I am black and it is one of the big things I see everyday, especially where I live. Half may be a strong word but I am getting sick and tired of the garbage regardless.I didn't know half of all black people were thugs.Do you seriously go around thinking that BS?

I understand and completely agree with what the guy is saying but it is absolutely moronic to apply that to half of an entire race.I didn't know half of all black people were thugs.Do you seriously go around thinking that BS?

Maybe not half but Im not too far off.
[QUOTE="heretrix"]I am black and it is one of the big things I see everyday, especially where I live. Half may be a strong word but I am getting sick and tired of the garbage regardless. I have heard it from other ethnic groups as well. I don't know, I guess I am tired of reading stuff like that online and when I get texts. After a while, it might rub on you to school papers, job interviews, etc. I don't even type like that in my texts/posts ever. I might not have perfect grammar, but I want people to understand what I am saying.I didn't know half of all black people were thugs.Do you seriously go around thinking that BS?

since you don't have the experience of meeting every black person on the planet, I'd say you are WAY off.This is true, BUT saying there is a 50/50 chance that a black person you see is an ignoramus is pretty damn ignorant in itself. I understand and completely agree with what the guy is saying but it is absolutely moronic to apply that to half of an entire race.Thus me saying the word "Half" may have been too strong but I know what he means.[QUOTE="GrandJury"][QUOTE="heretrix"]I am black and it is one of the big things I see everyday, especially where I live.

So far he's just complaining about the expressions of young people. :| How is using slang 'ignorant'? How very out of touch...Doctor-McNinjaNo I don't think so. It is embarrasing when people act or say things stupid to be cool. Like his first example the word "Street" why in the world would anybody call it "Skreet"?

I might not have perfect grammar, but I want people to understand what I am saying. I have to sometimes go into grammar cop mode because it really annoys me when people intentionally misspell words. For example "lose" is not spelled "loose". They in fact, mean two completely different things, but I see people do it all the time and it drives me crazy..lol. And don't get me started about twitter.I didn't know half of all black people were thugs.Do you seriously go around thinking that BS?

In every race there are your share of morons and people do themselves a huge disservice thinking only black people are like that or are the worst people doing it. I think the TC needs to get out more.
Thus me saying the word "Half" may have been too strong but I know what he means.GrandJuryI was talking about the thread creator, not you. I understand where he is coming from, but two wrongs don't make a right as they say.People need to get their perceptions straight on both sides of this mess. People need to open their minds a bit.

It is embarrasing when people act or say things stupid to be cool. Like his first example the word "Street" why in the world would anybody call it "Skreet"? I dont see a problem. Why do people say DUDE when a proper word can be said? Why do people assume because one talks in a way, they are trying to be cool? I just dont get this way of thinking..
wait, so all black people are what hes preaching against? Why should I applaud him?Tjeremiah1988He is not preaching to all black people, he is specifically addressing a select group within the population....I agree with some of his stuff, but not everything...
but what if everyone wanted to be a "rock star" (:P) ? Would there be a problem? People can be who they want to be, I see no problem. Goes for any race.He's going too far a bit but to an extent I agree, down here in my country it's cool to be "gangsta" personally I don't see the point of it.

So acting gangsta leads to violence? I dont get it :? Theres a difference from acting and actually being one which a gangsta really isnt a gangster.. Gangstas are black (not saying you said that) ?

[QUOTE="Tjeremiah1988"]wait, so all black people are what hes preaching against? Why should I applaud him?Dante2710He is addressing those who think butchering the English language and acting thuggish is somehow "cool". In the end, it makes you look like a low life. but I assume he fails to mention other races as they contribute to the butchering of the English language and carry on with their thuggish ways.

He was talking about blacks in this case, this could also be applied to any race out there, latino, hispanics, whites etc.

Holy crap, I have a friend from Trinidad....and holy **** they have to sign peace treaties. Its impressive they could get them to do it, but at the same time terrifying that the gangs have so much power[QUOTE="Tjeremiah1988"]but I dont see how he, according to the TC, OWNS black people. Dante2710You are getting defensive over something as trivial as semantics, he is just giving those a taste of reality and how their are view within the majority of the society. which is rather stupid, that the majority views black people as thugs and on a mission to butcher the english language. Its kind of sad and silly.

Alot of it as well is the Jamaican influence in the country, their violent and homophobic tendancies are being more and more imprinted on our society to the point I don't know an openly gay person, I have never really seen one either.. well not one that I could identify. I've seen a video of one getting beaten by a community of people though.
