Tell Me about Buffalo, New York

[Dee62]

Originally By Dee

Yes since the year 2000 75% of Erie counties (Buffalo areas) new population Growth has been from newly released Prison Convicts On Probation Or Parole!!

Rochester NY has higher crime rates than Buffalo. The city has an unusually high murder rate. The highest in the nation. But most Rochesterians and the town media (Democrat @ Cronicle) will not admit to these facts. And the entire city outside the inner loop fiasco has deteriorated just like Buffalo. Forget this city as well!

Do you just make up all of your stats?

While Rochester does have a higher murder rate than Buffalo, at 24.9 per 100,000, it is far from the highest, which is Compton, CA at 67.1 per 100,000.

And as for the 75% ex-con and parolee population growth stat you posted...I cannot find anything where I can even find out that information, it surely seems you pulled that one from your ass as well. Especially seeing that Buffalo has had a negative (-3.6%) population growth since 2000, as stated here Moderator cut: link removed. And it seems like it is highly improbable that the state can track this information, seeing that over 9% (more than 40,000) of paroled ex-prisoners are considered absconders and cannot be located.

I registered because your comment about "blacks and hispanics attacking and killing" UB students really irritated me. You Dee, are a racist and should think before letting the drivel in your brain seep through your fingertips.

Hey buddy Buffalo is considered the biggist city in the western New York region.
When you graduate do not expect to find a job in Buffalo. The only people who find work have got to have connections with organized crime (politics).
The city is very unsafe (crime). College students have been physically attacked and killed by Blacks and Hispanics. And the Mayor is now black and he is not addressing the problem. He is the only one who could. All the sports teams suck footbal etc. The only one that is good is the hockey sabres. And their players live in all the downtown bars taking drugs. The city and region is not as multi-cultural as other metro-areas. But you have alot of black racist throw-backs running around. Them together with the white liberal bohemian crowd still examine situation in terms of Black (Negro) and White. They need to get real lives.

By vicarian

This comment was extremely racist. You have no right to talk about anything multi-cultural with this closed point of view.

westny124 and Vicarian I see the Bolivarian circles (Thought Police) are still hanging around the universities these days. It seems like the truth hurts for most of them. They have nothing better to do than go around criticizing points of view that are contrary to the Liberal agenda. These D minus quality students think that if they go around criticizing students who have conservative points of view the Liberal professors will pass them on. However this is not the case for most of these Bolivarian circle numskulls. Instead these Bolivarian numskulls have to drop out of college and run away to an intergrated semi-rural town somewhere and imagine in their minds that they are safe from Black and Hispanic crime and they the Bolivarians are not prejudiced against non-whites when they really are and so forth. Bolivarians end up being stuck in a low paying dead end job unless they can become a prison guard and most wimps like them cannot cut it in that or anywhere else!!

I am so sorry that vicarian and westny124 disagree with what I have said. But if you read the comments of the other people who posted comments it seems like my viewpoints greatly contrast with the prespectives of just about everyone. The only difference was my choice of words. To add insult to injury one person wrote about crime, urban blight and the poor economy of Buffalo and still had the audacity and insolence to disagree with me. So I came to a conclusion that Liberalism is a mental disorder.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I think you are trying to say that your viewpoints are alike most of the others. By using the word CONTRAST you are saying that your viewpoints are in opposition to the other's perspectives.

First of all, you aren't freaking royalty. So get over yourself. Its not audacity and insolence when someone disagrees with you. From seeing what you've written here its a sign of a much higher intelligence.

And again you throw in a racist statement. Do you honestly think that only black and hispanic people commit crime? There are bad eggs in EVERY race. For anyone to be looking out for only the black and hispanic man because he's probably a criminal is absurd. Its amazing that you haven't heard of any white, asian, european people committing crimes. Oh and I almost forgot to mention it, but I've noticed you've used the word "negro" a few times on this board, once in this thread. Are you aware this is not the 1960's and that it is now considered an offensive term?

To be honest, its not that I entirely disagree with you about the plight of the Buffalo area. It IS depressed, it is a dying area. There are no jobs. And the ones that are there are slowly going away. If I had to make a choice, I certainly would not pack my family up and move there. Its sad. It could be a great city. It is your choice of words that inflame me. You are making ignorant and racist statements. And you are spouting these ridiculous "stats".

It seems the only one here with a mental disorder is YOU.

[Dee62]

Westny124 the "stats" have been listed in the alternative newspaper sources every now and then. Cable news Reporters and radio talk show stations rarely list stats but never the less they do report about it briefly.

It is a fact that non-white people are committing most of the aggravated assaults and panhandlings all around. Meanwhile White students living in the city have on occasion been attacked or murdered. Although these incidents might be considered rare if White people were committing these crimes against non-whites the whites would be criticized as racists. We would have civil Rights marches and the media would gently remind the nation for years to come.

If you are embarrassed about the economic situation of western New York then I suggest you talk to our elected representatives for all the good they are. Suggest to the politicians new job growth is necessary to retain our college graduates. And to encourage new people to settle and move back to the region.

Term is still in the dictionary. Offensive? I don't know you could take it up with dictionary publishers But what the heck the sense. West if you have any more hastile comments you can PM me and can continue this discussion? or Argument?

[westny124]

I am not being hostile at all. It just astounds me that in 2007 there are still people (such as yourself) who will say such incredibly ignorant things.

From dictionary.com:

American Heritage Dictionary - Cite This Source
Ne·gro (nē'grō) Pronunciation Key
n. pl. Ne·groes Often Offensive

A Black person. See Usage Note at black.
A member of the Negroid race. Not in scientific use.

Usage Note: The Oxford English Dictionary contains evidence of the use of black with reference to African peoples as early as 1400, and certainly the word has been in wide use in racial and ethnic contexts ever since. However, it was not until the late 1960s that black (or Black) gained its present status as a self-chosen ethnonym with strong connotations of racial pride, replacing the then-current Negro among Blacks and non-Blacks alike with remarkable speed. Equally significant is the degree to which Negro became discredited in the process, reflecting the profound changes taking place in the Black community during the tumultuous years of the civil rights and Black Power movements

Just because something is in the dictionary it doesn't mean its acceptable language. There are swear words as well as other slurs in the dictionary as well.

The only way to back up your arguments is to link or quote your sources. Since you cannot, and I cannot find anything on the internet (and believe me, I honestly have tried) it weakens your argument considerably.

I agree that there are a greater number of crimes committed by minorities in most of the areas, but that is mostly because it is minorities who make up a good part of the poorer areas, for a number of reasons that we won't even get into. If you were in a ghetto that was mostly white, you can guarantee that the majority of crime would be committed by whites. It just bothers me that you continue to list blacks and hispanics as the criminals and ignore the fact that whites, asians, etc. are too. I've had one personal crime committed against me, and that was by a white person (I am white myself). I doubt I'm the only one.

Its funny that you mentioned University students being attacked and killed. I found some info on the University that shows their crime stats. According to the site, no student has been killed on or off campus since 2003 (although they have not completed compiling their 2006 info). And Buffalo state had one in 2003.

My dictionary does not list the word Negro as often offensive The word Negro is from old Latin meaning Black and there are many Senior Black people who still refer to themselves as Negros. This leads us to another debate about the term African American. Some people think that it is offensive to call a Negro person Black. These people think that Blacks today must be refered to as African Americans. In the past the Liberal White Media establishment has refered to Blacks in many different terms: Colored, Negro, Black and now some Liberal Establishment figuares in Media and the Educational system refer to them as African American!! If you are insisting the use of Negro is offensive then it could also be said that the use of Black is offensive. Thats why this topic is not worth debating!

Wow, I'd sure love to know what "alternative publication" you get your information from.

Must be some kind of conspiracy theory....

No, the topic is not worth debating because you are a thick-headed numbskull.
