Whites are just more determined now to treat good Black people the same as they would anybody else.

No reason not to.

It is just the thugs ,gangsters and other troublemakers we have an issue with.

I'll answer you. As I recall your earlier post, the AA men you mentioned were working and doing their job with you as customer. Perhaps they were as nice as you perceived them to be. Perhaps they were just doing their jobs. I'm not sure the situation was conducive to being sure either way.

As a white guy i've never had one problem with anyone from a racial standpoint, everyone gets treated as equals by me.

This forum is full of nutjobs that take far too many extreme views on things.


Most average everyday people are civilized and act politely regardless of color. LOL.

You see that pretty frequently on the NYC forum...people who visit the city for the first time and then are shocked to find so many people were friendly.
I have heard from a lot of friends who visited NYC how they were expecting rudeness but didn't get it. One even lost her purse full of cash on the subway, only to find it at the hotel she was staying at with all her cash intact. Apparently she had a hotel key and some Good Samaritan brought her purse back to her.

I won't treat my friends any differently then I have in my life time. They are my good friends, and we have many things in common.


Why would I treat my friends differently because of the actions of thugs, and people who believe that violence solves problems while creating chaos all around them. I would never do that. Most of us do want the same things out of life, and I have always said on this forum, there is good and bad in all races, and those who have an agenda, regardless of what color they are.


At the end of the day, A surgeon as the one's in Dallas, who in my opinion are brave souls and I am proud them, and showed us today, that they want this problem solved. They would not treat one color of skin any differently then the other. We all bleed the same color blood.


I have had my friends for over 20 and some 30 years, so these are not fly by night friendships. I was raised and I truly was to see the good in all people my grandmother instilled this in me, she would be disappointed in me. Because I too and can admit it, get caught in the gloom and doom. And say things in the spur of the minute without hesitation . I think we all are guilty of saying things we do not mean in the moment, and maybe from this point on, we need to truly listen to each other. These situations these racial problems we still face, sadden me, I wish we could solve the problem.


If we cannot come together as one, then we will not solve this problem. Isn't enough enough~

Believe me, I know where we stand.
Yeah, only in your own mind. I personally never pass a black person by and then call them the n-word behind his or her back. That's insane!

The elitists like Hillary put blacks in the projects far away from their elite neighborhoods.. give them a welfare check which black people barely exist on.. the black men can't find a good job or any kind of job.. thanks to Nafta.

Blacks are getting educated. I believe they are becoming smarter, stronger, and more independent. But we have those who are trapped in the projects, women who are trying to raise their children alone. There are good mothers and try their best and it is not easy. Raising kids without a father is tough. Peer pressure is pulling these kids into crime , drugs and it is destroying them. I see the potential in these kids to be successful and strong.

We need more jobs , better jobs and stop the global takeover of our economy. I don't want to see a bunch of Detroits around the country. When jobs leave , poverty sets in..

I also see many white neighborhoods too where every person is on welfare because that last factory closed and went to Mexico. I have talked to the towns people in PA.. some towns have the entire main street area closed. No pizza parlor. no movie house, because they don't have the money to buy a pizza and go to a movie. There houses are old and crumbling.

Same with black neighborhoods. It is hard..

The elitist of this nation give lip service only . They are allowing jobs to disappear and poverty follows.
