Anyways, I'm a liberal and want to give blacks an opportunity to live with us and assimilate. But if they are going to trash the area??? And if living with them means I'm in danger? Jesus H!!!!
Do you treat your neighbor different because he is black? If he was white, would you approach him and tell him? Man up and tell dude that he needs to pick up his shit. Don't post it on a message board. Or send a letter to the homeowner's association. Nobody like to be aggravated and either he'll get his shit together or move.
As far as the arguing, call the fucking cops. Every time you hear loud noise, call them. The cops really don't like to be inconvenienced. And if they have to come over and over, someone is going to jail eventually.
And why do you think he has a chip on his shoulder? How does he act to make you think that? Are you sure he's just not a suburban wanna be gangsta with a ghetto girlfriend?
Yes, black people have been treated like shit for hundreds of years. And no one knows what it's going to take for blacks to get over it because no one wants to have a real discussion about race. It always ends in ignorance and name calling. If you don't even want to confront your neighbors because they're acting all "ghetto", I already know you're not even ready for that conversation.
Obama would do the same as any white politician about poverty in the inner city. Nothing. Just because Obama is black doesn't means he understands the "hood" any more than white people. Just because he worked there doesn't means that he knows what's it's like to go home there every night.
Very good questions and comments. Do I treat him differently. No, and that might have bothered him at first. Being indian/arabic/italian/white/greek/hispanic/muslim is something we all talk about with each other. And most blacks like us Greeks because we treat them being black just like we would treat someone who is from scotland. We are curious and like to talk about it, but it is never in a disrespectful mannor. It seems the only sensitive people are jews and blacks. But if I'm hanging with a bunch of black dudes, they don't mind talking about honkey's. As long as they are joking, I don't mind.
But I TOTALLY understand because he's alone out in whitesville and maybe I made him uncomfortable. So I don't talk about race anymore. So really, he's the one who isn't ready for the conversation.
FYI, all I brought up was The Office and how Michael was trying to say Chris Rock jokes but couldn't because he was white. Remember Chris Rock's routine where he asks, who's more racist, whites or blacks, and Chris rock says, black people are because they hate N word's too. And no I did not say the N word. I won't even when I'm signing rap in front of a black.
He got all bent out of shape with me and I was clearly trying to tell him I didn't mean anything by it, yet another neighbor after that actually called him the N word in anger and he didn't get mad at him. Want to know why?
But he's also a mooch. Has nothing to do with his color.
Sealy, I need to borrow your car, sealy, I need you to go to the store for me. And for what? BEER??? After a couple times, I told him to stop being a mooch. He got ANGRY and LOUD and I got loud right back. Because I don't care what color you are, you aren't going to take advantage of me or punk me out. You came to my house and asked me for something and if I say no I'm an asshole? Fuck you!!! And he tried to intimidate me but he could tell I was ready to fight. I said, "fuck that you wake me up on a sunday and start yelling at me because I don't give you this or give you that. We don't know each other that well, fuck you, call your girl and have her go run your chores." Anyways, since then we are cool and he hasn't asked me for anything, except weed. And that I share with him. LOL.
And the guy who actually called him an N. Know why he never got mad at that? Because that guy lets him borrow his car and eat all his food out of his fridge.
AND, yes I did tell him about his mess. He gave me shit because my dog shit in front of his place once and I said, "dude, have you seen the yard from your kid? Its a fucking mess". He got SOOOO offended. But I don't have a filter and that had nothing to do with race. So trust me, I'm not scared to say what I need to say. Many times when I've said something, like you can't have your music so loud past 11 or someone will complain, he says, "man, fuck that". Well thats why he gets letters from the board. But of course he thinks it is because he is black. Trust me, it is not. He's a slob.
If you knew me, you would know I'm very blunt and I have no filter. But it is clear that I'm a good person who is not a racist. At least not any more racist than the average person who says that. I'm the fucking welcoming committee. And people mistake my kindness for weakness.
Anyways, did I mention that I lived in an all black neighborhood? They were blantantly racist and beat my ass. If that happened to a black in my neighborhood, Sharpton would be there tomorrow.
And I am very ready for the conversation. Are you? Lets get it on.
