I was watching some show on MTV with Puff Daddy about getting young people out to vote today.So they cut to Bruce Banner who is a rapper from Missippi and he goes back to his hood to talk to some kid about his 1st time voting.They showed the kids neighborhood and his house(some run down ---- hole)and I couldnt believe that this place they were showing on T.V was in the U.S.It looked like something you would see in Samalia or some 3rd world country.

Well here is what pisses me off.The kid talked like he was fresh off the plantation.The worst ------- english I have ever heard a human speak.He started rambeling about how life in the hood is so fucked up and that its the politicians fault that they live the way they do.He was saying he was mad becouse white people have nice schools and they dont.He was saying that its local politicians fault that people in his comunity dont have jobs.He blamed crime and drugs in his neighborhood on politicians.He said that is was because they didnt care.

Does this make annyone else upset?

Well that really pissed me off.That is the problem In the U.S.People like to pass the buck for their lazyness and ignorance.Thats why places like this exist in the most powerfull nation in the world.

Im mexican.I grew up in the ghetto.I grew up around gang bangers and crack dealers.I went to a fucked up high school where the teachers didnt care.But I got a ------- job at 17.Moved out the hood.Bought my 1st house at age 24 and now I own my 2nd house out right.

Untill people like this get a clue that they are ignorant and lazy they can vote all they want,but nothing will ever change.

How can they have all black colleges and not all white colleges? At least, they try to elimnate blacks from the colleges, but they can't do it explicitly.

I am not racist.. but does that seem fair?

You could say they are being repaid for the slavery ----. But, how long must we repay them.. for the rest of out life?

I am white, I grew up with all different people, black, white, mexican, arab... etc. I don't have a problem with anyone. I just hate the mentality that "everyone owes me something" try living with a roomate that believes that ----.

Pisses me off.

Or, a good one "you can't do that in the apartment.." (like he pays more rent than me.. )blah blah. People think that they own everything.. that is another type of mentality that I can't stand.

I feel your pain man, but thats america. your free to do as you please.

No, places like this exist in the US because you need people like him to make $3.25/hr to pump your gas/bag groceries/sell you weed/get themselves killed in iraq, etc. If everyone made a decent wage, you'd all be poor as all hell. A poor manual workforce maintains the factors of production, and accelerates the growth of an economy.

There, I feel so Republican!

That's pure bullshit. People like that are a drag on the workforce that propels america. they arn't reliable, and make low enough to still collect welfare. which is paid for by real workers, and taxpayers. they probably love in gov't housing too. ok if you really need a boost. but only that-a boost, not a handout for life.

Well, I'm Native American, where's my Native American College? Where's my money since my ancestors were used as slaves as well, killed, and had all their land taken away? The US government took Indians right from their tribes and made them slaves. The black slaves from Africa were POW's from when the local tribes fought. We didn't just go over and pick them off, they were selling themselves.

That crap makes me mad though.

And dropgear, I pump my own gas. Bag my own food. Grow my own weed (ok, not really, but I could!). Those scumbags aren't necessary in this world. So you think drug dealers are a necessary part of our society then?

But yes, I hate when people pass the blame on others for their downfalls.

and stenseltizm, I agree with you, ya newb :P

yeah i don't usually post, but that type of thinking pisses me off. Once you pass puberty, you're responsible for yourself. Quit blaming everyone else, and take the harder road, be responsible for yourself.
