no, but like I said we carry ourselves differently. It is about how you want to be perceived

You guys are hilarious with this bull shite.

It was a black guy who showed me the video, it was on youtube years ago I think the guys name doing the vid was something sotomayor, cant remember his first name. Go try and look for yourself. I remember him showing me the video saying something like "See, brothas go after white girls now the sistas are going after the white boys "

The shite they conjure up in their heads as fact is amazing. I'll put money down that more white people are scared to go to NBR gas stations than black people are to go to SBR gas stations.

Oh yea. I also tell him that I was definitely more at risk as a white guy who lived in New Orleans and walked/biked most places, than he is at a random gas station.

He came to visit me when we lived in New Orleans, and he said that he felt like people were staring at him at Bacchanal

Hmmm... safe? When I go somewhere and there are a bunch of police officers, I feel safe.

White Jefferson Parish has all of this during parades.

That's the thing about NOLA. They're not used to seeing black people so they get scared.

"black spring break" was a thing in Va. Beach years ago when I lived there.
Different place, different time, but the same behavior. That's why stereotypes are usually accurate.

This thread is OT Gold.

Someone mentioned several pages back about crackdowns in Destin and PCB. Stuff like that happens all the time. And it isn't just the kids. I've seen a grown man get arrested in the hot tub at the place my parents used to own a condo. Three sheets to the wind and blaring music by the pool at 1 AM, when it was supposed to close at 10. Security guard warned him, and he and his trashy family left. Went back out 30 minutes later, and they hauled his fat wet arse off in cuffs the second time.

We pretty much quit using the place if it was weekends on spring break or a holiday weekend. One Memorial Day there was a group flying a pirate flag and doing body shots in the toddler pool. All of them over 40 and very much white. Also saw a little tiki hut bar get vandalized and broken into before it opened up for business that day. We were just relaxing on the beach and this guy tries to act inconspicuous as he walked up with a crowbar to pry the padlock off the pop up windows. Made off with a few bottles of liquor before a lifeguard planted him face first into the beach, then they held him there until the cops could come arrest him. Large gatherings of drunk people no matter their race is usually trouble.

One of my buddies sent the article to a local girl from over there. Here was her response:

that was the idea...they aren't welcome. every BSB crime significantly increases without much economic benefit. theft increases, traffic increases. they need to go to atlanta, not here. i hope that message gets around

Not everyone has a the mentality to evolve and survive. Politics has played a huge role in it for people in general. It is really sad too. I wanted to make more money so I went out and made my self more marketable by getting licenses and such. I wanted to become an executive so I started to dress like one. I didn't wait until a politician or any so call leader made promises of lifting me up, i lifted me up

Right, The same way i’d Treat someone white dressed like a working man differently than some sparsely bearded, slack jawed, cousin fricking tweaker.


It’s about presentation

That’s because a lot of the blacks out there moved away from the shitty areas to give their families a better life and are hard working people.

It’s about class and culture more than race...although in many areas it does heavily correlate with race.



It's also from Katrina.
Middle class working folks from Metry/Kennah area moved to that area after Katrina and chose continue commuting rather than move back.

I thought black people were supposed to be tough, between this and the starbucks guys saying they feared for their lives, I'm starting to believe they are soft.

It's the new racial crybully buzz phrase. They've been using "I don't feel safe" on campuses for a while now. Playing on others' sympathy is marxism 101.

that's not just a "black" issue, which is often forgotten in these threads

a large chunk of our society just has this irrational belief in not being "normal" or "safe" and they live up the counter culture

traditionally this was the avenue for the young, but with the safety net and generations of cultural development, it's the norm for large portions of the population. primarily poor, but also extremely progressive (and they're usually well off)

there is an irrational belief that it's wrong to think people have to work to be included into naturally inclusive groups. they only see it as a form of exclusion and somehow society is supposed to ignore signals of culture, class, values, etc.

sadly, this only reinforces the rejection of the norm of the cultural/value underclass, which means at least one more generation won't understand how to get out of that situation
