I always make a point to wave, unless I am forced to bully my way into a lane. Then that guy I cut off can go fuck himself.

I swear to god if anyone quotes the shit I'm about to fucking say, I'm going to fucking hulk-out on the next motherfucker I see. Not necessarily even the person that fucking quoted me. Just the next person I see is gonna get straight Lagarette Blaunted into the next cycle of typical local date keeping. That's how fucking angry I get online. Motherfuckers.

This thread has potential. Oh Tyler sucks ass by the way.

The first one was absolute garbage, so maybe the second one will be so bad it'll be kind of good ?

Thiz thrred fukking fayles nough mmmmky.

Welcome Alex, cool pics.

Will the helping lead to "crying sex" ?

Welcome. Good intro.

Welcome.

Welcome.

That's fine, because they have a fake name anyway. I also got mine. Woot.

Didn't you guys know that natural disasters occur to kill off pagans ? Or that god made AIDS to punish teh homos ? It's fucking science. Nevermind that when something bad happens to us it's because 'god works in mysterious ways' queue creepy UFO theremin.

That's your evidence ? Thank you for proving my point, you aren't wanting to open any line of communication. You want to complain. You are successfully complaining. You are not successfully backing up your claims. So the president's job is to speechify to you about how no one has special rights ? Are you insinuating the opposite ? Please provide specific examples. (I don't even know why I keep asking) To most whites the slurs against them are almost laughable. How has being white ever been a bad thing in the USA ? There's no racial oppression backing those words, no history of slavery, no socio-economical mistreatment. Right or wrong (which it is still wrong) are you honestly offended when someone says honkey, or cracker ? Those words carry no where near the same historical weight. Now I agree with you about the double standard regarding the N-bomb, but the eventual usage of the variant amongst blacks was likely a social way of de-powering the word's despicable origins. You assume way too much, about too many things. However I don't think there's a racial slur I haven't used jokingly amongst friends, but the intent is not to hurt or demean. If I have an argument with someone, and out of a lack of any tangible negative to grasp I call them a racial slur, I am a racist. And no, having a hyphen in your checkmark box doesn't necessarily mean you have a dual citizenship. It's a simple identifier for the census folks. Don't read too much into it. Not really sure what you are trying to imply here.

I couldn't agree more. You are absolutely correct, it is infinitely debatable, but poverty does increase crime across the board. We already know that. Specifically related to blacks there are many more issues to take into account. Lack of pride in their communities, distrust of the authorities, yes even racism can play into it. Though you are wrong about the essay writing, I already have a headache.

You don't want to open this can of worms. Its an ugly place. Let me preface by stating I am a firm believer of tougher punishments for what most of us consider the worst of crimes. Murder, Rape, Child Molestation, Non-parental Kidnapping, Home invasions, Ponzi and other white collar scams. I wish we as a country had more balls putting these assholes down for cheap, if due process is done thoroughly and without any shred of doubt. Now since this is a racial discussion, you need to account for not just what each race puts into the overall percentage of crime, but what is the root-cause of the crimes committed. Now the "bad-apple" clause is always in full-effect, so no matter what you do sometimes people from perfectly good backgrounds commit heinous crimes. So they are accounted for. Now we all know blacks have a higher likelihood of committing violent street crimes than whites, and higher recidivism rates. We also know whites have a higher likelihood of committing white collar crimes. What is the nature of most crime ? Attainment of something you did not have before. Power and money tend to be atop of the heap. Each off those particular groups are preying upon their easiest target. A poor mugger is not going to have the means to setup a large financial scam, fleecing many, and using clout and implied knowledge of "whatever" to further their goal. Likewise a shady business man wouldn't waste his time with near-random victims. They want specific targets. Now you leverage that against what a human of any color would be willing to do or lose to better their situation. In many cases there are simply more blacks in poor situations that are willing to commit the more readily noticeable street crimes (the randomness is what makes it scarier, as we all feel we're smart enough to not be scammed) in attempt to get a piece of the pie. I'm not even really touching on crimes that are sought out by both sides, such as drug-deals and prostitution. Now blacks are not the first group to be blamed for "most crime" in the media and even on paper. Italians, and before them Irish immigrants fought against and sometimes gave into the stereotypes we have all seen in the movies. One difference is they didn't face the same level of discrimination as blacks in America, and were able to have their leaders climb into high positions (politics, business) faster, providing access to their peers and followers, thus allowing quicker assimilation. There really is so much more to it than that, and I don't want to write a thesis today. Its just more information to think about. The issue is anything but "black and white".

I agree, and disagree. Black history month celebrates the leaders of a community that rose up against blind discrimination. If for nothing else we should celebrate it to remember just how bad it can be if ignorance goes unchecked. Keep in mind those times aren't so far away, less than a lifetime ago. Also you admit you understand why those things were created (the enslavery followed by all-encompassing social oppression for a couple generations), then complain that if the color were changed to "white" that it would be called racist. Have whites in America endured the same treatment ? What would the reasoning behind creating such an organization be (The Caucasian Male Golf Club Fund) ? We know why blacks did it, why whites now ? In regards to public funding, I believe along the economical line is the only fair way to allocate funds, if we are going to do it at all.

Good luck man.

Accuracy through numbers can be a difficult process, though not impossible. People will tell you, you can make a statistic say anything you want, and with unscientific methodology that's absolutely true, you can. Bias, sample size, application, lots of ways to make something sound one-sided. Which is why I asked, I was wondering not only where you got your information, but how it was acquired, and just as importantly the way it was analyzed. Also using a derogatory slur against someone simply because they used one in reference to you, makes you no better than them. Knee-jerk reactions to racism fuel the fire, not put them out. I'll retrofit a personal anecdote in example. At the movie theater with my wife I encountered a younger (14-16?) black male, with a group of his friends. This is right around 7pm on Friday so the theater is packed. At one point, I don't even remember to be honest, I kicked on, or stepped on, or otherwise scuffed the young mans shoe, busy line accident of course. Not a second had passed before I heard not just one racial slur, but two, and also questioning whether or not I even understood what he was saying (too much Rush Hour ?). I could have called him any number of racial slurs in retaliation. Though what about the older black couple two people behind us, the black family in line going to see the next Pixar film. Could my actions reinforce their personal racial biases ? By giving into base reactions I could have created more hate. Maybe they didn't see the initial incident, and just heard me. Lastly the whole "you sound like you're on a rant" part of my first post is pretty much completely verified by some of your more ignorant, or baseless follow-ups such as Barack caring more about being black than American, or about how Mexicans just need to learn english. First off, if someone is Mexican as opposed to Mexican-American, than I'm sure they could give a fuck less about learning english, secondly if they are in fact Mexican immigrants working in America (legally, illegally) and they cut your lawn, or roof your house just as well speaking Spanish, again who fucking cares what they speak. Most of the Mexican-American citizens I know, do in fact learn to communicate within a level of competency. If you're just pissed about immigration, than welcome to the club, you should point your fingers at the more than likely white business owner, hiring them under the table, and providing a booming marketplace for illegal workers. Or shit, the average American consumer for supporting those businesses by always trying to save a buck. As far as Barack caring about his blackness more, please provide some evidence to support your rather scathing accusation. He is after all bi-racial, and that would likely qualify him to more accurately act as human barometer to racial issues than say yourself, or even me, even though I am also bi-racial.

Ya what he said, "big plans" are what you tell your friends that don't know, or don't care to know shit about modified cars. We on the other hand do. Plus if its all super rice we get to make fun of you. Welcome. Don't get too toasty in here.

You're prejudiced against racial discussions. You monster.

Interesting view, though you need to reference your numbers before spouting off things like rape statistics(possibly provide opposing numbers). Also I would imagine your race on race crime stats would be skewed due to the disparity of the number of whites to blacks overall. Whites would also be more likely to commit more crimes against whites, as there are simply more whites. For a crime to exist so must an opportunity. Just curious if you've researched all sides of this. I can see some of your points, and maybe even agree on some, but to be honest you come off sounding a little too eager to point fingers. Your first sentences were poignant enough, stating an issue, and discussing that an avenue of communication needs to run both directions for positive progression. Then, no offense, you seem like you're more on a tirade than offering up suggestions as to how to gap racial divides.

Not too shabby. Get some pics up when you can. Welcome.

Clean car.
