You're not going to get me to concede.
So if a LL team breaks out a pair of 19 year olds they are Champs too that won "on skill". Gotcha.

I understand you will not concede. People like you who see race in everything are stubborn and impossible to reason with. You are also quick to label everyone, and I do mean everyone, who does not agree with you as a racist. That says everything about you, you are the worst racist I have come across in a long time.

What you don't realize is the damage people like you cause. People look at your posts and it just fuels the racial divide. Then they resort to posting videos of other AAs acting like fools as if to say "see".

I feel sorry for you. You keep saying you are not bothered but you aren't fooling anyone. You have a lot of hate inside of you. No doubt much of it is justified given what you have seen. But it's now a crutch that you will break out whenever, even when it does not apply. And that makes you a sad, angry, irrational person.

The funny thing is, you almost certainly say this thinking it illustrates strength of character...

I wish obama were not just half white, but totally white, he would have lost in the elections.

I am sorry that he was elected just for his color of skin.. he is doing a very sucky job. he only got elected because of his skin color.

I hope Hillary does not win 2016 because the low information voters will say "wow our first woman president" notwithstanding that she would be a terrible president.
A Democrat beats a Republican and it's because he's black? News to me! I could swear the vast majority of blacks have been voting Democrat for decades now, whether if they've been white or not.

It's called "Diary of a mad black woman"! Maybe you should Google next time. Did you even see the movie? Not seeing how the plot of that movie fits into this thread

I'll just leave this here.

And given the recent discussion of this thread, this might be appropriate as well.

No problem. You should. It's interesting.

The jist of the thread is people claiming that 2010's Chicago is just as bad or worse than 1950's Chicago.

I care about boundaries. A lot of people that live in "Chicago"land don't.

Rules (and arbitrary boundaries) do mean something. Even though a lot of people claim (arbitrary) boundaries that don't mean anything.

This would be a good time to close the thread. It's always sad when it devolves into race-baiting.

I agree. The thread devolved into personal attacks and off-topic discussions. A number of off-topic posts have been deleted. The thread will remain closed.
