I'm not the one being racist. The racists are the Blacks who specifically choose to kill and commit violence against other Blacks. They discriminate based on race.

Uh; I think green mariner was talking about what we now call PWT "culture", it's real similar to hood rat "culture" in MOST ways. "Redneck" more and more means a plain talking decent person who works with his hands and, not all of their kind are even "white". Some Rednecks in 2016 are Black.

Thomas Sowell discussed it like this. The people who move somewhere who are poor, and then the next generation does very well for themselves. Some people find it easier to hate others for succeeding than themselves for not succeeding.
Word was the West Indian Black people in NYC were also "middlemen" like what you're talking about about 100 years ago.

Now....don't you feel better just getting that off your chest without worrying about being politically correct? Now maybe you can sleep better at night. You spent countless pages when you could have and should have just said that in the beginning....but no...you had to try to make a rational argument without truth......and when you failed you just had to come out the closet.

I aint made at you either.

Why is it racist to point out fact. If black thugs are killing each other every day and the crime rate is super high in the hood, joblessness, and a whole host of other things are all fact why is it racist to point out the obvious.

Because thats who they are... they are thugs and gang bangers and criminals..

I don't like or respect black thugs but not because they are black but rather because of their behavior, their attitude, their outlook and their overall thuggery. But the same goes for my disdain for Mexican gang members all tattooed up wearing bandanas and baggy pants and not because the are Mexicans.

Not seeing it. Like another poster said... "PWTs" don't do drive-by shootings. There's not a high PWT on PWT shooting or murder rate.

To be fair, may I ask why you care and why people like you care?

If you live in the hood, then I understand. You have a reason to worry because you're immersed in it. But if you are a non-black individual who lives in the nice pristine suburbs removed miles away from the hood, why have the fake concern? With the exception of NYC and some other major cities, most of the hoods in the US are so far out the way from the good sides and you don't find yourself in them unless you meant to.

Do you actually care and are concerned about the the issues in these environments and the "gang bangers" (in which case, you should have a resume of what you've done to help) or do you just like the feeling of being able to make yourself and your demographic look better?

Btw, I don't think what you said is racist. Facts are facts whether liberals believe it or not.

My whole point was this. It's easier to hate an immigrant group for being successful than to hate one's self for failing. The "middle man" minority is what Thomas Sowell speaks of. Some Jewish people asked Sowell what to do to minimize anti-Semitic attitudes. Sowell's response: "fail". Basically, Sowell mentions that "middle man" minorities are hated for succeeding.
