It's changed a lot. 50 years ago dumb asses like Big Tiger could say shit like that openly and nobody thought anything of it. Now he just has to have enough balls to use an alias on a web board. 50 years ago I grew up in a completely segregated Alexandria. Three high schools; Menard the Catholic high school, Bolton the public high school, and Peabody the black high school. Now that world is not even imaginable. We've come a long way, but we still have a ways to go. Especially politically and economically. Which is why i moved away 20 years ago at the time of the Edwards vs Duke election.
Here's the problem though. Agree or not, if people like BT "can't say it" how do we deal with something unspoken. To me, that's a lot of the problem. Speaking behind closed doors.
I've always said I don't care where a muther phucker stands, just so I KNOW where it is. We should encourage people to speak up. We'd have a much clearer picture of where we are. We've come a long ways but still have a lot more work to do. Why does it matter so little if whites marry chinese, etc. but when it's a black, it stands out so much for so many? Simply because of pigment? Never could understand this.
That's the biggest problem with politically correct speech, nobody talks about the important shit. Therefore people never talk through their stupid thoughts (we all have them) with someone to realize its a crazy idea. Instead, some thought that should have come and gone ends up being bottled up and rolled around unchallenged in a head until the brain is convinced its a brilliant idea. We need to air that shit out. Same with bottled up anger. We use to have fights after school at the oak tree in the park. There would be 30 to 100 people watching two guys throw a couple of punches at each other. It was actually a good thing because when it was over it was usually over for good. Guys wiped off the dirt, sometimes a little blood, and shook hands and felt better because the anger was worked out. Now that is considered barbaric in today's Progressive world. Its much better to keep calm until the anger builds to the point that only spaying classmates with an AR15 will expunge the anger.
hell we cant be honest about the most basic things anymore. thats not progress. like tiga said, its simply best to know someones true thoughts if someone is willing to give them. even and especially if we disagree. America was founded on heated discourse but finding a way to come to some agreement. especially when you were at opposite ends. the founding fathers went at it for weeks when drawing up our constitution but found a way. we've gotten to the point where we have hipster white idiots marching with the blacks and black panthers chanting death to whitey and the blue eyed devil. All because they buy into this guilt thing. which is bullshit. anytime someone uses race its almost always to deflect blame and keeps them from having to take responsibility. its a lazy copout. slavery, oppression, yeah we get it. But history is there not to live in it. Its to learn from and to better yourself moving forward. Its time to take responsibility for your people. It sucks because the left has bred them into a slavery of dependency and they dont even realize it. Cant get govt assistance with a male figure in the house. Incentivizing babies having babies where the sons need a father figure so they turn to the streets and gangs and drug culture. All while mama is spitting out hoards of children in an endless depressing societal bleeding cycle. Listening to most inner city blacks, I dont think you can have even a 6th grade discussion much less an adult discussion with them where they would take responsibility for anything. This victim mentality shit is their undoing. I think they are fucked unless they make real changes. And so are our inner cities and any adjacent areas in the process.
Sounds like a prime opportunity to sell beer and snacks to the bloodthirsty crowd. Makes me feel bad that my fights never drew that kind of an audience. Hell, I couldn't even work out a deal for Get-Paid-to-View
Full disclosure, the high number would be for multiple fights - and probally of Full disclosure, the high number would be for multiple fights - and probably only happened once. It also speaks to the fact there wasn't a lot to do in Alexandria in the late 60s.
Brought back some memories. We would go in this alley after school. Once this black guy punched me in the hall. Bout knocked me out on my feet. I would never fight at school in HS so sent word for him to meet me in the alley. We fought, got up, shook hands and sat in the same vicinity at the basketball game that night and joked about who got the best of whom. That was it. No one made a race thing out of it. Course the blacks liked me cause it was well-known in the community that my father had stood up for minorities on more than one occasion.
