Sterotyping at the Bus stop...

Ok, so what did you think he was getting at by mentioning race and potential employees?

He even admitted he was stereotyping. Why would he even bring up the different races, and not just different attitudes if it wasn't a race thing?

Look, the bottom line is most Southern Marylanders are Rednecks or white. We all want everyone to feel the same way we feel about what is happening to our southern counties. I live in Charles, have moved out of waldorf to LaPlata.....friends moved to St. Mary's now want to move wherever "they' aren't. Calvert....give it 5 years.

We want our counties to stay white with less crime...sorry not going to happen. And yes I am upset about. I am sorry if I offended anyone but its just the plain and simple truth

"We want our counties to stay white..."

I go thru 3 counties every morning (King George, Charles, and PG) and I feel like I cross into a different country every time I make the commute. You can see the change by every mile marker you are passing.

My wife and I have felt so welcomed here in Southern Maryland. Glad to see we have only been judged by our individual actions - and not by our ethnicity.

I've noticed the phenomenon myself. Admitting you have noticed it is verboten though and actually pointing it out is racist!

Nothing like a pack of baggy pantsed teens sauntering across the road slowly and making eye contact just so you know they are thinking they are so bad and enjoying inconveniencing drivers. Looking like the bad attitude inmates a good portion of them will someday certainly be. Underwear hanging out, hats on sideways, and slouching towards Gomorrah....

You are judged...sorry...if you speak to anyone that is white, they are looking to move...I am truly sorry, but I get so tired of people going around things in a round about way....if you are a Black American, then you were judged but not to your face, if you are white then you are judge by the whites saying...poor guy...just gonna have to move soon. Sad but true. I am NOT at all trying to be nasty or mean, just truth.

that explains why you are an ex-Waldorfian...right?
