What exactly do the Koreans do to "disrespect" the "black community"?

Are you familiar with the term "fighting words"? It's actually a legal term where basically punching someone in the face is Okey-Dokey. Buzz Alrdrin did this to a moon landing was fake guy that ambushed him and called him a liar blah blah blah.

We have a lot of people around this fine website that seem to think that any reaction to a persons speech, no matter what it is....is somehow a 1A violation....and it isn't.

I'm not talking about all Korean Americans but only specific shop owners. My comment is mostly directed towards those that start businesses in the black community, are rude to customers, looks down upon black in south LA, while at the same time taking their profits back to Westminster & other places. That's the disrespect I'm talking about.

And before you bring up others that might do the same thing (including blacks themselves) note that my statement isn't all inclusive...

Really? Go ride the DC metro, specifically anything that stops at Gallery Place-China Town or the Green/Yellow Line, or go hand out downtown in the evening at places like Adams Morgan, you will hear blacks throw these two words around all of the time.

While you are at it, venture out to some metro station entrances and you get to hear some group of blacks yelling on a loud speaker how whites are evil and the Bible says they should all be killed.

What are you implying the outcome will be? That yet another black person cannot act civilized, thus acts in an aggressive manner, this time assault, and goes to jail?

It is amazing all the white people that ignore the groups of blacks in the DC area standing there, yelling on loud speakers that whites are evil and should be killed.

It is shameful that you think so lowly of blacks, that you assume they all will break the law by way of assault over some words. This is truly an uncivilized stereotype you have applied to blacks. Truth is, most blacks if spoken to with racial terminology, would simply ignore it, or at least only confront the individual in a civilized manner.

That would require a Bot to actually work.

Oh, please. Every black kid in my school said n---- on a regular basis and that never stopped me from getting the education I needed. The mother sounds like she has a chip on her shoulder.

This issue is not about the word itself nor the culture of the people who use it. If it's any real issue at all, it may be that this young man was bullied and the fact that his teachers allowed it to go on.

k350, it seems that you have quite a bit of storm front type opinions. My statement doesn't have any hidden meanings, agendas or anything else. It can be taken at face value. Personally I don't shed tears for people being put in their place for spewing ignorance... You can save the racist slick talk...
