What's really sad is we have well to do patrons of the OT, even a cop, agreeing with these racial statements. A cop. But yet we are supposed to believe that he can go out and do his job fairly and treat people with equality when he's on here agreeing wholeheartedly with the hate filled statements of some racist in Buffalo, NY.

This is telling. The guy in the video and folks like him are pieces of shite. To blame anything purely on the color of ones skin equates to what the nazi's thought of the Jews. It's quite perplexing that folks are judged by others based on what they inherited and had no control of. It is a class issue, and when folks like the guy in the video realize that, then maybe we'll get somewhere.

You must have not watched the video. Even educated blacks aren't allowed on his side of town.

I'm willing to be "his" neighborhood is about 1 notch above the black neighborhood.

When people understand that nothing is this world is free they will be better off. People living on section 8 and receiving food stamps fail to understand they are missing out on some many more opportunities. Opportunities they would be afforded if they just got out and actually applied themselves.

I'm amazed at the racism in this thread. It has nothing to do with black people, it's poor people. Poor people ruin areas. They're going to be uneducated, not have the funds to keep up their house, and when they come together it makes a shite hole that promotes violence.

Now how do we fix this problem?

There's not much you can do to fix the problem. I mean, how do you make some one get an education and stop "keepin it real"?

Bingo! Baltimore has some of the highest per pupil spending in schools in the nation and look what you get for the money! The problem is all of these so called "troubled" areas are controlled by liberal democrats and playing the victim card keeps them in power! Education is not going to solve anything. It will only stop when the voters start electing those who will tell it like it is and start the improvements from within their community without asking for more and more money to maintain the status quo!

Sadly, there is a portion of society that doesn't feel this way. In their eyes, success must be given to you on a silver platter....just because others have worked hard at life and prospered, they should be given some of that for nothing!

Well. I've read many posts in this thread doing what I would expect. Say "that's racist" and basically be done.

What I haven't seen is very many people address a couple of simple questions.

1)What was the east side of Buffalo like before the influx?

2)Is it total shite now?

3)If yes to #2, why did that happen?

4)Is this a common result when these dynamics occur?

5)If so, why do you suppose that is the case?

I mean, you can denigrate the guy all you want and yeah, he's not exactly a racially inclusive fella, but, it might also be reasonable to answer the above questions.

Why? Well, many of you CONSTANTLY tell us how blacks behave a certain way in response to whites because of how they've been conditioned to do so because of racism.

Well, ya know. Conditioning goes both ways.
