  • I know there's already plenty of spins to this, but yikes.

    I grew up pretty poor, I think if I drove through East Cleveland late at night I'd probably get dragged out of my car (or worse)

    This rhetoric adds to racial divides IMO - keeps pushing the idea that you're black, you're white, you're Hispanic, you're asian. The bottom line is you need to be American first IMO.

    That actually happened to my parents when my mom was pregnant with me, and it wasn't even at night. Mom, dad, uncle, two of uncle's friends were in the car. A black guy comes up and kicks the car while they're stopped at an intersection. Uncle gets out to go beat the shit out of him. As they're fighting, more and more people, all black, show up to join the fight and beat the shit out of some white kids. There's about 10 vs 4. Another car full of black people show up, my dad, who happened to be on the football team, recognized one of his teammates from this new car. He shouts to him, "Hey man, we could use your help," and everyone stops fighting. Stupid, racially motivated bullshit.

  • A buddy and I went to E St. Louis about 15 yrs ago to score some weed. It was a really bad neighborhood. I was in the passenger side and my buddy ran up some stairs to talk to his dealer. I forewarned him if I got into any shit it was on him.

    My buddy was taking forever and I was getting antsy when 2 black dudes approached me. It was summer time and late at night. One of them grabbed a shovel and told me to give him all my money.

    Let's just say that when my buddy finally came down I was sitting in the passenger side with two black dudes out cold by the truck.Lol

    No idea why I told you really but after reading VaporTails post it got to jogging my memories of bad places.

    I had an Ethiopian coworker who was appalled at the conditions in certain parts of WV. Below third world.

  • Well Bernie has to do something to stop the bleeding, 90% of blacks are going with Hillary for some unknown reason. In the Democrat Party, Black people blame white people, white people blame corporations.

    PS PolitiFact is a left-wing organization. That doesn't make them wrong across the board just, you know, keep that grain of salt handy.

    They're actually owned by a right leaning paper. Tampa Bay Times. They endorsed Romney in the last election.
