Scifientologist: Wrong answer. That would be the mafia.

Mafia, thugs, it's all the same. Disenfranchised and impoverished minorities, discriminated against by the majority and using the trade in illegal substances and acts to become wealthy and powerful within their communities.

I've seen thugs in my town wearing (horrendously oversized) shirts with pictures of Al Capone and Pacino's character from Scarface.

Tribes require a certain amount of organizational structure, honor, and internal discipline that folks of this ilk simply do not possess.

This is more "pack" behavior, sociologically speaking.

I never quite understood the Scarface love. That movie is farking terrible. Absolutely farking terrible.

Cease being a criminal scumbag, and I cease discriminating against you.

Continue to be a bad example of your race, and you earn every racial epithet and stereotype that gets slung at you.

Your arguments are the same apologetic gibberish that makes this kind of behavior accepted in such communities.

"It's the man keepin' us down!'

The Angry Hand of God: I never quite understood the Scarface love.

It's the story of a poor young man who grows up to have a lot of money and power by working against authority. Thug culture admires all those things.

I'm not making excuses for them. I'm just saying that it's not just blacks who do it.

As for stopping it, who knows. Until you change the culture to value hard work over making a quick buck, education over ignorance, and reason over emotion you're never going to find a solution to the problems plaguing most cities.

And the only people who can change the culture are the people within it.

Is this a uniquely black phenomenon?

No.

A predominantly black one?

Yes.

The norm more often than the exception?

Sadly, again, yes.

They just make them up.

I've asked.

Jaquan /really?

ive heard they're trying to get to their african roots.

/like youve ever heard of a REAL african named Shaniqua, or Tykwan,or Jim.

darthgarlic: Black people are so funny.

Jaquan /really?
Where in the fark do they get these names?

I know, its like they set up for failure at birth. when they give them an funny ass name like that and there is a racist out there, they can just look at the names on an application, those are good names for nicknames, they dont belong on a birth certificate. I am also looking at Dakota,chrystal ect.

I know a few real Africans (From Africa) they don't understand "African Americans" either, most think they have a shiatty attitude.

Dear racists,

Thanks! Really. The more of you there are with these attitudes, the easier it is for me to hire motivated, dedicated, talented employees whose skin tone happens to be darker than yours.

Wow, what a horrible racist thing to say. You sound white.

Marcintosh: There is nothing I repeat NOTHING like a good brawl.

Sadly this is not a good brawl. It's not even mediocre. It's just a pissin' contest.

Ironworkers and Marines now THAT's a brawl. SEAL's and everyone else in town, THAT's a brawl.

Have seen some epic brawls while tending bar.
Glad that's over can't afford new teeth anymore

THIS.

Usually when two families go off on each other in the courtroom or out in the hallway, it's not really a brawl. Every Hatfield or Shark concentrates on just one McCoy or Jet. If it was really a brawl, that blond chick pointing at the family members to the guards AND the guards themselves would've been lost in the shuffle as well.

/I was REALLY hoping that blond chick would go down...not because I didn't like her, but she looked like a SCRAPPER! HAWT!!! :D

If you hire people who are black because they are black, then you are also a racist.

Igor Jakovsky: And when black people like Bill Cosby and Jason Whitlock speak out against the thug culture, fathers not being in the picture, etc. They get called Uncle Toms

Like I said, only those within the culture can change it. If you go around telling rednecks to stop sounding like they've sustained major head trauma, they'll call you a liberal elitist.

Nice job outing yourself with that statement, racist.

It says nothing about the potential hire not being racist themselves, just that you prefer hiring someone with more pigmentation in their skin rather than less simply because SOMEONE ELSE who is completely unrelated to the hiring situation may be a racist.

STFU and DIAF, racist.

In most big city courthouse/government complexes, the Police HQ is right next door. One push of that magic button underneath the judge's bench, and the whole place would look something like the last scene from The Blues Brothers.
