TweetAll I'll say is that segregation only ended 40-50 years ago, that's not that long ago. Racist undertones and segregated communities still linger on. So when you have a small urban area with concentrated amounts of one race, it's going to be "skin tone color on same skin tone color" crime.
Add that with the fact that a large majority of the young african american community thrives on "hip hop" music glorifying gun use, gang affiliation, peddling drugs, and encouraging violence- then it all adds up to an ugly situation.
It's a sad state of affairs. Hopefully things will pan out in the coming years. Hip hop seems to be slowly dieing so that's a good sign : )
TweetThe reason it drives me nuts is: if I make a mistake, I take the blame for it. I don't go and point the finger at someone else.
Tweethappens in the bad parts of pittsburgh all the time. Im not racist in anyway either but the black community where the penguins are building their new areana wants a certain percentage of profits bc its "in their neighborhood". They also wanted a percentage of parking etc....i mean come on what is that?
Tweetflex,
"One Hood"
Tweetdont think I should get in on this one but I think its an economic thing more than anything else. Crack is prevalent in black communities that are impovrished and meth is prevelent in white communities that are impovrished. Some hip hop is shit two step clap beat glorifying shit garbage but there is some hip hop that is just "telling in like it is" so to speak so cant say Id have issue with that. Jay Z, em, pac, etc great shit!!!!!
Has anyone on here ever seen the wire on HBO. really good look at this issue. Its a cops and bad guys show but really high quality honest look at baltimore md and the horrible poverty and crime that city deals with and how pretty much all parties involved (schools, white, black, politicians, cops, drug dealers) are all at fault
I just wish they would stop worrying about roids (hormones found naturally in our bodies ) and put all that money and manpower on this kinda bullshit

TweetHappens all the time near where I live. Two nights ago there were for shootings in the same city within in 4 hr time frame....
TweetWell, in the city where I live the mayor is black, the chief of police is black as is most of the force. The city itself is about 60% black. Everyone blames everyone else but they're all black so I guess that's progress for ya. I live in a Southern city, so there have obviously been racial problems in the past. I guesss whitey has gotten the fuck out so he can't be blamed any longer.
