He had a white girl but he didn't have a black girl for comparison !!!

As well, most passers by were white folk.

Not a good comparison !! But I guess you get the respect you earn!!

Wow, you got one right. This is so very true. That is probably why very few respect you, if any.



Saw something similar at Costco yesterday. A Middle eastern/Arab/Muslim family was in the line to leave just a head of me. They had about the same amount in their cart as I did. The "white" lady checking till tapes at the door counted each item on their till tape and then counted each item in their cart and even double checked item to item on the till tape of some of the things before letting them through. My wife and I were next, she did a cursory look at the till tape and in my buggy and let us through.

Yep. Shortly after 9/11, my friend Ghassan told me he was at the grocery store with his wife when some a$$hole made some rude comments about him. Ghassan turned to him and said "You got a problem with Italians?" in a fake New York accent. The guy apologised profusely. Seems that when he thought Ghassan was an Arab, he didn't deserve respect, but being Italian, he did deserve respect.

As they left, Ghassan's wife said "So, we're Italians now?"

Everyone has a little prejudice in them, everyone profiles.. EVERYONE.

Kinda nice being on the side with the law, the guns, the cops, and the Get Out of Jail Free card that says "I was in fear for my life, and he made an aggressive move," ain't it, Boom?

I hope you watched my YouTube, my friend from Indonesia posted it on his Facebook page a few days after the Boston Bombing. Yes, he is Muslim.

Living in the USA, you just have to be white and speak English.. then you are at the top of the rung for jobs, service and so on. You an I both know that...

My niece is Hispanic, born in the USA. But to every white person, she is just another Mexican.

Going through a road side immigration check point, one look at me..they waive me through.. my friend Simran, who's a trucker, Hindu.. get's the 3rd degree each and every time.. where were you born, what you hauling..

People profile.



Take a guess, more boobs than brains or a CEO of a multi-million dollar company??

Oh look fake ethnic friends

What the hell is wrong with you kid?

You're turning into a sour resentful little shell of a person around here unless you're bantering with the ladies.

Yes, we're all aware you don't like the evil cons, bushies, reaganites, religious folk, fox and anything right of center. Yeah, we all get it son. Big deal. We're all very impressed.

It's one thing to pathetically follow your pet nemesis B00Mer around the board sniping at his every turn and comment.

Yeah, we get that too. You don't like him. Too bad. That's your problem.

It's quite another now to say something so completely absurd that you look like a petty wee shell of an adult.

Do you honestly think that anyone on this board doesn't have (in your words) 'ethnic friends'?

I mean, even from you, that is such a retarded comment that you look like a petulant child.

And ignorant too.

You might try getting out more. Live in the big city for a bit. There are plenty of people to be met.

But you can't have a friend until you be a friend.

Give up the resentment boy. You look more and more ridiculous every time you start typing now.

I hope you have a better day.

Just under 2 years ago 3 thugs stole my iPhone. These thugs happen to be black. I can't say I don't think about it everytime I see some black youth appoach me. So yes, we all judge based upon our experiences. Do I know that not all blacks are crooks and thugs, yes. But does that stop me from grabbing my phone tighter when one appoaches me on the steet? No.

EH?? Was that a typo??

Suggest you watch the video below, from a very intelligent and intellectual man that I admire as a fellow human. Oh yeah, he's black.

I am unclear what you are unclear about. My statement I believe conveys the indended meaning. I know that not all blacks are crooks and thugs. I make and made no claim about proportions. Am I missing some alternate interpretation?

Is that all?

Heck, much of my life savings was "stolen" when I went to law school and found no real use for my worthless degree (indeed, the same is true of half of my classmates who had to find jobs in other fields - a problem that remains true to this day). The cost of this useless education was far more than a phone. Should I (or them) be in fear of losing my wallet or credit card when in the presence of white people?

Nah I am looking for insults ;)

Happy to oblige.

You were so ugly at birth, your parents named you sh*t Happens.

You're so ugly, when you jerk off your hand tries to fall asleep.

You're so ugly, your mate won't have to worry about birth control... your face will do just fine.

You're so ugly, when you were born the doctor took one look at you and slapped your parents.

You're so ugly, you make onions cry.

You're so ugly, your last name is Link and your first is Missing.

:lol:
