Gads - I have black neighbors right now, had them beside me in my DC townhome and next door in my first house bought after getting married....zero issues, nada none...
Worked for black minority (8a) gov't contractors and had black bosses and lots of black colleagues/employees - never an issue either. 35 years as a Federal manager and not a single EEO or discrimination or harassment complaint, which is an accomplishment. I don't treat anybody differently from anybody else and it shows, people pick up on my no-BS demeanor quickly. As to unsafe areas, yeah those exist, some have predominately minority residents, some can have redneck, creeps. (I could tell you stories about the Bubba's in the 5th district of Maryland) |

She posted some messed up stuff on fb and told my wife that she is a "danger to my family/kids" because she is/was a vocal Trump supporter. Said that if you aren't part of the solution, you are the problem. I don't miss her, she was a c**t. I do miss seeing her husband. |

I don't hate blacks because they are black, I hate them because they target me for crmes, and then their entire community stands up to defend them and blame me. Most of the time I hear "Well you shoulda stayed outta da hood!", regardless of the fact that I was in MY own home neighborhood. If a black person isn't safe in a white neighborhood, then everybody goes batshit crazy, but if a white person isn't safe in a black neighborhood- it's their own fault. Bull shit. Too many endless double standards and excuses. The whole issue exists because the black community won't take responsibility to clean up their own mess. If they did, there wouldn't be any reason for them as a whole to be hated by every other cultural group around them. |

I've followed him on twitter for years, he's becoming a professional victim.
Now he's bitching that his publisher pulled the plug on his upcoming book and his book agent has dropped him too. |

In Oakland CA and Richmond Ca, while living there, I experienced close to the same thing. The guys trying to beat me to death with baseball bats and steal my delivery truck, I just drove right through them. They got out of the way. This was 1979, BTW. Been jumped/mugged several times prior to that. Pretty much no violence after 2002, when I moved away.

Riverside, Ca Los Angeles, Ca Tampa, Fl Loma Linda, Ca Orlando, Fl Most neighborhoods were near a college campus. Riverside takes the cake- that's where I saw a 3 year old child in daipers walking around the parking lot with his daddy's Uzi threatening people. Lucky it was unloaded, he would have shot the cops who reponded, as he pointed the gun, yanked on the trigger and was cussing at them as they approached. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I might add that only Riverside had a serial killer loose in the neighborhood I lived in at the time also. I guess I'm just lucky. |

Abraham Lincoln had a lot to say about the black, Negro, colored, people in this country.
He was going to send as many of them that he could back to Africa after the civil was was over. Referring to Liberia! Here are a couple of his quotes. "I am not now nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of Negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the races which I believe will for ever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality." Abraham Lincoln, Sept. 18, 1858 at Charleston, Illinois. "I can conceive of no greater calamity than the assimilation of the ***** into our social and political life as our equal. . . We can never attain the ideal union our fathers dreamed, with millions of an alien, inferior race among us, whose assimilation is neither possible nor desirable.-Abraham Lincoln" |
