Don't need the rep mate. And I'm not taking the bait to enter into internet arguments about race.
I wasn't repping you. Wasn't talking to you. I don't associate with racists who are my own color, so I don't see any need to have anything to do with you and your hate. Let's not talk, eh?
When you've addressed your own racism, we might attempt communication, but until then, welcome to my ignore list.
I think with the high crime rate of Barboursville, it would be much more dangerous for a black person to walk around there at night. Now on the other hand we all know very well that a white person walking around at night in Detroit would be absolutely safe. So I hope this wonderful black family does not take such a deadly gamble and move into a crime infested area like B'ville when they could move to a safe city like Detroit, New Orleans, Washington DC , etc.
Yeah, I know. The sodomites are 2 states away, but I'm going to post that from now on in every WV racist thread anyway. It's not what I think, it's what they think. Sometimes I talk to natives about things I've heard and they bowl over laughing. When in Rome . .
Re : current occupant of the White House, the first time I heard him called a "snake oil salesman" was in West Virginia, and it was a black man who said it. When the ACLU came to West Virginia, presenting at the universities, "racism in the election", I discussed this propaganda campaign with a black man, and he responded, "Well, I'm a Republican . . I don't know what to say to that."
The original poster is black, got a job in the second poorest state in the country, where about only 5% of the population is black, in an economy where 15% are unemployed or underemployed (Bureau of Labor Statistics), and is worried about racism? I invite the original poster to come with me to a black revival where the minister delivers the words, "white devil", and then we'll discuss racism. If that doesn't interrupt the propaganda channel, look at any law enforcement statistics; the majority of violent crime perpetuated against blacks, is by blacks.
I'm just saying, if the original poster has a preconceived view that it's okay to look at people of different color like they're racists, I'd suggest the mirror as a good starting point to unlearn hypocricy.
Yeah WV is all fine. One never would experience one racist situation in the state, dark people are loved the world over. It's only the dark man that espouses racist overtures now. Come on, old ways die hard, and some continue right on to this day. Not to completely denigrate your comment, as some reverse racism does occur. The problem that I have however is the width of the brush that you just utilized in your last post.
The "founding fathers" believed in freedom. Not socialism. Taking the money I earn and giving it to someone else is socialism. I care about the welfare of my fellow man. I just don't want to support him. Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Is health care a god given right? No! Neither is taking what I work so hard for and giving it to another. God forbid anyone speak out, saying what they think or feel. You are labled as an "angry white man"
I believe in freedom. Freedom of thought, freedom of choice. I suggest you read books on the founding fathers. You may find how they really thought. Our "founding fathers" had a dream. This is not it!
They also believed in keeping people as personal property. Their thought processes aren’t infallible! The great thing about our country is the ability to change.
Are you referring to that part where only wealthy white male landowners could vote? Actually where only white males could actually own.. anything? That freedom? I mean that is how they really thought...
Really? Why don't you listen to some rap music, or some inner city dialog... you'll find the word ****** is quite acceptable amongst them. Seems only offensive when a white person says it. You may recall Jesse Jackson calling BHO a ****** on National TV. Hardly a word was said of it...
Oh, so using the work Ni**er is OK, as long as it's in the correct context? Or as long as it's Jesse Jackson? Or if it's in a hip-hop or rap song? Or is it OK, as long as it's not a whitey that says it?

Not sure I see the point of your post.
The point being the meaning, hence context. Look up the word before responding again!!

Here, I'll even hold your hand a bit, its about malice and ill intentions. As with most of the human language this word is malleable and many meanings can be contrived. I'm sure the white person using that word meant it in a completely different manner than the rapper. Context is everything especially when it comes to a possibility of insulting someone.
This is not new but denotes good manners.

Barboursville more dangerous than Detroit
