No, no-that was before they moved here. You know, before everyone got so scared of them.

I find that remark hurtful.

Please explain this to dman, he doesn't get it.
More recently, Longwood banned bandana's because the kids were squaring off based on what color they wore on any given day. It became a sub culture. Plenty of white kids did this too. It was in fashion, and was the cool thing to do.
I found the lipstick color story more amusing.

Longwood also had 2 race riots in 4 years but that's another story (I LAUGH my butt off when I read the City-Data mantra regarding what districts are good versus which are bad).
And all of this stuff is happening in the lily-white neighborhoods you folks deem "Good".
No race riots to date at the Ward, which is a good thing.

That's why they had to take up cockfighting -- entertainment which ends with dinner.

It is wrong to assume every brown person wearing an LA Kings jersey is MS13. Your racist overtones creep out in many of your posts. From judging school districts by how many blacks they have to assuming all hispanic people are illegal and gang affiliated.
This is your problem, not mine.
Soj you're pretending that gangs aren't a problem on LI because I said that Bellport was a sub par district a year ago.

It is not that off the mark to assume a Latino guy on LI wearing an LA Kings Jersey is not really an LA Kings fan, but more likely a Latin Kings gang member or wannabe putting himself in harms way. I guess this somehow rocks some of your sensibilities and qualifies as profiling or discrimination. The world is an imperfect place..

..and Bellport SD still stinks regardless of how many minorities attend it.

If you see Kings attire it is often gang clothing. Take it from someone who lives in Southern California. No one cares about Hockey here.

Yes, your assumption that a hispanic wearing LA KIngs garb must be gang related makes you a racist. Absolutely. You know nothing about this guy-nothing, yet assume... This is the backbone of racism.

The only one going back a year is you. Your opinions regarding school districts speak for themselves. And if gang members are in fact roaming the very neighborhoods CD deemed acceptable, you are all stupid. The horrible place I live has no gangs, 'cause I don't see any LA Kings apparel.
Yes, the world is an imperfect place. Your posts in this thread prove this point.
Do you really think it upsets me that YOU think S. Country SD stinks?

I work in an commercial area where people are driving from as far as New Jersey and Conneticut to work. How that disqualifies what has been talked about school districts, I don't know.

As for what you qualify as racism....well, check what Sassberto said, more racism. Someone making an educated guess qualifies as racism. Right. Whatever makes you feel better.


Anything else I can type that you will mis-interpret either intentionally or not?
