I thought they wanted us out of their country? They probably think the same way you do, we have our own ethics that they dont agree with and we are trying to pressure them to change theirs.

Oh cry me a river. Stop making excuses for them. Cam'ron is EXACTLY what is wrong with the black community, and until he and the likes of him lose their piss poor attitude and stop blaming everyone else for their problems nothing is going to get better for them.
What makes you think the 'black community' wants his excuses? You're a white person trying to analyze a situation you can't completely understand. Perhaps the real problem with this country is that the white (middle/upper class is a better term) ethics you support don't apply to everyone in the country...yet you want it to?
And for the record, snitches get stitches. Hell, I can't even understand that philosophy fully and neither can you...we don't live in the same environment. The world of poverty and the comfy little world you live in are quite different. Are you naive enough to believe that's theres not a reason for the phrase 'snitches get stitches?'
So we should allow "ghetto" people to go around and ****** whores, shoot said whores if they don't have good time, sell drugs, rape, kill, and burglarize at whim?
While we're at it... the terrorists and fanatics have their own "ethics" system. They want to come into this country. Let's welcome them with open arms :disgust:
The problem is that they hate "the man" so much that they don't care how "the man" got to be "the man" in the first place. They'll die out sooner or later.
There's a theory that I like somewhere, call it Intellectual Civic Darwinism. Only the intelligent rise in status. Whether these intelligent people are corrupt or not is another story. Still 50 Cent and other "ghetto" types aren't going places. They want the street, IMO they can have it. Go ahead, shoot each other, rape women, smoke weed all day and crack all night. I can help you. You don't want my help? Fine. It won't be given.

how about not selling drugs, being in gangs, shooting people?
come on, the only people they have to blame is themselves.
how bout this scenario. You are 13 years old. You have a younger brother and sister. Your mom is a crackhead your father is in jail or somewhere ....you never met him. Now your mom smokes up all the welfare checks so there isn't food in the house to feed your siblings. If social services comes to your house again they will place you and your siblings in foster care. you will likely be split up and foster homes are likely to be more abusive than your current situation. You are too young to get a legitimate job. How would you make money so you can feed and cloth you and your siblings? I don't know what you would do with your infinite wisdom but I would do whatever it takes.

You're a dumbass. Just because of police abuse in the past you'd be willing to let others die?
You see a guy with two AK-47s, two shotguns, and a vest full of clips walk into an elementary school, and you wouldn't call the cops because you don't like cops?
If so, you don't deserve to live.

Anytime I hear someone use the word "classy" they invariably end up saying something like "baby momma", "whack yo", "aight aight", "boo", "low budget", "exclusive", and on and on with it (or they do that stupidly annoying sound with their lips like "pscht"). You're guaranteed that someone who uses the word in their spoken language is trash

Why is it every single time I go through the grocery store checkout line when there is a minority in front of me, they pay with EBT. I'm sure priviledged to pay for my own food. I think out of the last 20 times I've gone I've kept note of it, I think once a minority woman in a fur coat paid for her $5 item with cash once... The odds are 5% actually pay for their food.
How am I priviledged again?

you're privileged because of your skin color, you grew up in the ghetto that's fine, but people see you and see a white man and nothing of the "ghetto" you grew up in. A black man can be born into a rich, well off family, but in a lot of peoples eyes he's still a n***er who might as well be from the ghetto. You are privileged because you don't need Affirmative Action to help you get a job you're qualified for. If you don't see the fact you having white skin is a huge privilege then I don't know what to tell you.
And your example about EBT has nothing to do with the color of the skin, I see plenty of black, asian, mexican, and yes even white people! Who all are on EBT. Believe it or not, the government doesn't just give out EBT cards to anyone who asks. You 5% figure is so far off it's not even funny, and to use the fur coat as an example is pretty piss poor, for all you know that coat could have been handed down from her mom, or maybe it was a birthday present from their grandparents. Or maybe the person bought it a year eairler when they were doing well for themselves, and they fell on hard times. Regardless, way to go jumping to conclusions and making yourself look like a complete racist fool. I do applaud your honesty thought, I honestly don't think I could say the things you said, even if I did feel them.

Oh please, dont jump down his throat because he speaks some semblence of truth. Go to harvey IL, watch the community spend more on drugs and "blinged" out cars then homes and food. These arent isolated incidents. And its not like they work...they attacked the damn fire department for shutting off hydrants. They have shootings in back of the damn firehouse. They actually DO spend their piss poor income on crap, government supported or not. Why dont you stop talking out of your ass.

He said "5% actually pay with cash" that is the main thing that made me respond, if he was going to pull a random number out of his ass he should have came up with something with a semblance (learn how to spell...) of truth. You are just as bad as him for talking about a small percentage of people. I've lived in the ghetto, and believe me when I say MOST of the people could care less about bling and drugs, they struggle to put food on the table and their concerns are not getting evicted. are there a lot of people in the inner city who sell drugs and spend all their loot on cars and jewelry? sure, but you make it sound like that's every people in the hoods dream, when in reality it's a small percentage. I could be an asshat like the OP and pull a number out of my rear like 5%, but I won't. I'll just say it's far from the majority and if you think differently you know very little.
so why don't you stop talking out of your ass, as it's clear here your views on the inner city come from the slander that comes from the media and the rap music videos you might have heard. I have lived in the inner city, I hang out in the inner city, don't believe everything you see on the Television as the news is very one sided.
