Can you imagine an old White man like George Burns for example walking through the Magnolia Projects in New Orleans, the chances of physical harm coming his way would have been very high.

I could say the exact same thing about white areas that I would avoid like the plague.

YOU don't "generalize" much, do you?

LIke I said, any Black member on here,( more than likely conservative) that reps you for your post is definitely an Uncle Tom, more so than Clarence Thomas . Heck any Black member that defends you is a big time Uncle Tom. I still don't understand how Blacks can belong to a party/movement that has members with views such as yours. I doubt any of them will counter your post, but instead attack the liberal posters on here. Boggles my mind.
calling someone an Uncle Tom is disrespectful and as bad as calling someone the n word. In your world, if a black man sees and lives life outside the realm and ideology of BET/hip hop then you basically see them as a traitor and hater of their own race? If those people are "uncle toms", then I think we need more of them. It's time to think outside your world of black vs white. If people like you didn't insist on everything being about race and worrying about "keeping it real", the world would be a better place.

All black men in the street at night are not violent or criminals. I had a young black man stop me for directions at 2:00 am one night, he seemed more afraid of me that I expected him to be. I have only rarely been stopped by a "nice" white cop. I probably have three speeding tickets in my entire life, but I have been pulled over dozens of times and have had to sit in the back of a squad car three or four times while they "check me out" I know of few places that even today a black man would not survive if he showed up there "un-chaperoned" There is a particular case that remains open today where a black man showed up at a party in the wrong county and was found dead later that night. Of course no one at the party knows what happened to him. I'm guessing he tried to hit on a white girl. This case is from the last ten years or less and it is in the Midwest. I have a suspicion that many whites who know all about the black parts of town know nothing about their own white ghettos.

For what it's worth, Jessie Jackson has not walked the
streets alone at night in a Very Long Time. He uses a limousine driver, and stays in a pent house when visiting

him anymore. That rainbow coalition gig he's got going - brings him mega bucks.

Stupid liberal woman. Hey Ms. Helmand (knocking on think skull), Juan Williams is black!
This woman reminds me Kirsten Brydum. The idealistic young white woman who thought that she would be perfectly fine riding her bike through the 9th ward of New Orleans at 1 AM. I mean, what's the worst that could happen?

I know a hunter, and he's a redneck.
Therefore all hunters are rednecks.

This logic provided free of charge by City-Data conservatives.
