I know this is common rhetoric to say " you'll get shot in that hood if you walk through it"
Can you point to more than 3 examples of this in the last year of a white person being shot in E. ST L just for bing there.......not for buying/selling dope or some other illicit thing?
I think what ya'll don't understand is that because of our history, its going to be a bigger deal when blacks are denied rather than when whites are denied. White people are the majority, they have the control, when you are in control you are going to be looked at differently. i'm black and I don't care if every asian, mexican, and whatever racial minortiy doesn't allow me into the establishment. If its a white establishment, I'm not going to like it. Its different, we are not equal in this country. Whites make up over 60% of this country and control most of everything. When you guys are the minority and no longer dominate everything, we won't be having this discussion.
How about if there was 1 specific channel called WET (white entertainment television). We have BET and I dont see any whites making a big fuss about it. Would blacks be ok about WET without causing an uproar?
Whites have nothing to complain about in the case of BET because they own it. Why don't they just change the name if it's a problem?
And i don't give a damn if someone comes up with a WET because that's essentially what the major networks are now anyway.

They don't call it "White Entertainment Television" they call it VH1. Also its more logical since there are very few black shows on the other networks. You couldn't name a single show with a primarily black cast on the 4 major networks, they're as exclusionary toward blacks as BET is to white programming.

He can't.
Truth is, real hardcore ghetto neighborhoods are inundated by whites coming over to buy dope. I can't remember the last time one was killed doing so. These guys don't know what they're talking about.
That's why i tell them to speak on things they know about in their cookie cutter burbs. Girl scout cookie sales and Clambakes. They need to quit trying to comment about the streets because they're clueless.
A white person in a black neighborhood would be there to look for drugs, guns or some other illicit thing. Not just taking a stroll.
This does not imply that the neighborhood as a whole is full of these type of people. Many are good, Christian, hard working families. It is just that Whites have the sterotype of black neighborhoods being dangerous. Blacks have the sterotype of a white person either being up to no good, so they are defensive or looking for something they can't get elsewhere, so the dealers come out.....
That's not true! Dave Chappelle debunked that myth when he showed that all us white folks need is the sound of an electric guitar!
