One would think but obviously you still have backward ignoramuses that ain't get the memo yet.

When I saw the St Patty fights I saw - A bunch of idiots fighting
When I saw the Casino fights I saw - A bunch of idiots fighting

The end

Your comments about gentrification, voting Republican, raising your kids properly, etc...are all subjects that go WAY beyond the "latest fight" timeline so trying to turn the discussion into what race had the LATEST fight is a moot point. So drop all that extra nonsense and stick to just what happened at the casino OR if you want to expand the discussion beyond the fight then expect people like myself to expand it as well. You can't have it both ways without being hypocritical.

You're good.

I think what we are all losing focus over is that it's a class thing - F**K the race issue. I honestly hate going home now on Fridays because the A train is so packed with people going to the casino. Nowadays, I try to stay in the city and have a few drinks before going home at 5 PM. And what a bunch of lowlifes - of all races. I'm being honest. I still think it's a fun place to go spend a couple hundred bucks for the night and even for me it's great cause its not far from my house - but it's a class thing man. Majority of people make a certain amount of money in life, you're not gonna act a certain way.

It's definitely not a race thing and I'm not even sure it's a class thing. I think it was mostly an alcohol thing…..unless someone can explain to me the difference between this incident and the countless yearly spring break riots that pop up all over the country where hundreds of middle and upper middle class white college kids go on drunken rampages and destroy neighborhoods with hundreds getting injured.

The one last year in Calif was a good example:

So,what's the diff ?

EXACTLY. That's why in my previous post I stated that brawls tend to happen when you mix alcohol, ego and ignorance together.

Difference is that one took place in NYC and shut down business enterprises causing a loss of revenue and an increase to insurance costs for our city. The others I could care less about.

Save yourself the trouble, it's ridiculous over there. Every crime where the perpetrator is Black there's hate and the usual all Blacks are like this crap in there.

Agreed. It's hard to convince people that have warped views though.

This is why Sheldon Silver blocked proposals that would have put the casino in Manhattan or even in desirable parts of Brooklyn and Queens.

Who really gambles? Not well off people. Poor miserable people hoping for a miracle would be the biggest gamblers. Don't get me wrong, people with money might go out to a casino to play a little and say eat or drink or go to a performance or whatever. But serious gamblers are low class people looking for an easy way out.

So clearly it's a class thing.
