I think think the whole interracial thing is more white womens choosing. They do not feel the constraints of past societal norms.

And these clueless white girls deserve everything they get.

I don't know about short end of the stick, Ive got more money in trusts and and in savings than most of these people will ever see in their lives. I'd say us white folk got it pretty good, despite not having a a white man in the white house. I can walk into any store, say I'm in the service, I graduated from Georgetown, and I guarantee im getting a job over the random colored guy looking for work.

I know plenty of hoodrats who would go out with you if you got money.

Laughable.

Funny as it sounds, it's become painfully obvious that the media wants white men to either be gay, mix with brown-complected women that many of us aren't attracted to and that also aren't attracted to us or be alone so we don't procreate to have any more white kids. Straight white males are the most oppressed group of people in this country right now by far and a lot of us are being abused from all directions.

Sounds like they've got you right by the short hairs. I'm sorry. Have you thought about moving or getting involved in your present community? Or, alternatively, a dating service?

This was the most entertaining forum I've read on here yet. Thanks, Kevin!

Just got some symbols scratched into our fence last night (halloween 2009). T and a B, but united. WHAT gang is this? Anyone know or seen the symbol in their part of the neighborhood (elmwood Park)

Tap Boys? Lol

Could be a tagger which has nothing to do with gangs

Or absolutely nothing.

so crime and blacks aren't synonymous in the village of Elmwood Park.

Yes they are!! I remember countless summers when you'd see two kids (black) ride through E.P on one bike, and then leave on two!! These weren't residents though!

Usually, initials are a tagger or tagging crew. Gang graffiti tends to be in distinct symbols, such as a crown, pitchfork, numerical designation (to signify the street or area they are from) or what have you. Sometimes, graffiti is a "diss," when one gang's symbol will be portrayed as upside down. That could mean a gang dispute is going on in the area. A lot of "gang" graffiti is done by wannabes, but you'll never know. Always take it seriously.

You should report this and make sure the Village removes it ASAP. Take an absolute zero tolerance stance when it comes to graffiti. If you let it go, more serious problems can arise.
