Anyone can sag a pair of jeans. It's no big thing. But it takes a certain age, gender and skin color for it to SCARE THE BEJEEZUS out of someone..

The "gangbanger looking type" is just a style - a very popular style. It'll pass in the coming decade though.

OMG! I was in the Oak Knoll subdivision in Burr Ridge and I almost died! I saw a guy driving a Bentley and just about had a heart attack! Sooooo dangerous and "section 8" of that guy!

Everyone keep living in your liberal fantasy world. You can have 'em all. You can continue to pay for their LINK cards & Sec. 8 housing. I prefer civilised neighborhoods & people.

That video shows some poor behavior...but guess what? Did you notice all the other people in the background who was trying to stop this from happening? Only about 5 guys broke into the store and ran in...the other BLACK people there condemed those actions...so what is your point of posting this video????? When did this happen in the Chicago area?

I'm more worried about this happening than what you posted because it happens MUCH MORE FREQUENTLY!! (and has happened to me several times when I don't even dress/act ghetto at all)


Racism in an upscale store


And before you say anything, even though this was not a "REAL" situation, the reactions were very real..so before you go on your "liberal media" bashing rant, just realize that this crap happens all the time.

So the real comes out. You'll enjoy yourself more in the Politics & Controversies forum.

I'm not going to answer anything. Honestly, I was simply looking for an answer to my ORIGINAL QUESTION which no one seems to know. This has gone way off topic and no one seems to have a credible answer. You Section 8 apologists can keep on bantering amongst yourselves, but i'm done with this topic.


Au revoir!

Ah, and now the punchline. God, the victim complex of conservatives in this country never ends...

No, you prefer to stay in your home and wait for Glenn Beck to come on....

My liberal fantasy world is one where I live in the city, work in the Loop, rinse, repeat. My taxes, my vote.

What's the deal with all these folks moving into what were previously nice suburbs? Are these the Robert Taylor/Cabrini refugees?
Yes Burr Ridge is getting more and more dangerous all the time. Like yesterday I saw a couple little girls all decked out in abercrombie kids asking $.75 for a cup of Lemonade! Must have been to pay for the clothes. I was like WTF is this world coming to?
