and he probally was never bothered was just one cool ass white boy, that hung out with the black kids, I didn't grow up in laplata god no, I grew up in dogpatch now know as the (malcolm area), northeast dc and oxonhill I'm far from a wanna bee.

Did they call you a cracker and white boy? Tell you it was a black thing, you wouldn't understand? Say white men cannot jump?

This stuff is absolutely alien to me. When I was in high school, blacks and whites intermingled just fine and there was no problem. Black girl dating white guy or vice versa - nobody thought a thing of it.

Maybe it's because in Nebraska, there aren't enough black people to really HAVE an us vs. them mentality? We had the most integrated high school in the city - probably 30% black, 10% Hispanic and another 20% Asian and Middle Eastern. The rest of the high schools were lily white. But we had zero racial problem, not even with the Iranian kids during the hostage crisis.

I'd be curious what it's like these days. I'll have to ask my niece.

He wasn't bothered, and he also wasn't bothered by the police. His mother would have killed him herself if he'd dealt in drugs, or took a step out of line. It was simply unacceptable.

And it's not a race issue, it's an upbringing issue. Just because you're poor doesn't mean you have to be trash. Being poor and living in a bad neighborhood does not give you the excuse to steal, sell drugs, or destroy other people's property.

I'm sorry, live by the sword die by the sword. :shrug:

In 1968 we drove from Thomson, IL to the California coast (just to see if it was there) and on the way stopped in the town of Grand Island, Nebraska. It had been voted something like the best town of 1967. We went to a restaurant that had the real red and white checkerboard tablecloths and a waitress that looked like she was in Mel's Diner. She was really sweet and nice but the funniest thing I remember is that she looked at these 6 black people in the middle of Nebraska and said "It's so nice to have some of you people here." I remember looking at my cousin and just busting out laughing. She really meant it as a pleasant welcome but it just came out so wrong!

Eclark,

Do you use drugs? Are you acclimated to that way of life? So when people mention the drug issues he has had, it isn't a big deal to you?

of course not he gave ice cream to kids

 

[RoseRed]

For the record I'm not his mother, no relation in any way just so one whose no him since I was 8. I watched him go through certain spells in his life and I also watched him really make a change. They didn't kill him when he was out here doing bad stuff. Like I keep saying the streets are always watching and that means 24hrs of the MORNING, day and night 7 days a week (like when those police thought no one was watching).

According to eclark, drunk driving is okay, so drugs must be okay too. :shrug:

Welcome to Nebraska!

I read this whole thing, including the links.

I'm glad the policeman is okay, and that "Johny" is Less of my tax money going to defend him and keeping him in prison.

If my little, red headed, wonderbread son ever pulled a gun on an officer as was done in this instance, and got blown away, I would simply pray for my son's soul, and the only person I could blame would be myself for not killing him first. The same goes for my daughter.

"Racism", "prejudice", "ethnocentricism"? It's been around since the beginning of recorded history, and I don't see it ever going away.

You pull that kind of crap with drunk driving, drugs, carrying a concealed weapon and using it on anybody, you should be 6 feet under, or better yet, "Soylent Green".

I've been following this thread today (what a wild ride!). Anyway, I want to know what eclark means by "the streets are watching". Watching what?? Watching Charles County go down the drain to crime, drugs, etc? Would the family think differently if a PG or DC cop shot him for what he did??

I'm sorry if this person was a friend of yours, but come on. Face up to the truth. Remember the phrase 'Crime does not pay'?! Look where it got your friend.

Yes dear, I know that. We can feed all of the welfare people that instead of giving them Independence Cards to buy Twinkies and Ho-Ho's.

You said a mouthfull there. I don't live far from Dogpatch and have heard it was/used to be the drug capitol of southern maryland. And for your information, it's still known as Dogpatch, not the Malcolm area. Me thinks your views are becoming clearer the more you post. How many whites live or have lived in Dogpatch and how would you be able to comment on just one cool ass white boy that hung out with the black kids. Give the white man a chance and really he can become your friend. The majority do not want you to go back of Africa and please don't take that the wrong way because that is not my intent.

Now you are stereotyping gender's.

 

[vraiblonde]

just one cool ass white boy that hung out with the black kids.

I have a question:

Why would a white kid that hung out with the black kids be considered "cool"? Is a black kid that hangs out with the white kids considered "cool" too?
