There are posters on here who do address issues that are taking place in the Black community, and are trying to address the issue, but they don't do it in the hateful way that you have. You have even suggested that Jim Crow was a good thing. I don't see any other Black people saying that. There are Black people who are exasperated by some of the dysfunction that has taken place over the last 40 years, but from I see this "I look down on Black Americans" mentality. If you come at Black Americans with that kind of mentality, of course we are not going to listen to you. There is a difference between tough love(which is what Bill Cosby, Michael Nutter, Thomas Sowell, and some other leaders advocate) and your arrogance.
I haven't seen many Black posters address any issues here just get defensive and launch into personal attacks.

Regarding #1 --- good question. And as for #2, it's the black neighborhoods that endure the huge onslaught of these cheap labor foreigners who cannot assimilate.

You must be white.

I think it's a huge mistake to allow these people into this country.

Well I have seen them. I have contact with some of them. Like I said before, I know how to address issues without getting arrogant about it. It is the arrogant way you go about it that angers alot of people. Maybe those posters don't trust you. It is like I said before, if you come at people in an arrogant manner, you anger them and you'll find defensiveness. Maybe the defensiveness is in response to YOU.

Uh; Bosnians, Arabs and some "Mexicans" are "white". Not all of us are pasty skin with light hair.

Tho the stuff between the Black groups DON'T surprise me because American Blacks have the rep of NOT "playing well" with other Africans even like Christian Nigerians.

Bwahahahahaaahaha. Am I surprised? Not really, I suppose. Both Minneapolis and St. Paul public schools are turning into dumps, slowly but surely.

I remember several years back in the park just two blocks from the high school here there was a massive brawl between the Hmong and blacks that got quite a bit of the SPPD over here. When I was at that school back around 2000 there were a couple other racial "riots: that occurred there too, and whites were getting assaulted left and right in the halls following the O.J. Simpson verdict bringing a few dozen of the SPPD to school that day as well. There was also a lovely shooting just two blocks up (one from the HS) where a melee spilled over into the street following the basketball game, including some gunfire.

Yeah, gotta love dieversity!

Don't worry, we MNans are the ones importing them as Minneapolis has the largest Somali community on the planet outside of Mogadishu.
