I don't believe that you are actually black. I've seen some of your other posts. Honestly, I would guess that you are a white woman.

sorry buddy i know theirs a ghetto crisis in the black community but your comment is probably just as dumb as you sound.


, you dont even know every black area in the country and probably have not visited the majority of the country in your life.

my bet is you watch the news 24/7, you base all your assumptions of media(American media at worst), and you have never done any type of research to see if these generalizations are true.

stop watching Detroit , and flint news.

im starting to think the same , and if this blogger refuses to accept my request to visit the nice black area thread then i know he isn't black.

education is the key and if these blogger really refuses to slow down his generalizations then i think he is indeed a non colored man.

although I agree with you and I hate correcting people's grammar because I make tons of mistakes too, but it was just funny reading a sentence about you having more education than him, and in that sentence you made a whammy.

Its more education than him, not then him. Then him means he comes next.

Historical factors are also a big part of this. My theory is that the social, cultural, and economic factors have been shaped by history.

I agree that the history of economical disparity plays a factor in most cities, but that amounts to the black neighborhoods being more poor and more rundown, but I would not go as far as to say they are the worse neighborhoods, well at least not for this city

my education stays in school. i honestly don't have time to sit in a forum and watch how i write. i am 20 years old and grammar on a forum is the last time that worries me unless it can get me a in fracture

but you are acting very typical "so called black man" so typical that you didnt look up on what i wrote you to do but quickly came to comment on my grammar.

very typical
