[QUOTE="LaserRed38, post: 6656528, member: 582808"] Ah lol. Apparently I struck a nerve. Eh, you have some valid points, but you just don't have the sense to put it into words eloquently. By your logic, every little hoodlum walking the "streets" with an Obama-tee can expect to become president one day. Because they had HOPE. Sorry bud, not happening. I grew up down the street from some of the worst neighborhoods in Oakland. I never had any direct friends get killed, but friends of friends...yup. So you're saying that a ghetto of upper class blacks who went to college and got real jobs, gives the poor welfare dependent thugs hope to get out? Why do they have to "get out" and move into another all black neighborhood? So you can all gather 'round and sing Kumbaya, thanking the Lord for your good fortune? Why does it have to be a BLACK upper class neighborhood. Why can't you just aspire to do well for yourselves and not have to be about race? And maybe in YOUR community people repeat what they see, but I think for myself thanks. Reminds me of a Mark Twain quote I like "when you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect why." I don't do what everyone else does. I agree with you, to an extent, with the whole notion that people do what they see everyone else do. But you know what an all black upper class neighborhood is breeding? A mini-society of black elitists who think they are better than their thug-life brethren because they made something of themselves. And it breeds jealousy in the ghetto. If they just aspired to do well for themselves and be a contributor to the overall good of the human race, and not just the BLACK community, the world would be a better place and racism would start to disappear. White people don't really set out to make a good living so that they can move into an all white upperclass neighborhood; that's just silly. There's not really good way to end this post, but you would piqué my interest in responding further if you actually cared to respond with actual words and complete sentences, minus direct personal attacks (which I didn't direct to you, only my own personal experiences with a variety of people). But then again, this is the Thunderdome at CA.com, and I'm posting in a thread started to grab attention to black people, as if you/they don't clamour for enough as it is. How could I possibly expect more. [/QUOTE]
