Discrimination Suit At Barneys New York Is Quickly Becoming Jay-Z’s Problem

Well he said white people in Europe. they have about as much experience in real every day American life as rich White Liberals, or rich white Conservatives for that matter.

i don't get the correlation you're making.

[decocker 7,198]

People often romanticize that which they are the furthest away from.

It's perfectly natural. Some people think they want to live on a farm or in a different time era. Or in another country.

Sometimes it lives up to expectations, often then never realized the down side.

uh. because europe doesn't have getos?

They don't understand. Several of my Nephews are enamored with hip-hop. I remember sitting around with the in-laws in the PI.They asked me if I liked Obama. I did not support him. They said you don't like him because he is black. They get liberal media there I had to explain why I did not like him. My wife did not understand. After 2 years here she does. She still asks all the time. Will the Government provide that?

Well altering a title is well known NO NO

They sound like rich white liberals. Never been exposed to it and don't understand.

Nah, they were regular folks. Middle class at best. They only know what they see on TV. To them, it's barbeques, cars on D's, tight clothes, and dudes with gold chains on. Their entire education was based on rap videos and word up magazines. It's funny to see the soldiers dress like that after work, wearing sunglasses at night in the club.

The only reason I come here is to be insulted.

My goodness. I did not see the original title. However, I clearly thought, before Jay-Z's response, that he should wait until a full investigation into the allegations before pulling out his support. After all, he is a business man.

With this being said, I still think it is wrong to profile people.

If you read Danno's post, it clearly shows the type of thinking that black people have to deal with on a day to day basis. I don't dish it and do not expect to receive it. I think this is so little to expect but so hard to achieve.

You must love crime.

You must love crime.

No, but every black person is not going to rob you, every Chinese person is not going to bootleg your clothes, every white man is not going to rape you, every Nigerian person does not do email scams, etc.

People have a right to be treated fairly until they prove that they are not trustworthy.

thank you

And we have farms, does that mean we all understand farm life?
