I grew up in Kansas City, and lived in Denver and also Wyoming when I was a kid. I live right outside of Little Rock Arkansas now and have lived in Arkansas since I started school in the fall of 2000.
Complain all you want about the bias with statistics. I dont care. I'm not trying to get my CCW to ''kill some niggers''. I'm getting it for protection against whoever tries to harm me.
My old roomate was murdered. My jeep got broken into and vandalized plus property stolen multiple times. My truck was vandalized last weekend and someone tried to steal it. my gf and best friend caught someone breaking into her apartment while she was there.
The first time my jeep got broken into, it was a black kid that was my friend from where I played college football. He was caught on around 15,000 $ of felony theft, and bargained out to join the Navy.
The next year, the starting tailback at the university was convicted of attempted murder over a pound of weed. He was black.
Want to know what color the person was who tried to break into my gf's house while she was there? Black, and it was her neighbor. If the statistics can be found, I challenge any sympathizers here to see the race makeup of all the crime in Little Rock or Pine Bluff. It should be easy, since Little Rock is on pace to shatter it's own muder record this year.
It takes dispatching most of local law enforcement, including all the non town police militias to control the ''end of the world'' step show every year in this town.
My old roomate was murdered by 2 18 year old black kids while he was working at a convenience store in 2002.
You think you're not the least bit racist? Go walk down Crump blvd in Memphis at night or anywhere in North Little Rock at night.
If you call knowing where and where not to go being racist because there happens to be tons of crime in lower class predominately minority communities... then call me a racist. I dont see myself going around any white trash neighborhoods at night either.
Any of you fucks who dont have to deal with living in the railroad/industrial part of the south dont know what you're missing
When you think of people that still favor separation, I think you're thinking of all the crazy rednecks in the carolinas and that part of the country. You can see programs about their future plans for becoming soverign nations on A & E if you ever watch it.
I feel bad for blacks who are not the common stereotypical ''brotha'' from the South. Most likely, whether they like it or not they're going to get lumped together with the rest of the Americans with darker skin than me.
The thing that gets me the most, is when I go to south Arkansas to work in a mobile sleep center down there. The patients are predominately older blacks and older whites. The biggest paper mill in the US is right outside that city. More blacks that come in seem to work in the paper mill, and the whites work out in the forests bringing wood to the mill. No matter what, the subject of local violence seems to come up in conversation sometime during the night. The one thing that is true of both the whites and blacks who talk about it... they hate what they call the ''modern black culture''. I guess it's racist when Caucasians say they hate it. When blacks say they hate it it's just complaining and trying to make things better for them.
From my limited experience there, the people doing the complaining (no matter their race) are people who are hard working blue collar folks with families. These people have worked hard doing tough jobs in the dirty south their whole lives. They have retirement plans, primary and secondary health insurance plans and have raised a new generation of kid who would rather run around and get in trouble, sell drugs, and look for get rich quick schemes than to work hard and live within their means.
