Oh, ChiTown's rape thread?

I have no idea. Some people are probably just joking inappropriately (in regards to all of the bans early on), while others may actually be serious. Iunno.

The next big step will be disassociating the color of someone's skin with how you've seen other people with that skin color act, and finally doing away with the notion that the color of your skin associates you with some group.

A person in the South may be more likely to sincerely say that they hate black people. That's because they've had strong experiences which have confused them into feeling that way.
A person in the North is less likely to say something like that, but they also haven't been tempted by experiencing situations that make it easy to start making wrongful assumptions.

At the same time,
A person in the South will be more likely to genuinely understand these culture differences and not assume something based on someone's color, but perhaps how they present themselves.
A person in the North will be more likely to actively try to befriend a person just because they're black and they think that makes them "cool" or something. They will probably assume that this person listens to a lot of rap music and expects to communicate using poor grammar, even if he is a medical doctor or something.


This is how I see it at least. There are definitely differences, but IMO the Southern U.S. is actually closer to the ideal where skin color doesn't mean anything. I don't think you would be able to find people in the United States throwing bananas at a black person today.

Seriously though, juggalos notwithstanding the bolded hasn't been true for quite some time. White suburban youth have long since co-opted those elements of "black culture" into something entirely different.

Woke up to some horrible news, Black-Gaf. Friend of mine was shot for no reason last night. Currently in critical condition. Doctors say they can save him, but there's a chance he'll be paralyzed. I'm just sitting here, just trying to hold myself together and praying for the best.

Yeah his family and a few friends are there. I'm hanging back because I don't know his family, and I think it's best they have this time to support each other without outside folk just hanging around.

I'm getting the idea he doesn't like us(his friends) seeing his girl naked on the internet. I don't think he respects her that much. He can get her to do WHATEVER he wants, whenever he wants. I think he should just break it off.

Oh, and sorry about your friend, ReiGun. I was searching for a BP/Storm embrace but they're all kissy and stuff.
