Black Folks & White Folks Don't Socialize in the ATL

NCAA football is hot...

I haven't played anyone online in it tho...

some people are too d@mn good...

I used to play nfl 2k online, with my dreamcast years ago..

 

As much as i hate to say it, you're 100% correct.

I think Clarence Thomas - a man i wholeheartedly despise - said it best when he said that he feared the white liberals in Washington than klansman in white sheets from the south.

 

C Thomas is a buffoon and of course he would say that because he's a lap dog of the conservative agenda.

 

That he may be, but he's right. Guys like Joe Biden are just as racist with their subtle haughtiness than outright bigots like Trent Lott but are much more dangerous because you don't know their motives.

 

True both Lott who is now gone and Thomas-still here are both dangerous and dumb.

 

Your joking, right? J Biden is nothing like T Lott and to suggest that borders on lunacy. Biden has consistently voted pro choice, affirmative action, and gay rights.

 

Listen to me, a person who "supports" your agenda yet sees you as inferior is just as damaging as someone who hates your guts openly.

 

Dont really know whats up with the article,but i kinda see that happening.The only "unity" within the south between whites and blacks,is probably black guy,white girl relationships.You obviously understand why white guys dont like to mingle and party with blacks.It goes the other way as well.I know alot of black guys that date white girls,but dont want anything to do with white guys.

 

word...

that ain't no bull..

don't help me because you think I can't do shiet for myself.

lol

 

Umm so how do you explain suggesting that a particular black man is the exception and not the norm? Or that schools in Iowa are much better than ones in D.C. because they have few minority students?

 

Please tell me when Biden said anything remotely close to either of these statements.

 

Geez do you read the papers or watch the news?

Your right! Biden's an ass! What he said was ugly and racist. But he didnt say or imply that he thought that blacks were inferior. What he said about Obama was bascially a racist backhanded compliment and he implied that Iowa schools perform better because they dont have minority students. (And while I think he mispoke, his statements do completely change my view of him.)

But if you continue to read he goes on to state that "half this education gap exists before the kid steps foot in the classroom." Now you can look at that one of two ways. Either from a socio-economic point of view or from a racial point of view. Of course you being a conservative Repubican and Biden being a Democrat, you are going to take it to be racial. Now before I give Biden a white sheet and appoint him as the next Grand Wizard, Grand Puba, or whatever those idiots call themselves, I would have to read the whole interview and not a snippet of the interview. Any person who pays attention to politics and has a brain knows how statements can be taken out of context.

(Did you notice that he didnt pick one of the Appalachian mountain states? Because the schools there do poorly - not because of race because the minority population there is low - but because of socio-economis problems.)

By the way, I read the NY Times and the NY Daily News and my earlier opinion of Biden was based on his voting record because I dont have time to track down every statement or soundbite given by a politican. But given by your ability to do so, it seems you watch a great deal more TV than I do.

 

What?

First of all, i am not a conervative Republican.

Secondly, you can defend him all you want, but the simple truth exists in the fact that racists can be as inward as they are outward.

 

Maybe it's my age....but I read Clarence Thomas' book....'My Grandfather's Son'....I can't say his ideas were all bad. It certainly makes you take a look at things from a different perspective. Thomas isn't as blindly conservative as many think. He actually wants to help blacks but he is more about uplifting the poor among us as opposed to giving affirmative action to black kids whose parents make six-figures.

 

:idea: Well there's another "scene" that they didn't talk about in the article where there IS alot of mixing of the races... :twisted:

 

Why would your school have two cafeterias, one for kids who brought their lunches to school and one for those that didn't? It seems like a waste of space to me when you can just have one large cafeteria that could accommodate the entire student body that was taking lunch at the same time.

 

no mixing in atl?

Crap. I plan on moving there in July and I was hoping to meet some bm :wink:

 

This article is so true of Atlanta! When I first moved there people would tell me oh don't go there or there and I was new to city living. So I just thought to myself ok and kept my eyes open. I geuss I was expecting people to be racist, it is the south. Had people tell me it was not safe to walk around shopping in the comunity I lived in. As though there were folks running around with machine guns and crack or some bs. These were people who lived on the north side of town or out in the suburbs and for the most part people who were born and raised there. I wondered to my self if they had ever been there to my town or just kept talking about some thing they knew nothing about. The problem was never that I actually lived in a bad part of town only that I lived in a primarily black neighboorhood. Everything is like that there pretty much separated but it is strange and subtle. I did hear that Carolton has a lot of mixed couples though. But in spite of all that Atlanta is a ww's paradise :twisted: if you are not afraid to have lots of peolpe hate you.

 

Our school was built in 1964....and there was never any thought that it would have more than 2,000 + students. I graduated in '04....and we had three separate lunches..."A" lunch..."B" lunch and "C" lunch....each had 700 people.....the cafeteria for those that brought their lunches was part of the original design....the newer cafeteria where the hot lunch crowd was...got built about 15 years later because of the increasing population of students....even now....the two cafeteerias are really crowded...but my friend....who has a younger brother that goes there said....they have done a lot of remodeling
