My mom worked 3 jobs since I was 6 years old to keep a roof over our heads.

Dad left before I was born and was never heard from again.

I started selling weed in 5th grade.

Moved up to harder drugs, by 14 I had been to jail (juvi) twice.

Got clean, met a girl that really turned my life around. She also introduced me to affiliate marketing (she was an am) and I'm doing quite well with it now (email marketing).

Finished high school, about to finish college now doing English as a major with a minor in business - 3.8 gpa.

I have lost too many friends in the hood, I lost my brother to drugs and I see so many people who cannot free themselves from the trap that poverty has set. I've seen niggas so impoverished that they literally would do anything for that paper. Anything to ease the pain. And yes most of them are black but I also have white and Latino friends like that.

It's not easy being poor and black/white/whatever in America. God bless ya man but if you ever get rich help those in need.

danke

Oh yeah, you're going to fit right in...

Wait until Dresden14 welcomes you personally with a religious candle on your front lawn.

Honestly though, we all have our own hell to pay.

I'm just telling you guys what I've seen, take it how you want to. Meth is really bad here, in fact a lot of trailer parks, not to stereotype - it's mostly white folks doing it, have gone from bad to complete SHIT in the last 5 years.

Actually sticky it's interesting what you said about Mexicans/Salvadorans because damn those guys have it rough. Did you know some of my homeboys paid $5k just to hop over the border to get a dishwashing job for $3.50 an hour on the down low?

It's the kind of thing that makes me feel bad even if I go out and have a drink at a bar or anything because that same $5 could feed a family here for a day. Seriously.

Like I said man, I'll just tell you what I've observed over the last 30 years:

Most people in jail here are black.

Most blacks are not in jail for violent crimes over here. They are in for selling drugs and stupid crap like that. When I was in juvi though I saw white kids as young as 13 (!!) pledging allegiance to the Aryan nation as if they even knew what that means. And a lot of them had already done some very fucked up stuff like arson, aggravated assault, etc...

I'm not saying all, but that's my

At what point and time will your people stop pulling the race card? You would think that after your 'negro fuhrer' obama became elected, this reverse racism and oppression would stop. Yet situations like the 'negro college fund', black entertainment, MLK (I refer to as James Earl Ray Day; which we celebrate) or your subject on how its 'hard being black in america' - persist?

Good job on separating yourself from the rest of the animals, and all the power to your mother for doing something legit though.

Haha, any way you wanna put it man but I didn't know shit about nothing when I got into this game. Even browsing the internet was a problem because I never learned how to speed type, etc... but I've come a long way since then.
Completely agree with this, but you know when you grow up without any role models, you cling on to anyone with a little cash to flash that looks like they are doing better than you. Some black kids I know never get over the fact that their dad just didn't give two fucks about them and they hold that anger for an eternity. It burns. And it becomes the type of mentality where they can sell poison to their own cousins for a profit.

The mind is what can set people free but that's the most difficult thing to change.

...I'm mixed yes...but I've grow up black.
I have never used the race card in my life, I swear to God. However I speak the truth if I notice discrimination based purely on race as I do when discrimination is based because of a person's socioeconomic status or other reasons.

What's the point in having affirmative action if youths are more attracted and socially bent to living a life of drugs and crime? It's the same mentality that would give aid to Africa instead of improving the political infrastructure in those countries. It's all rubbish.

Sure, my thread title was provocative however according to most statistics the majority of drug users are of Caucasian descent however in my home town, most blacks are locked up for drug related not violent crimes. Whites are only locked up if they are "animals" to use your language.

Cheers!

Hmm, why have it all? I didn't do anything to blacks, my father and grandfather didn't either, but I have to be punished for something someone else did decades ago. Most of the benefactors of affirmative action never lived thru the reasoning of having it, let alone know what it is/how it came about.

Why shouldnt blacks be locked up for crimes? regardless of violent or not? You broke the law you pay the penalty. On the white person thing.. have you not heard of B. Madooff or Martha Stewart? How about Paris Hilton? Didn't OJ get off scott free the first time?

You do the crime, you do the time.. regardless of violent or if your black.

People misconstrue the original intention for implementing affirmative action. It's not to punish whites but to help minorities. We all know the deplorable educational standards in urban areas and that's basically all it's about. The problem is that it's ineffective, incendiary to whites who work hard for what they've got and archaic.
My argument was that the majority of people that use drugs (i'm talking about over here but reading statistics it's generally true) are white BUT the majority of people locked up over drug offenses such as possession are black. Why is that?

Every black guy I know has been to jail. Most of my white friends are bigger users than them but a little less than half have seen the inside of a cell. I agree that if you do the crime, do the time but at least make that true for everyone.

ly2 from WF

Maybe because blacks do retarded shit, draw attention to themselves, and live in shit neighborhoods where there are a lot more cops than normal. And, obviously, most cops probably look for blacks more than whites because blacks commit the majority of serious violent crimes. At the end of the day if they weren't breaking the law they wouldn't be going to jail so what does it really matter?

See, keep a roof over the head is relative. Let's see how story starts at the beginning.
Your mom successfully partied with guys, get pregnant and then had kids and had to have three jobs to keep a roof. It's totally her choice, wasn't it? I shall tell you that people in other countries do not make kids when they know they cannot afford them.
The problem with drugs is modern society problem. People are bored and want to smoke, drink, use drugs and so on. I personally took many people off drugs, smoke and drinks.
Just FYI, currently we are developing a program how to help people with such problems. The major issue is their own will. Getting rid of that shit makes people not fitting their day-by-day schedule, drinking in the pubs with "friends" and so on. It takes them out of the society they were all the time in.
So my concern is if you want to help people like you, like your brother, your friends, get your ass off this forum and do help them instead of complaining how hard to be black in America, poor muffin.

HardYoungBlack

Haha, if you're purporting that blacks/minorities have a supposed intellectual inferiority then you'd be sadly mistaken.

Contrary to popular belief, it's not easy to sell drugs.

My gang used to run a 5 point system which I won't really get into but not only did it protect the higher ups on the food chain but it also minimized the judicial damage that soldiers on the field would get when they inevitably got caught. The system would twist your mind.

Cops focused highly in the traps and left trailer parks and such alone for the most part for several reasons.

1. A lot of officers were in some way related to poor whites.

2. Cops have a quota to meet. It's a system that encourages them to incriminate as many people as possible rather than rehabilitate them. We can argue all day as to whether or not this bias is racially based but I definitely think it has its roots in racial discrimination.

Lexicon

This was not as harsh as I expected from dresden.

In other news dunno why you don't just move to Canada where you can literally be anything you want to be, finish school with manageable debt and zero interest government loan. Not to mention universal health care.

The amount of grants anyone of ANY race can apply for up here is quite literally insane.


If somewhere is shitty go to the library get out a map and find somewhere better to live?

My rents had a choice between America, England or Canada. They looked at america and said ummmm fuck no. All the siblings ended up in England or Canada.

Yes. I'm black.

If you help minorities more, you put at a disadvantage the whites.. which is a punishment.

I was middle class, average white growing up and I got bypassed for jobs and free college money while several of my minority friends walked right into the same jobs and higher education and then dropped out/quit weeks later only for the same position to be filled again by another minority while I was waiting to get into school or get a job. To me, that is a punishment. I had one employer tell me it was because of affirmative action too why they couldn't hire another white person.

Even today at one of my ecom partnerships, for our company to be eligible for some government contracts we had to hire more minorities on staff to balance things out. We didn't hire non minorities for any special reason before, but we are a high end tech company and honestly there just was only white people applying for these jobs in web design and marketing.

However, we had to hire some unqualified minorities to fill positions that qualified white people could have had, just to get some of these contracts.

Also, on the crime thing.. IDK. But I think its true that whites go to jail all the time ( see my example above ). Also, do you think you know more blacks that go to jail because you typically know more blacks? Im just being honest here, but in our "poor" area of town it is typically 90% black population. If you grew up there, you would prob know 9 black people for every 1 white person you know. In that situation, wouldn't it make more sense you know more black people in jail then whites as you would prob. know more blacks then any other demographic if you lived in that area?

Just curious to your answer.

In New York they stop random people on the street and search them every day for no reason at all. They don't have to "do stupid shit" to get searched. Mostly racially/socioeconomically profiled. Then they send them to jail if they've got a pinch of weed. Think of all the money spent on enforcement/prisons that could be spent on programs that might actually make a POSITIVE difference in someones life instead of just arbitrarily tearing families apart.

Statistically speaking, you're only correct when you look at the overall pie chart of all demographics inside of a country. There are more white people and therefore more overall numbers. When you look individually, the numbers tell a different story.

Regardless, that's a small point and you're absolutely right that the judicial system is totally bigoted ... besides, these are non-violent crimes. Jury nullification people, serve and protect.

gerMAN

HAHA man you still don't get it,do you? go ahead man, fly your "nationalist ways".just let me take a screen shot real quick hahaha
classic.

HardYoungBlack

Not to be idealistic or anything but:

Don't you think it's more of a punishment that the government spends trillions of dollars fighting an endless war only to benefic arms manufacturers and a small portion of the population?

Don't you think it's more of a punishment that every year your taxes go up and oppressive laws like SOPA are passed in congress that limit your liberties?

And don't you feel that it's more of a punishment that your father can work his entire life or a company only for them to "downsize" right before his retirement, making him lose EVERYTHING.

Compared to the amount of money spent on affirmative action programs, what the government does to regular white americans could basically be compared to slavery.

To answer your other question, yes I agree most of my experiences are subjective. I'm 50/50 and I got a lot of shit about being mixed growing up with all blacks but it was way worse when I hung out with white people. I can't speak for other areas in the country but from what I've noticed most jails are populated by minorities in places where their population is under even 5%! Just sayin' man.

HardYoungBlack

Ron paul has my vote 100% . And yeah I vote every election .

Just wanted to say thank you to all the intelligent replies in this post. I appreciate it.

stickyicky

Only takes 1 out of 12. Jury nullification could be quite a powerful movement in the United States if enough people were aware. It should be required that jurors be made aware that if they don't believe that something is a crime that they aren't required to convict someone whether they did it or not. Could you even imagine what a swift kick to the nuts of the justice system this could be? Best part is it doesn't take a majority of the country to make a difference. Every single person would be making a difference.

I def agree on your points, but the topic isn't on those programs or topics but they are just as bad, yes. I have thoughts on them as well, but no one is bringing those up until now. I'm just saying, those are wrong just like AA is wrong.

My experience has mainly been as a white person, but my very first GF was a black woman. I lived with her family and lived in the bad part of town with her for a while. I experienced more racism from black men then I did from white men/women and black women then I ever had in my life during that time ust because I dated her and was with her. I did get racism from whites too sometimes, but it was daily from black men. Once we stopped dating the racism magically vanished from the same black men.

As a matter of fact, if I walk down those streets today no one looks or bothers me. However, if I was walking with her I would have all kinds of sneers and looks and BS from black men. SO I can understand what you got from being 50/50 as I seen that as well with people I hung out with back then and the thoughts of if I ever had a mixed child.

Well, props for you crossing the racial line it's definitely tough. Yes, to be quite frank a lot of blacks (ok most) are very, very racist. I know that from growing up around them, actually I got into fight all the time over that. It's only when I proved myself so to speak that they realized I did not tolerate any of their shit.

In a utopia it wouldn't matter who you love but I guess we have to realize America was founded on racism and exploiting people that were more unfortunate than yourself. Who knows how long it will take to change. Sorry to hear about that.
Never heard about this, could you elaborate please?

ly2 from WF

Pretty much everyone is racist to a certain point.
