Moving to New Orleans....

[drewmar74]

Jack was sitting on the flight from Chicago to New Orleans when a guy took the seat beside him. The guy was an emotional wreck, pale, hands shaking, moaning in fear.

"What's the matter?" Jack asked.

"I've been transferred to New Orleans, there's crazy people there. They've got lots of shootings, gangs, race riots, drugs, poor public schools, and the highest crime rate."

Jack replied, "I've lived in New Orleans all my life. It's not as bad as the media says. Find a nice home, go to work, mind your own business, enroll your kids in a nice private school. It's as safe a place as anywhere in the world."

The guy relaxed and stopped shaking and said, "Oh, thank you. I've been worried to death. But if you live there and say it's OK, I'll take your word for it. What do you do for a living?"

"Me?" said Jack. "I'm a tail gunner on a Budweiser truck."

I ain't no "racist", dood! I have nothin' against Indians, Texicans, Chinamen or Japanzies....people who work for a livin'.

In N.O. them "innocent babies" become "adult killers". They know no other way.

People can scream racist crap all they want but truth be known most of it comes from truth. And I mean most and if you haven't realized that then you haven't gotten out enough in different areas. If you don't have that desire to see it for yourself, then you have other options: pick up a newspaper, turn on the news, or get a map of crime stats and try to deny the truth. Although first hand view is the best method, the others will get the point.

I'm with salty, long as you work for what u got and not screwin others to get it then you a good dude in my book, but don't sit there and try to label someone as a racist because their eyes are open and aren't blind to the truth

btw this isn't directed at lpfishntim, this is just general consensus that I have on people bashing about being racist when all the person did was state a truthful fact

I think it's a lot more than lack of fathering. I need not go into it, just look into african culture and history.

[bay_slayer]

[SULPHITE]

sadly enough a father role is not present in most minority upbringings...

[SULPHITE]

......alot of it is "monkey see...monkey do".

What??? j/k I know what'cha mean...

Sit back and let me hit you with some truth... Racism is a relatively new religion created by our government and then distributed by the media. What I mean by "religion" is that it is used to control or divert attention away from what the government is doing. Think about it, if whites are scared of what blacks are doing aka crime and other mischief and the blacks think the whites are out to get them then both sides focus on each other instead of what the big house is doing. Now, you will say that racism is a real and viable entity i.e. the 50's and 60's in the south. I agree that there are people in this country that are haters of a certain race color and creed but that doesn't mean it is widespread and out of control like the media has you believe. Things done by the powers that be are not done just willy nilly they are planned and calculated. Chew on that morsel of goodness for a moment and get back to me. Oh and LpFishnTIM, you sir are a hypocrite because that city of Walker with its less crime was built on racism. That city has recently become more popular because of white flight. That is why suburbs all across this great nation are created and populated.

this is a bunch of bull ****, the probability of having a black person commit a crime against you is slim, the chance is a lot higher that they commit a crime against there own family member or someone of there own race, the same goes for white people. The government uses media in many other ways than racism to divert the real problems from being seen in America.

And the town I grew up in and currently live in now has nothing to do with who I am and how I think, I've lived in Baton Rouge and Denham Springs Just as long as I have lived in Walker.

the actual crimes are taking place in and against people of the same race but is that the perception? my point was to perception not what is actually going on. i simply was calling out the fact that you made a similar assumption about salty as i did of you. figured out, no i absolutely do not have it figured out but i am willing to admit what i am and how i feel. you live and sounds like you were born in Louisiana if you try and convince me that there is not some part even if it small that is not racist you are delusional.

Hevy, are Livingston Parish schools still ranked near the top in the state? For years, it was them and St. Tammany.

they can't create schools fast enough to support the mass amount of people leaving the Baton Rouge Area. Just go look at I-12 Westbound in the morning and then again eastbound in the evenings.
