What the hells happening to Charles County?????

[Speedy70]

no i dont expect a people to have sympathy for a race that has been dealing with the same issues for hundreds of years

You're the narrow-minded one here. You and I had nothing to do with what happened years ago. It's up to the people today to make a difference.

 

[Lugnut]

We can talk all day about who's fault it is but we will go back to our nice homes and cars and the cycle will continue.

We? Speak for yourself bud.

When I get home I have homework to do and books/articles to read to stay current in my profession.

We have nothing to do with what happened then but the menatality has been passed down to you and me.

"HOUSTON, WE FOUND THE PROBLEM!!!"

 

[Qurious]

Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, the front men to your Victimization have only been around a few decades not hundres of years

i do not support either.

Try again.

Like I said, it's up to the generations today to make a difference. Just because it happened to someone's great great granddaddy years ago, doesn't mean it's OK to do it to my Father now. That works both ways.

True.



The problems that everyone are talking about will still be there. Thats all I'm saying.

Hey can we all stop this thread till tomorrow Im about to go home and I dont want to have to read like 25 pages or more to catch up tomorrow.

 

[chernmax]

It is everyones problem if YOU all continue to complain about it.

Why should it be my problem, I can complain all i damn will about it!!! I had zero role in whatever you think is keeping the black man down...

I left the streets, served my country, used opportunities through the military to educate myself, retired, now I work for the government as a civilian employee. No special passes here, the road I took was hard, the easy way would have been to do nothing, live the thug life and blame everybody else on why I am viewed as a fukup...

 

[Speedy70]

Funny you mention that, I know white people that have been completely ignored when stepping into say a McDonald's in Prince George's Co. This person will be the only white person in the establishment and be completely ignored. Nobody will take their order. It's happened several times to my Dad. :shrug:

What the hells happenin... 11-14-2006 01:26 PM you'sa goddamn lie!! ROFLMAO

Thank you for your wisdom. What language is it that you speak?

Lets see, , ,

Million Man African American March, funded by the Fed Govt

What happened to the Million man white march?


United Negro Fund, Funded by Fed Govt

What happened to the white people fund?


Growing up a poor whitie in SE DC, I got to see all of what life has to offer, even back in the early 70's being white and leaving my yard meant for the most part someone would jump me and take my 10.00 converse tennis shoes. Today, people shoot for a pair of 200.00 Jordans. Things that happened back then are still happening today, the only difference is that the stakes are higher. I read somewhere on the thread where they said move away, where ya going to move? If you go down south to FL, you deal with the hispanics doing the same thing. I dont think there is or will ever be an answer to the issue's which face this country, but one thing for damn sure, you better buy a gun!

Not to me, it hasn't.

The difference is attitude. On Sunday I had a young black hairdresser completely butch my cut. It never occurred to me that she might have done it out of some hatred for white people - I just assumed she sucked at doing hair.

But the MSM is rife with stories of black people who got substandard service from a white person, and automatically assumed it was because of racism. Chris Rock's mother is a recent high-profile example.

 

[flomaster]

You cannot say that the ratio of whites to blacks that own companies are the same.

I never said anything about ratios. My point is, that you can make it as a minority in this world if you really want it. You can sit on your a$$ too and collect welfare too. Totally up to the individual no matter what race. My daughter graduated from Thomas Stone and there was a very bright boy who won a full ride to Harvard University and every other award the stinking school could give him. he was black. I should have kicked his a$$ for making everyone else in the school look so stupid.

He took full advantage of what was given to him and he ran with it. No excuses, no special treatment. He was just a good kid who did what was right. He didn't let his skin color keep him from getting it all.

Prime example!

Ok calm down. I'm not taking any of your accomplishments away from you. I respect what you did. If we are all Americans it is all of our problem.

Then you need to start talkin' to your bro's about how to behave in polite society.

Congratulations, so do I. My husband and my children. There is a reason that this forum exists. It is so close-minded people with close-minded views can express themselves without fear of what would happen if they said these things, say, in front of a room of educated black people. Walk one day in the shoes of a minority in this country...black, asian, hispanic, indian. Feel the energy that some ignorant people give with their stares. No what it is like to be stopped coming home from the grocery store to have your car searched, including your kids and your wife that are in the car and talked down to like you are less than a man because a crime just happened and you fit the description of a young black man between 5'5 and 6'3. Go to Peebles to buy Christmas gifts and be totatlly ignored by a salesperson because you are not worthy of their time. Then you would feel my frustration. Until you feel it, see it without your priveleged shades on, you will never know. There are people in this world of all shades who strive to provide for their families and want the same things Mr. Joe White wants in life. Yet there are brick walls that you would never believe. Not every minority receives a government check. I'm sure if you walk into Social Services right now you will see for yourself that poverty is colorful and it includes whites as well. Check out the sex offender registry for St. Mary's county. Make your own statistics then. Crime is more reported in the low income areas because it is expected. You don't think any of that is going on in Town Creek or Breton Bay? None of your kids have smoked a joint, shoplifted, got into a fight? Of course, if they did, it would be brushed off because "kids will be kids". Any other race, they would be considered "little thugs". Get real. Expand your narrow minds.

Speak for yourself. I am a hispanic male with a first name that screams minority. If someone doesn't give me what I need then I go after it. I don't let stares or bad service keep me and my family from our needs. I know that kind of ignorance exisits but I don't use it as a crutch and tell people "You should walk in my shoes" because that is you giving into a soceity and treatment that you have allowed yourself to be a part of.

Oh and by the way I am married to a white woman too!
