"Maybe I'm still miffed because the Gang Bangers have recently come to my tiny Cow Town..."

Understandable,
But if you 'build a market - they will come'

If your town is truely small enough, it might be a good idea to find out who they are coming to visit and call in the rangers (?)

[Diana in Wisconsin]

They're moving here because Madison, WI is a socialist mecca that won't do anything about them and we're south of there, so as low-income housing runs out in Madison, they're moving south to other small towns in the area.

And our Chief of Police is completely against the concealed carry law that's hopefully to be passed next month for Wisconsin, so he's of no help.

I'm assuming this was an isolated incident, and three other Gnag Bangers were wounded and no civilians hurt, but if it's not, many of us will be camping on his doorstep until he wants to shoot us, himself. :(

Southerners were supposed to be bad

I'm baaaaad.

and proud!

Goss: "Then who gets the chairs?"

The Chairperson, which seems to be Picard in this case.

"Whites don't get to criticize black leaders"???

Screw you, lady, I'll criticize race-pimps anytime I want.

[taxed2death]

It happens, and the white kids have no idea how idiotic and stupid they look and sound.

"There was a movie on cable recently, "White Boys", about white kids in a small rural farming town trying to act ghetto and being "down wit da bruthas" - only to be nearly killed by real thugs in Chicago in a drug deal gone bad (hilarious scene where hick brings $68 to buy drugs, and thinks the thug drug dealer will loan him the rest...) Incredibly funny, and VERY realistic movie.

Thug culture is all the rage. It will pass. I'm not saying its good, bad, or anything, but it too will pass - and with it all the wanna be thugs and hos at the mall with it."

I just flip the tables on these morons. My shop is in a bad section of town...3 miles away are 2 million dollar homes...when these clueless pampered white kids come in and talk ghetto to me, I just adopt a very heavy Chinese, Indian or Jamacian accent and conduct business with them.. They look at me like I'm crazy...an if they ask, I just tell them they sound like idiots. I just treat them like idiots from that point on.

[fr_freak]

Really, why should black people give a heck about what white people think about black leaders? They aren't following them. Didn't they learn anything from the Marion Barry comeback?

This woman can go to hell. We are all countrymen and what happens within one group will affect us all. She is just another idiot who wants to keep our country divided.

[rfreedom4u]

I know several black people who speak the same way I do, but when they are around other blacks they intentionally revert to ghetto-speak. Why? Is it to feel a "common bond" of their ghettoness?

[Texas4ever]

PLEASE DON'T CONTRIBUTE TO THIS ......ALL MEN CREATED EQUAL.

WHY ENTERTAIN SUCH BLAH?

[rfreedom4u]

The white race is the most discriminated against. We have so many clubs, organizations and other things for minorities. How about a white history month? A white entertainment television? A national white caucus? A miss white America pageant? A united caucasian college fund? A national association for the advancement of white people? Need I go on?

[rfreedom4u]

My daughter has a black boyfriend. When she's around him she speaks like a ghetto child. When he's around us he hardly speaks at all. I hope she realizes this is a bad relationship before its too late. She 19 with a job and school. He's 22 with no job, no diploma, no driver's liscense and no plan for the future. One thing he does have is a crimminal record. Hhhhmmmmmmmmm.....

[rfreedom4u]

How many Latin-Americans actually speak Latin?

[djf]

They can use the 'N' word.

In fact, I would estimate the last 99 times out of a hundred I heard that word, it was comin from black folk...

Hypocrites.

[lmr]

They see a hispanic and asssume they are an illegal immigrant

In some places, this might be a good assumption, well, a safe bet, anyway.

[lmr]

Thats the very reason white flight will continue.

Exactly the reason we moved this year. The white population at my children's school dipped below 50%, we were quickly becoming the 'minority' in our neighborhood which was 90% white 8 years ago. The Hispanic population practically took over.

It's not racism for wanting to be with your own kind.

[SaveTheChief]

LOL. I laugh whenever I see that clip. That was one of the more humorous bits on ST-TNG.

[lmr]

If there's a crime against blacks by a white person, they'll mention race. But if it is the other way around, race isn't mentioned.

Click on "lmr" and read my about page.

"People are afraid to get involved when it's a black on white situation because it's politically incorrect"

[AnAmericanMother]

You got any friends in the police department?

A couple of detectives may need to go give him the "Jaws" speech.

If I were you, I'd do something before your daughter winds up dead. I speak from bitter experience.

[razorback-bert]

whites still don't understand why they don't get to criticize black leadership.

I agree with this, I don't understand.

So I take it that blacks shouldn't criticize white leaders either.

[Chi-townChief]

We really don't have "white leaders" at least that I know of.
