I think you're joking, but given the level of paranoia and outright idiocy I see on these forums, I honestly can't tell.

Mayfair is such a cesspool that I bet the houses surrounding it only cost $250k. I've been murdered there three times.

You guys are killing me!!! LOL

But seriously, as a young black male, I can tell you that this is the vibe that a lot of white suburbanites give off. I think that some of the behavior of some of the young black teens who cause trouble at Mayfair is partially motivated by it. ("Let's go scare some racist white folks")

This is just pure speculation, but when I was a teenager, I had friends who thought like this.

I had black friends and puerto rican friends that loved to go out to the suburbs and scare white people as well. Being the only white person among my friends, I quietly thought "oh that will help your image" but what was I going to say or do these were my friends at the time, in high school anyways.

^^^Yeah, it's just a foolish thing to do. All it does is reinforce the stereotypes.

I was joking around... it's sad I have to state that but I know exactly where you're coming from.

I agree, but when you take the racial aspect out of it, you're left with a bunch of teenagers doing typical (immature) teenager things. The suburbanites could go a long way in ending the problems by not being prejudiced (thereby not making themselves targets... thereby reducing the number of bad ass kids they deal with).

But why should they be bothered to examine anything about themselves and what they might be doing to contribute to a hostile situation when it's so easy to just blame it all on hip hop?

Look up "racist" in the dictionary you moron. You'll find a picture of yourself (and the President!)
Interesting that an expert on racism such as yourself doesn't have a problem with the actual title of this thread, yet would take issue with what I said in response to it... which itself could only be construed as racially prejudiced without the context that you conveniently chopped out of your reply. And since you know so much about racism, I'm sure you already knew that the definition in the dictionary is incorrect and actually refers to racial prejudice rather than racism (which again, I don't have to tell you since you're such a thorough and knowledgeable expert on the subject).

Oh, and your random, unwarranted shot at the president... classy! What else are they telling you to think at the Rush Belling lobotomy emporium?
