I'm so sick of this

[eversio11]

Some people may find this high offensive, maybe too extreme, so I dunno if it will last. I just wanna say that I am not a racist in any way, nor do I hate anybody because of their ethnicity, race, skin color, denomination, etc.

But I am so fucking sick of these "gangsta niggas". I guess thats the correct term. Most of them are black, and theres a lot of white guys that fall into this catergory as of late. If you've gone to a public high school in the past 5 years, you know who I'm talking about. They wear their 5 sizes too big jeans at their knees, they wear about 7 layers of shirts and jackets and hoodies, and almost always have some sort of cheap sterling silver chain on.

They talk about 30 decibels louder than normal people, especially the women. After school, forget talking at the local mcdonalds, as soon as a bunch of these women walk, its like talking above a muffler modification on a civic.

Have you ever seen 2 of them get into a fight? The short, smartass one smacks the tall thug, and runs off laughing as the thug chases after him, pushing everyone in their way, including one of our deans. I'm trying to get to my fucking class, you know, so I can actually get a salary job when I'm 25 and not a fucking bagging job at the local grocery store. Move outta my fucking way.

Forget the fast food places after school, forget the fights in the hallway, the worse spot is in the atrium before school. They all gather there, and walking through it is like a fucking gauntlet. They always stop and "harrass" (sp) a bunch of white kids. The one time I got stopped by one of the fuckers, I shoved him outta my way and I guess I scuffed his piece of shit jacket or something. Of course they had to start something, getting in MY face calling me a white boy and cracker (despite my hispanic ethnicity). Fuck you, you fucking racist. Anyone other then a black person or white person wearing their clothes, obviously is a racist biggot, out to oppress their fucking "culture"

Don't give me this oppression bullshit, I didn't oppress shit. Of anyone that has any right to attack my culture are the Aztecs, Mayans, and Incans. Get outta my fucking face about this oppression bullshit.

And what is this "culture" they speak of? All I see are a bunch of rich suburban black guys blowing their parents cash on dirty girls and XXXL clothing. Don't give me this fucking culture bullshit. You know SHIT about your culture and history. How can you act oppressed when you have no idea what Malcolm X, MLK jr, Frederick Douglass, Robert Hayden, and several others did and died for you. For what? So you can act like fucking idiots in public? You fuckers deserve to die, not your fallen leaders. They didn't die so you could make a laughing stock out of your culture, inadvertingly oppressing your own race. Thats right.

I have a friend who's black skinned. Who cares. He doesn't act like a jackass, he doesn't where messed up clothing, he's just a normal guy like the rest of us. He doesn't harrass kids in the halls, he doesn't shout when he talks, and he doesn't give me this oppression bullshit. On his band's website he has the best quote, "I'm black, but that doesn't make me a nigger".

Theres plenty of perfectly acceptible black skinned people in this world, and I feel truly sorry for them. Their next generation acting like such bullshitters, destroying over 50 years of civil rights work to end up like this "gangsta thug nigga" whatever the fuck they are.

And don't get me started on their fucking speech. TALK SO PEOPLE CAN FUCKING UNDERSTAND YOU. No wonder people don't take them seriously, they can't understand a fucking word of what you're saying, "joe".

Sorry, but I just had to get that off my chest. I've gotten so fucking sick of seeing this bullshit in school day after day. Again, if I really offended someone, mods, take this down ASAP, and I apologize.

I'm not sure that I'm allowed to comment seeing as I am "Whitey", but...
All I can say is, regardless of skin color, we'll see where your gangsta clothes, badass attitude, poor grammar and crude speech get you in the real world. Once it stops being cool and trendy, it's simply career/success poison- unless you become a rapper. So hang in there, man and do your thing regardless...that kid who got in your face will be filling the tank of your E-Class some day.

I agree with pretty much everything you said. I've gone to school with 'thugs' since 6th grade. I actually got shoved on the ground by one for no reason. Well, acutally it was b/c I was white. But then he just turned and left. However, I have also been friends with quite a few of them as well. Some do act like complete jack-asses, but when it comes down to it a lot are actually good people. They may talk in 'ebonics' or slang and appear to be dumb as a brick, but are actually quite intelligent.

Walking home from school my freshman year, a black kid jumped out of a car and ran at us and we didn't know what to do. And he started mumbling that he needed us to jump him so he could get in a gang. We just kept walking saying that's ok. Then he just turns and punches my friend and his nose busts open. It was pretty scarey. Those kind of people are worthless and I have no respect or pity on.

The biggest problem is not neccessarily rap music, but the NAACP and Rainbow Coalition. These organizations do nothing but keep racism alive, and do nothing to help the situation. There are tons of black kids out there who find it insulting to have supposed 'points' to help them get into college. Many would rather get into a college based on their hard work and dedication to school. Instead of getting a 'hand out'.

In ending, I'm sorry you have to deal with crap like that at your school. But I hope this doesn't hurt your view towards others b/c of the way they dress. But by reading your post I believe your a smart person and can see past the b.s.

Good post. Black, white, green, fucking purple, your skin colour doesn't matter. We all bleed the same shade of red.

This thread will stay open unless it gets out of hand. This thread rocks people, anyone tries to spoil it with any of their racist crap, you'll be suspended for a week.

Carry on

I'd like to hear some more points of view. I've also dealt with racists like this who decide to use their skin colour to try and force an issue. I have lots of non white friends, be they black, indian, maori, whatever, and none of them seem to think that skin colour makes a bee's dick of difference to how they should treat other people.

I find no offense eversio11, in fact I totally agree with you

I saw it every day when I was in High School, and I still see it when I take the T to my College. More and more do i see it especially around Ashmont and a lot of it is on the Orange line...If these people could step outside of their shoes for a second and look at themselves making a mockery of themselves and their surroundings, I wonder if they would change, it is definately not great to see this ignorant lifestyle and it both saddens and angers me at the same time. I am a black male in society and i do not act like this, because of my choice not to act ignorant, throughout high school I was constantly made fun of because i don't "act black" now I'm sorry but if "acting black" consists of humiliating myself by acting extremely ignorant, dressing in clothes that are ill-fitting/horribly expensive and adding to the horrible stereotype of the inner-city youth, then definately count me out. so what if I listen to all kinds of music instead of just Rap? So what if my hair isn't nappy, and I brush it backwards instead of forwards? I don't think of myself as just a black male, but as an individual. a unique individual who isn't railroaded into "acting black" by ignoramuses who think that as long as they have clothes that match, the world will keep spinning. I found it quite amusing that i'm a black male being told that I was "acting white"...I also find it funny that the ones who told me that I was "acting white" never graduated High School by means of either repeating the same grades over and over or that they just dropped out.....

Around these parts it's more a problem of white guys who think they're 'gangstas', in the gang sense and/or in the rapper-gangster sense. However, a lot of them learn quickly that their place is to keep up an image and not act like a true gangster that deals, carries a gun, etc. Usually they learn this after they fuck with people that don't profess themselves as gangsters, people who just seem average but are in fact influencial figures that hold moderate to large power but don't go around using it to feed their ego or get famous.

Anyway, after relating it to the Melbourne equivalent, I can safely say that I agree with you completely on the issue at hand.

[Fearless Racer]

Eversio11, I find nothing in this post offensive. Not a single word of it.

I am in complete agreement with everything you said. I may be black, but unlike the rest of my generation I'm trying to get myself a college education and high paying job in the future as well and they just seem to make those of us who are trying to better ourselves look worse. I have friends from all different races and they all know each other and get along with each other. what bothers me is that if a black person opens his ears to different types of music(techno & rock to be more specific) and start wearing different clothes(Jnco Jeans); they consider me to be some kind of freak. I say kiss my ass and deal with it.

Over the past 3 months I've turned my back on those who will not accept me for being unique. They shouldn't be mad just because Someone decides to open their minds to other things. To any & all people: Open your minds to other things! There's more to life than the rap media and all this other "thugged out" b.s. that they think is cool. If you open your mind and your ears(and eyes for those who don't read the newspaper or watch the news); you'll be surprised at what you can learn and experience.

Just think: If MLK Jr. and Malcom X could see how most of their work was in vain. I don't know about the rest of them, but I will not let their work be in vain. I too, share the dream where every race can join hand in hand and live together without any problems, but they just don't realize it yet.

This is only half of my opinion(the rest would take forever to type out).

P.S: They should really try to be unique. When one person gets 24"s, they all get 24"s. That's real unique. Damn shitmobile driving assmonkies...

I would like to know what educated black individuals think of someone like Rev. Sharpton. Here is a man with criminal record, poor education and comical demeanor striving to represent the black community. The only weapon in his arsenal seems to be reproach. Dean is a racist, you're a racist, they are racists...but nothing of any substance. Do black people respect this man? Is this how black people feel about the white community? To be frank, I don't think white people spend one iota as much time worrying about oppressing blacks as he would like you to believe.

Al Sharpton isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer. A man with a criminal record should not strive to represent a community(He sure as hell can't represent me. I represent myself).

[goat_launcher]

Sharpton? isn't that the guy who spread poop all over a girl and incited a riot?

Anyways, my views are basically kindof parellel with most of the posts here...I went to middle school and high school in Indinapolis, and the whole time I was there, I had an uncanny almost equal amount of white friends and black friends...I befriended gang members and other "thugs" as you would call them, and realized their that way because of their environments they grew up in. (You try to grow up in the projects and not be that way.)
I was raised by my parents to respect all cultures and ethnicities, and that no matter who we are, we basically want the same things in life...My views were enhanced when I started taking racial issues courses and found how many crimes (other than slavery) were put upon the minorities and how hard they had to fight to get the same rights as I do, and how there still is racism stuck in the system today as in the ways of trying to get a house or a job.

[HogieGT-R]

To me, I don't really care for Al Sharpton, because of the fact that he just doesn't seem all that serious in anything that he does. if one were to turn on the television and seesome of the moves that he's done in the past, one would feel embarrased for his actions....i mean come on standing behind Michael Jackson when Michael was calling the ceo of sony records Tommy Mattola a racist and a bigot....and those accusations didn't really seem to add up ........not to mention that really you only hear of Al Sharpton alot on BET's Nightly News...alot of the other news channels don't really seem to talk much about him.....

oh yeah and Fearless Racer...I'm totally agreeing with what you're saying because that's how it was with me in high school

[stealthj]

well, i think they can do whatever they want, and wear whatever, but i think it is wrong to get in poeples faces and be loud and shit- thats just stupid and those people need to be regulated on

thats why u otta have your own crew for when they come around

when i was in middle school....i was walking home....these 2 black guys jumped me for no reason.... i had my heavy backpack on, so i could not do much... , they threw me on the ground and tried to knee my head, but i blocked with my hands, then i went hoem and played playstation

then the next day i told my big cousins and they took care of it

all i have to say to u is just try to go on about yourself till u get out of high school....cuz those people most likely will not change

This has nothing to do with 'thugs' and everything to do with being in hs and dealing with the shitty stuff in hs. Every high school has cliques, some are more emphasized than others, but every high school has them. Get used to it, they are people and you will work with quite a few on your way up, or down. Also, realize that the more someone acts it up, the more they are trying to cover something up.
