You don't come out an call anyone a ni33er but you insinuate none the less.
You have come here and labeled "all" black people one or more negative things.

I stated in another thread and I'll restate it to you, those that label "all" people in a particular group to be the same, those are not the ignorant people, you are!!

I live around many different people, socialize and interact with them, thank goodness they are bright enough to look at me and see a {criminal laden black culture} but that's what I get for not living around bigots.
Right on! They constantly talk about blacks as if they're experts. It's so tiresome!

Demographics of San Francisco:
* White alone - 367,507 (45.1%)
* Asian alone - 250,627 (30.7%)
* Hispanic - 117,492 (14.4%)
* Black alone - 47,596 (5.8%)
* Two or more races - 23,760 (2.9%)
* Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander alone - 3,706 (0.5%)
* Other race alone - 2,810 (0.3%)
* American alone - 1,859 (0.2%)

And if you do think only Black people count as "diverse," how about Oakland? Approximately 80% of Oakland residents voted for Obama (and 75% voted for Kerry), and their population is over 27% Black and 25% Hispanic. Then you have our other major city, San Jose, which actually has a larger population than San Francisco... they are heavily Democrat-leaning, and predominantly Hispanic & Asian. Whoops!
Alameda County does not equal Oakland. Oakland is about 10% or even more liberal (as far as voting patterns) than Alameda County. Yes Alameda County voted around 80% for Obama but Oakland voted over 90%. Alameda County voted 57% to legalize recreational marijuana use but Oakland voted 66% for it. Alameda County voted 62% against Prop 8 but Oakland voted around 70% against it.
