Yeah, they suck. You do have to keep shite locked up tightly. Luckily, they usually only steal shite, and try to do so when you're not home. I haven't seen any methhead gangs fighting turf wars though.

But is it really race? Or just a "type of people".

People like to push "race" as some homogenous thing, when really it's other factors that just happen to largely coincide with a subclass.

This is what I was getting at, but perhaps I didn't make my point very clear.

Trash is trash no matter what color it is. Unfortunately, in our country socioeconomic status is heavily correlated with race. That leads to a perceived racial divide in our country, when in reality it is a matter of circumstance and should have very little to do with race anymore.

Unfortunately a victim mentality has formed, and there is now this entitlement mindset. It has created a false barrier as people are more driven by emotion based on a sense that "my problems are someone else's fault."

No, you didn't chose to be born and raised in a poor neighborhood. However you were born in a country that provides free education, meals at school, and a bus to get you there. Quit making poor choices, and focus on the light at the end of the tunnel rather than the low hanging fruit around you. That is a major reason I think mentoring programs are very important in underperforming areas.

Yup.

I see it this way. I travel up and down the river on a daily basis. Down one of my routes I go over the levee. The crew working on the river is all black and busts arse, works hard. I have a ton of respect for those guys. One of them drives an hour and a half each way, every day. Why? To support his family.

Then I go right across the levee and there are a ton of dudes, healthy and hale and of working age, sitting on the damn stoop of the convenience store, drinking out of brown paper bags and smoking cigarettes. All fricking day.

I have ZERO respect for those human leeches.

It's not about color, it's about character.

Polls are racist as frick. They basically go from the whitest states to the blackest states. Triggerreddddddd.

Louisiana doesn't have the best hunting in the country nor freshwater fishing


it's up there in salt water fishing though

Don't do much hunting or freshwater fishing so I will give you that. What state has better all around salt water fishing?

Louisiana and Florida are probably top 2 and it could go either way depending on what you like to fish for
