I live in an odd bubble now where I go into the office a few days a week with pretty cool people then work from home the rest and only go around where I live and everyone is pretty squared away and cool.
It's not bad
I just rarely see trash people.
I also rarely see children. (I live in a kind of expensive apartment complex). Like yeah teenagers when I go to Chipotle or something. But not shit ass teenagers. -
Yes. And for the same reasons. The difference is this is now just black "culture".PurpleThrobber said:Let's be clear. There are shitty white trash women too.

I know someone who had family living in the old Cabrini-Green housing complex in Chicago. They lived in a city west of Chicago. Going to visit family was another world experience.DerekJohnson said:

I hear middle class black people describe situations everyone experiences as racism. Black privilege is never acknowledging anything that happens to you is ever your fault or just a normal negative interaction. It's always an example of racism.
The government went around in big cities and identified the single mother households. Then they herded them into low income housing, with large apartment buildings housing only single mother households. By default, all these kids grew up knowing only that type of life. They didn't have next door neighbors with a nuclear family and a successful dad. They didn't have role models for success and happy, functioning families. All they knew was poverty and misery. Naturally, it perpetuated itself. -
How come only white schools and neighborhoods have to be desegregated, and all the black schools and neighborhoods cry "gentrification" and "displacement" when white people move into their neighborhoods?SFGbob said:
In a perverted way desegregation also contributed to that situation. And no I'm not calling for segregation. The welfare state was/is bad for all races but it really hammered blacks.DerekJohnson said:

Could there be some kind of hate and resentment-based double-standard going on here? I often wonder. -
I'm for the least amount of lowlifes near me

Years ago there was a strip club in Dallas called the Million Dollar Saloon. My co-workers were addicted so we would go there when in town. Strip joints have never been my cup of tea. We pile out of the taxi and on the way to the door this dude pulls up in a Lincoln with the old steer horns on the front of the vehicle. A classic character. 10 gallon hat, boots and a tan polyester suit. Asks me if I park cars, I say yeah, I park cars, he throws me the keys and a $10 spot and I park his car. My co-workers thought it was hilarious. He and the valet figured out what was up by the time I got back to the door and neither was too pleased. I gave up the $10 spot and was on my merry way.
Those racist bastards. -
My daughter had a soccer tournament in Raleigh, I had some meetings in Boston so went to the airport afterwards for the direct flight to RDU. Got to the hotel in jacket and tie and raced to my room to change and meet the parents down at the bar where someone had already ordered a drink for me. Got downstairs and was talking with the rest of the folks when another couple looked at me and asked if I was their Uber driver. I told them yes, asked them to wait a second and finished my drink in front of them, and said ok- Let's head out.

When white people started moving out to the suburbs "White Flight" was routinely used as a pejorative and cited as proof of how racist white people are.TurdBomber said:

For the last 20 years, as more Hispanics move into the South Central area of Los Angeles, blacks have been moving out of the area with many of them moving out to Riverside and San Bernardino counties for bigger houses and yards and the hope of better schools. I challenge anyone to find a description in the media of this "black flight" being motivated by racism against Hispanics.

Imagine that you really do believe that the this country is a racist shit-hole as you know both Michelle and Barack do, and the best example you have of how racism has impacted you in America is that someone thought you were a valet or didn't notice you waiting in line.Bendintheriver said:

And then remember that both of these people dealing with this racist horror have benefited greatly their entire adult lives from their skin color. Both of them got into Ivy League schools through affirmative action, Barack was made editor of the Harvard Law Review almost surely because of his skin color. Despite being a mediocre law student Michelle was still hired by a top 50 law firm where she under performed.
