My Father worked with a guy from the islands .Hmm, I'm no rap music fan but some idiot left their car at a gas station pump while inside the store and the rap song blaring out of the stereo had plenty of N words in the lyrics and it was a black rapper. I've overheard young black kids referring to each other as "nigga", it's only offensive if a white person used it to describe a black person. The outrage over a word is ridiculous in this age. I get it from 50 yrs ago, I remember watching TV with my Irish American Mother when MLK was assassinated and I heard her mutter under her breath "they finally got the ******". Times have changed and now the ghetto rats are getting their revenge thanks to overpaid White idiots with white guilt.
the 2 most racist people i've ever met in my life, husband and wife, came from alabama. i met them as a 12 year old in the early 60's and lived in the same apartment building as them for 2 years. you think people who use the n word are racist...they had nothing on these two. harold had to be a carded member of the klan, the mrs. was probably in the auxiliary. i will always remember the day their high school age daughter had her black boyfriend come over to meet the folks. i was 30 seconds away from watching and honest to god lynching as harold was trying to throw this guy off the 3rd floor balcony while the wife was stabbing him with a meat fork as the men of the building tried to break in and save the guy. he did survive. don't know about the relationship, though.
.... ever seen a calsdad post? The northeast is more racist than anything I've seen in the south the past year and a half I've been hereWell......no surprise it's Mississippi. Lots of pure ignorant shit stains in that state still.
How can he be racist if he is speaking the truth?My Father worked with a guy from the islands .
The guy was literally a walking eclipse .
Think Michael Clark Duncan from the green mile. I mean huge.
Absolutely hated american blacks .
His first week on the job when everyone was gathered around he said he wanted to get something straight.
He pointed to a group of black guys that were there and said "Those are n***ers , I'm a black man ." "Don't mix it up."
Those guys didn't say squat as they were all scared shit of him.
It's not just good old boys who can be racist.
Yep. The North is just more covert, that’s all..... ever seen a calsdad post? The northeast is more racist than anything I've seen in the south the past year and a half I've been here
Context, intent, etc... they matter.Is anybody there interested in finding out more about the alleged 13 people this guy killed or just that he used an offensive word?
Random white guy: “that n….”
Society: sound screeches to a halt, cancelled, fired, broke, house burned down and family run out of town
Dr Dre et al: “that n…”
Society: “Hoorah! Turn it up so the neighbors 2 blocks away can hear it over their f***ing lawnmower as you drive by”
makes literally billions of dollars, receives awards, accolades, 5 star accommodations and hookers and blow anywhere in the world
i certainly don't know, i didn't know her. i was 12, she was 17. she probably looked like an old woman to me. i remember vividly my mom looking out the kitchen window, the stairs going up to the 3rd floor were visible. you can just see them in the pic i got up. she saw the girl going up followed by the guy. he was dressed in those navy whites. and she said something like "don't tell me she's bringing him upstairs to her parents."Didn’t she realize her parents were going to blow a head gasket?
To piss of her parents?no one knew why the daughter did that.
Breaking news: Guy who lived in CA & MA thinks the south is racist! *clutches pearls*I lived in Georgia and NC for almost five years. If I never again return to the South, it'll be too soon.
I get it. A lot of people love it, and they're welcome to it. But it's not for me. I didn't really notice an inordinate amount of overt racism (I was in the Army, so I'd have been insulated from a lot of that) but the de facto segregation was noticeable in terms of where people lived, where they shopped, what kinds of jobs they did, etc. That's not why I can't handle the south, though.
I've seen ingrained discrimination everywhere I've lived, except Wyoming. People there truly don't care all that much.

I've never met a single ma**h*** that didn't say this, it must be on the driver's license test or something.
It was really all the white guy virtue signaling in the thread that cracked me up. I didn't mean to single you out on it.Lol. Did you read what I wrote?
I said everyplace is racist. Except Wyoming.
I also said the racism isn't why I dislike the south. And that it's not even all that overt.
Try harder, man.
When I was in boot camp at FT. Benning in 1989 the black mess hall ladies used to howl at my Boston accent. We had a female Black armorer who used to call me "Boston" when we drew weapons and she used to say to me. "PFC. Boston, y'all got the funniest accent". The minute we got off the bus from the airport we tumbled off the bus and stood at attention while a black Drill SGT. walked down the line asking every recruit where he was from. I was the old guy, 33 yrs old and when he came to me he did the whole Drill Sgt hat bump on my forehead and said, "Where you from boy?", I replied "Boston Drill SGT." He replied ,"I HATE Boston and the f***ing Celtics". So began my Military careerThe south might be racist and have tons of brown people but at least nobody has that f***ing terrible down syndrome boston accent.
What specifically is part of the lifestyle down there?I'd love to be wrong. But it's part of the lifestyle down there.

Seriously, growing up in California (NOT Cali) , in the early 60s, when I heard JFK speak on the radio, I had a hard time comprehending why our President spoke with a foreign accent.
