<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (BluffCityBlue @ Jul 8 2007, 09:31 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Okay, this is the post BALLA deleted cause he thought I was arguing with Primetime....I hate the word "african-american". If your black, you get labeled this by people cause they feel it isnt racist...but in reality its very ignorant. Just becuase your black, it doesn't mean you have ancestors from Africa. Theres native people form South America and several other areas thats not in Africa who are black. And even if your ancestors are from Africa...that doesn't make you African, so why are black people called "African-American"? Its like calling a redheaded person from America "Irish-American". The way I see it, if your black and your from America, your either "black" or your "American". Not "African-American". Just my opinion....EDIT: All Im saying is, ive heard people in Boston are generally mean to each other. Asking if its true...sortve like southern hopitality...just the complete opposite.</div>99% of black peoples origins trace back to africa. What I wanna know is why asians get pissed when you call them chinese or japanese? I dont get pissed because people call me black and not nigerian/jamaican/ethiopian etc. No one cares about what country your origin is!
So its true. I actually went to Boston about 4 years ago, people seemed okay, they werent a-holes, but they werent particularly welcoming.People are very nice in Memphis....just about everybody.

It's funny that people think New Orleanians have that Tennessee/Mississippi/Alabama/Georgia accent, but going through those states I saw that we definitely don't.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (noballer07 @ Jul 8 2007, 08:13 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>And you're right. Everyday you can't turn on the news without hearing about a black male killing another black male over drugs or money or something as stupid as who gets to tap a girl. I don't want Justice coming in here trying to decry this, but its another reason and effect of why black males are generally seen as bad fathers and men overall.</div>Nah, I pretty much agree. Young men wouldn't join gangs and bang girls unsafely if they thought they could go to college and make hundreds of thousands of dollars. Socioeconomic factors, education, and crime all go hand in hand. We could argue about what causes those relationships, but it's a fact that there is a strong correlation.<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (CelticBalla32 @ Jul 8 2007, 08:34 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>What?

I haven't been to Boston, but when I went to NYC, I was nice and warm to people and it was pretty much foreign to them.

-I know this should be in my sig, but it's the drug laws stupid. It's a funny world right now. So obvious. Feds'll prosecute Border patrol agents and give the drug smuggler immunity - and get away with it. Kill the illegal drug trade and everything becomes clearer. Partnership for a Drug Free America has been tainted by Pharmaceutical, Tobacco, and Alcohol funding for years. Add it up.-Latino gangs are definitely tighter than black ones. They run southern California. This is probably due to their own nationalistic pride. They are an extension of their own country, IMO. But the way politicians brazenly allow illegals in this country reeks of social engineering, probably connected to the Ethnic Cleansing that redneck denoted earlier. It's not an accident people.
