I can understand why some people become racist

[Calliander]

Wow...great thread let me get started by introducing myself.

My name is...well call me genki. i grew up in the bronx i think this gangsta shit your talking about isn't about black people i grew up poor in a bad neighborhood i dont act like that. Not to toot my own horn or anything but if someone was to make me angry enough i would have no problem shooting them i've done it before and i'll do it again if i need to. but i know how hard it is to live somewhere like that i dont know why anyone would like to live there i've been through alot of shit in my life but i dont use that as an excuse i know i did alot of wrong stuff and i'm sorry for them and if i had the chance i would take them all back. the whole act black thing isn't about being black or white or whatever, its about being ignorant and disrespectful i know alot of killers that would kill someone a second but they have enough respect to know not to curse around children, respect their elders. me myself i'm low key, most of the people i know think i'm the nicest person they know. i'd rather make a friend than an enemy know what i'm saying? i dont know where these kids today get this stuff i wish parents would have more responsibility.

and not all rap is bad here you go this is the "good stuff":

Tupac
Kanye
NaS
B.I.G

damn too much stuff on mind now cant think straight gotta go calm down.

Yet another Korian dupe. Sheesh.

I guess that went over my head. Shit.

I just hate when a black person, whom states their hate for racism, is a homophobe(To the point they'll kill homos). Way to be hypocritical.

Racism is still wrong blah blah blah moral rant.

Anyways I like what you're saying and I hate the idea of being racist, but 99% of the black/red neck kids at my school, meet that stereotype.

i would have no problem shooting them i've done it before and i'll do it again if i need to.

I know that there will be those who'll view my rant with utter disdain, disgust and whatever -- to y'all, I say eat a dick.

I come from the most multicultural city. Personally, I think the world would be a better place if racism were erradicated from the face of the planet. That said, I hate a lot of black people.

The culture of ignorance, irresponsibility, intolerance and idiocy run prevalent in popular black culture. It makes me sick. I listen to hip-hop, I grew up on reggae, but I realize that these genres add to this culture. Unless you have your head on straight, and acknowledge that you don't fucking live in the boroughs, Chicago, the poor parts of the south, and that, in fact, you live in a middle class neighborhood in the middle of Canada, you'll adopt the psuedo-gangster/thug ideals extolled in these songs.

I grew up never really fitting in with black people, not even my family. Is it because I speak English properly? Is it because I value my education? Is it because I enjoy things that aren't characteristically 'black' (whatever the fuck that is)? Who the fuck knows. I'm different, so I'm a fucking outsider.

Not only that, but working retail I've come to dispise a lot of black customers (the thugged out kind). When they aren't asking me for a deal, a hook-up, or something else, based solely on the fact that I'm black and should 'help another brother out', they're trying to rob me blind. Each time I've been robbed it's been by a thugged out/wanna-be gangsta. The two times I've caught them (I've been robbed four times, three times by the same people; and, no, mall security or the cops don't do shit), they either challenge me to a fight or call me a 'white-washed-nigger'.

And, yes, I'm angry (the same fuckers tried to rob me again tonight).

I don't see how this is racist. You don't hate these thugs b/c they are black. You hate their corrupt/stupid/ignorant culture. That's not racist.

...alright the point i was trying to make didn't come across as i had hoped it did...well anyways i think the problem lies in the economy. As long as there are "ghettos" where people have to do things they dont want to get money, food etc. theres going to be killing and violence.

[FX]

Correction - as long as there are stupid people who don't have a mind of their own that resort to reinforcing negative stereotypes and refuse to improve themselves or their environment, there will be killing and violence.

[Anal Kaboom]

yeah but the problem is that probly won't happen. sad but true.

[Razor Ramon]

That's your fault. I come from you'd say is the "ghetto" but I'm not an idiot. I go to college, I got a job, and I live a crime-free life. I don't have to go rob people, I fucking work for what I have. And I hate it when people say, "no one wants to hire me because I'm black/latino/whatever." Bullshit. They won't hire you because you come to an interview with pants that can fit a 747 and swear at your potential employer.

This type of genre has to die. It's just a crutch that people in my neighborhood and many of yours use just so they don't have to blame themselves.
