Whites a minority in 10 percent of U.S. counties

[Heracles 417]

hope you're wearing your asbestos undies today. you're gonna get torched.

maybe i should have said: ####### do you realize visa journey is an immigration website? almost everybody here is a "minority" or their SO is.

Boo-Yah: dude when you come out of the gate making racial remarks, you aren't going to get anyone to agree with anything you say. and then it snowballs into this.

HEY EVERYBODY: write this down smoke20 the voice of reason.

Dude I knew that was going to happen from my first post; for the exact reasons you stated. Same thing happens when you discuss Israel / Palestine or terrorists.

I dunno man, you're the one gesturing a lot towards things like 'Gee, the crime rate is high and look at the black dudes living there.... I won't say why but it's isn't poverty, it's just their culture with their dirty hiphop music and their big pants they wear to interviews..." What's next, mariachi-band listening dope fiends outbreeding the white race?

That's not a new type of racist. Your type is dime a dozen.

The responses in this forum where as predictable as the time. Most facts are almost always disregarded and turned into something else. Smoke20 is right though. My bad. In a clearly biased immigration forum you simply cannot have a proper discussion about culture without someone talking it personally. So let everyone go back to pretending it does not exist. And that gang bangers in a $55k Lexus shooting up neighborhoods is related to poverty and be done with it.

Unrelated statistics backed up by 3rd party anecdotes - does not make 'fact'.

And Smoke is right...

What is it that you don't get? You live in a white neighbourhood (oops! sorry..Canadian spelling..should only use American spelling) and you think gang bangers are driving around in lexuses, bmws, caddies? What gang bangers do YOU even see? I guarantee that 9/10 so called "gang bangers" as you call them (since you know, they are sub-human) are NOT driving expensive cars. That just goes to show your ignorance, buddy. You don't even know what you're talking about. With all of your first hand experience in violent neighbourhoods, it's no wonder you're such a genius

They're predictable because your so-called arguments aren't deep discussions of culture. They're thin-veiled racist screeds from Whitey McWhiteville. If you ever make an argument, I promise to take it seriously, but like I said, 16 pages of dancing around. Same old, same old.

And where do your facts come from?

For example, your opinion / relation of crime to poverty is fact yet someone else disagreeing with that is wrong and generalizing.

there is probably an anecdote about how he was told about gang-bangers in a Lexus. Anecdotes are scientifically proven facts, you see.

Dude you don't know ###### about what I have experienced or where I have lived so you are speaking out of your ###. You guys, with similar views, make generalizations all the time yet are first to accuse someone else of doing so.

So where is 'your' proof that 9/10 of the gang bangers are poor??

[thetreble 19]

"like once....there was this gang banger...and....he was shooting up his neighbourhood while listening to Jay-Z....and calling out his b - itches.... and he was totally driving a brand new lexus...and I Was like..oh my god...how is it possible that he drives a better car then me...I mean..come on..he's like...you know..in a gang...."

And the 9/10 isn't a fact....it's my guess...And you know why it is a guess? BECAUSE NO ONE WOULD EVER COLLECT DATA ON GANG BANGERS AND WHAT CARS THEY OWN.

yes because I see how well you have backed up every point you made.

But wait, that is different because you are saying it no??

[thetreble 19]

I don't know ###### about what you have experienced? Then why don't you let me into some of your experiences where you have lived in rough neighbourhoods? I would sincerely love to hear them because then maybe I could understand where you are coming from.

I am not saying they are poor but not all gangbangers drive expensive cars... and just because you don't drive an expensive car doesn't mean you are poor...
