own base desires. not even a bird poops in its on nest! If that makes me prejudiced i guess i am guilty as charged. I could care less if an individual person is black white or yellow. crystal i'm sure not mad at your husband or at people with tattoos. I promise! I wont refuse myself the right to reason things out either. The current state of this country is what it is. -

Thay first picture is of multi millionair jayceon. Aka the game. Smh media has everybody thinking they are a race spokseman or expert. Im black. And I dont need ANY man speaking FOR me black white or purple. End of the day Nobody pressed a a "choose my race" button before birth. No one is better than the next. And  will not know the inner thoughts of a white man. BECAUSE IM NOT WHITE and a white man will NEVER know how it feels being black in America.. AND THAT IS OK! Live your life for you and yours. And if you dont like someone. For whatever reason.. grab your manhood and tell em. Imstead of whispering OR becoming a keyboard warrior. God America is SOFT nowdays.. bunch of here and now ,news watching,blog making,internet TOUGH GUYS... I was raised to defend RIGHT and WRONG not black or white.

Old proverb says those resistant to change will surly parish. If people where to judge them self before others and said what they truly thought at least they would know where they stand. But know matter how you look there will always be someone that will talk crap that is a fact of life

More harm has come to me by way of the illuminati Jewish bankers than any white, black, brown, yellow or green man....

But hey at least I have a better idea of who is white, black, old (halfbreed) who smoked weed (j****tank)......lol. and yes I did inhale once too...hahahahahab

I could not care less the color of a person's skin. Your actions make the person you are.

Well this here is the 'General' section where were to talk about any and every thing :)

Jews have been persecuted more than any race and I have never met a Jewish banker but I have seen a lot of con artesed most of them where not black or white or have tats just saying. You can tell a lot about a person by the way they dress walk and act but don't be fooled the worst ones look just like you and talk like you and you more than likely bar b q with them

True words judge,one that smile in ur face!

I think the native American Indian got Jews beat.... you hardly see filthy rich indians. Had all this land and look at them now... if you ever had a credit card,  morgage, loan... hell spent money you have delt wit a Jewish banker...

10-4 on that...y2k killer...ted bundy...

"BTK" not y2k

Only on the wealth side are jews better off, but they were in bondage 1000s of yrs before the white man slaughtered the natives, stole their land and dang near wiped their food off the planet. Yes native have it bad, but jews had worse on the total tally

Yes the native Indian got the short end of the stick but that was 400 yrs of wrong doing Jews where from the beginning of recorded time to prestent. Lot of people want to be Indian never do you hear some one wanting to be Jewish. Just a thought

All people have there good and bad. Just love the one you like and stay away from the ones ya don't

I'm just disgusted with this whole thing in Ferguson. along with isis and a variety of other things in this old world.I've been hanging with some Mennonites and it makes me think that's how the world should be; to much evil in the world: black, white, brown and yellow and ugly all over the place. I apologize if I came across the wrong way I meant what i said but not quite the way I said it.I was feeling frustrated. I tend to overemphasize to make a point. I think there's some things pretty obvious to me but i dont care what color a person is in the final analysis.Good people are indeed just that "good people" these dorks rioting in saint Louis are thugs that are a shame to Americans and their race may good sense prevail but if not shoot the looters.I'm tired of seeing these things and the stupidity of the sheeple that follow the likes of AL sharpton. I was speaking to the situation in Ferguson specifically. actually listen to rev kings speeches and compare.watch the movie friday and you will see my point about the culture and ghetto life. The culture stinks. I've been to several ghettos it aint pretty it's a failure of society. I have seen both sides I saw a black man get his jaw ripped off with a claw hammer for asking a white woman to dance. I was on prospect in kc during what appeared to be a minor uprising and was surrounded by hundreds of blacks trying to turn over our car. if the lord hadn't watched over us we would be dead now.I'm not sure how clear im coming across I just wish we could live in peace. no thugs, no meth, no terrorists beheading children. just peace and some agreement over a basic set of morals we could all use to protect ourselves from this stupidity.

My mom is Mexican Jew. My dad Not a Jew is a jeweller..lol he is more of a native...I guess either way im scared of army generals, ovens and alcohol:-[

That's funny

What bout showers that hiss with no water coming out bc of trapped air in the line ;D

^^ so long as im not getting charged for that air.;)

Ghettos being a cause of society is bs. The ghetto stems from the occupants not giving a crap about the way they live and the priorties of what they spend their income on. Millions of $ are spent on "bettering" the people with free hud housing, free education, unlimited welfare and free health care time. Instead of putting the education and housing to good use and actually bettering theirselves, they piss the oppertunity away. Even in prison they can get a free education, again at the tax payers expense, and again they puss that oppertunity away and then end up back in prison over and over and over.

It's very sad but true and if you have seen the gettos up north they are crazy I use to be a GC for the remodeling of them it was nuts

Mohamed Ali was and is a brilliant man as well as a heavyweight champion of the world in his prime...he had many saying's that he spoke and is well known for that...

he once said "You can take the nigga out of the ghetto but you can't take the ghetto out of the nigga"...I think he was trying to make a point to his people such as using reverse psychology to make them think and hoping to see a change in at least some of them...but the same true for all nationalities...if you are born to wealth chances are you will stay that way or at least be living a comfortable life...

born in poverty and it will be hard to break the chains and move up to a higher standard of living...

most folks that win the lotto will be broke in a short period of time just because that is what they know...

taking the folks out of the ghetto and giving them a nice neighborhood and come back in five years and more than likely that neighborhood will be a ghetto or well on its way to being one...we can look at the symptoms and blame those poor folks for being so careless and yes...so many of them are hoodlums...we can look at the big picture and look for the real truth...these folks have to accept responsibility for what they do...but living in poverty for many generations and being raised by parents who are kids themselves is a recipe for disaster...not making any excuses for anyone just speaking what I believe is the truth...

the government is partially at fault because they give money for nothing in return...they reward the women by giving more money for them having more children...having less children should pay more money as a higher incentive to have less children...less children eventually means lower taxes for us all that draw a paycheck...

welfare recipients should have to perform some type of work to receive benefits and should be drug tested just like everyone else who has to do so to get a real job and to keep that job...

while some of the welfare recipients are out earning their income...some welfare jobs should also be in teaching the children that need baby sitting...and these baby sitters should have the talent for teaching and they should like children...and be trained so they can baby sit and preschool the children so that the children can be raised in a better environment...so that they can learn right from wrong and so that they can have a structured life at least part of the time in their childhood...

instead we are guaranteed to have more of the same that we have today with no end in sight...seems like our government wants to keep folks in the same rut...I reckon in the grand scheme of things the government is insuring that the judicial system is always booming with the product generated by the welfare system...the police force is fully staffed because of it as well...just a domino effect... 

I'm sorry I posted anything at all. I got all fired up and became a topic bully. I got to thinking about the Zimmerman thing and remembered the conclusion i came to on that. whomever is behind all this wants us at each others throats all divided with strife and hatred for a reason and I don't think it for our good.I don't care for alot of things about black ghetto culture but I'm dont dislike black people per say.I do have some prejudice that when I see these goobs looting over something they dont know what happened it really got me ticked off because i've been in ghettos and the people in them are real racist idiots for the most part. In such cases I'm more of a counter racist than a instigator of it,however it's not my fight and I likely offended people who i would like to be friends with instead.  

Reuben, you said in a better way than I could. I do agree with u on 98% of ur reply. What I don't agree with is, born in poverty, stay in poverty. I grew up almost dirt poor, and done good for myself bc my dad actually cared about me to beat my ass (not enough thought) to get an education. We struggled for many many yrs, him raising me by himself and doing the best he could. I'm not speaking for all lower class situation, but just down the road was a neighborhood that was filled with lower class families and most of them (kids I went to school with) got an education and are many times better off than when we were growing up. 99% of us are white and we did good with out the free housing or education. Now let's go to the ghetto (black communities), were that race has more benefits afforded to them than white folks, but yet they choose to stay ignorant, choose not to opt for the free education to better theirselves. They choose to continue to slum it, sling drugs, become a revolving inmate and so forth.

I do agree the gov wants to keep the poor folks poor, but not to keep the judicial system in business, but yet by keeping them poor or on the lower low end of hot he middle class, it keeps them from being able to stop the gov from continuing their tyranny and oppression on the poor folks so they won't be able to make a difference and stop the corruption, or continuing the free benefits so the poor will fall into sense of "the gov will take care of me", so they keep electing or reelecting the officials that keep giving them free benefits.
In huge movie platoon, king (black guy, real name David king) said to Taylor (Charlie sheen) "poor man always getting f$&@ over by the rich. Always have, always will", and it's the truth.

Ehh people get defensive real quick.  Tru the world is going to number 2. Only way to combat that is with love...who loves me:-*:-*:-*

heck, u and ur family are some really great people. I would venture to say you would giv the shirt off ur back if the person needed it. And that right there makes u a game changer. U work ur butt off mowing yards  ;D sry I had to say it, but work ur butt to provide for ur family to better ur self and provide a better life for ur family

Referring to the news article in my original post, I thought it was absurd that parents are putting thoughts of racism in their kid's minds and then turn it around and blame it on others. Automatically these young folks think cops are out to get them, and it is because that's what they are taught. They are setting them up for failure and apparently too ignorant to even realize that they may be  contributing to the problem more than anyone. I just really feel for the young people are being brought up with that mindset and don't have the determination or g2 to realize different. I served with some awesome Marines that were black, white, hispanic, asian, and all mixes in between. Some of my best marines I was personally in charge of grew up dirt poor and getting in trouble and caught up in gangs. They realized that their current life wasn't getting them anywhere and decided to make a change. Many long days and nights in the field talking and they all say the same...they thought that way of life was normal, that's just how it was. When they realized they were not stuck purring and could do something better, they couldn't leave fast enough. Not because someone made them, but because they wanted to! I'm glad they chose to and had my back, or I may not be here to share my thoughts with you good folks.

ignore the random "purring" word... ???

And that's a good example of like u said WANT TO, to better theirselves. Those r usually the examples that once out of the situation make a positive name for t heirselves
