No one disagrees that what you say exists to some extent - the issue is that its not all blacks and not limited to blacks.

Aaah FFS, it's not even worth trying! You seem somewhat educated to be a complete ignorant racist but yet your posts are completely racist so maybe you are uneducated. I'm out, pass the bait to someone else!

What are you trying to say? I'm a racist? Didn't you read the part of my post where I said talked about a subset? And the fact that I've cleaned up a development of nearly 50 apartments so that that my tenants who are hardworking individuals don't have to deal with dealers in pimped out dodge chargers/caddys selling crack...
And having friends who live in a place is not in the same ballpark as living there yourself. We could move to a much 'nicer' neighbourhood but we would not get the diversity that we get now.
I am in general a bit of an asshole, I really don't discriminate. My brother-in-law's white trash lazy girlfriend comes infor the same castigation as anyone else who I feel is a waste of space

Sometimes when people first join here they create 'hot topic' threads to get everyones attention that they've arrived. Happened before, happening now, it'll happen again.
