Just wanna mention something. It isnt all little rich white kids.. it can be black ppl too..who act all gangsta and shit.

Theres a guy I work with (black) but he is so well spoken and nice.. then shows off and says he is ghetto and an evil gangsta bastid.. its just stoopid IMO..

Baby, I love you but the bolded statement up top, unintentional or not, is an insult to black people.



It isnt intended to be an insult, all I am saying is that he speaks well.. as alot of people I know both black AND white do, yet then goes into this ghetto talk to show off... and calls himslef a gangsta.. now I know white kids who do this too.. so it isnt a colour issue.. it is merely people mimicking what they have seen in music videos, Ali G tv shows and the such.. all I am saying is, it is soo yesterday.

This thread is NOT about black people.

This thread is about people acting all ghetto.. thats all hug

Sorry if I offended you.

How so? To me it implies "evil gansta bastids" are not well spoken or nice (which is kind of the point) irrespective of race or colour.


I think you will find that the import of the whole comment was that this guy while being well spoken and kind acts all ghetto. Look at the context and try not to look for racism where there is none. Damn.

Never mind. I re-read what Fed said. I apologize Fed.

I still believe this thread should be locked though.

So your point is that to imply that acting ghetto is a negative thing is insulting?

Fed made reference to the color of the guy's skin that she worked with. Had she left that one little word out, I would not have even commented on it. Calling a black person well-spoken is an insult.



I can see that, but [img]that[/img] point was not raised

But why should it be locked? Cos you dont agree or something? I dont understand.. I am not baiting anyone.. even Finess has posted his bit..

I bet you prolly have a laugh at this guy.. does he offend you? I mean he is acting ghetto but I dont find him offensive, just plain funny...


btw, I am sorry you dont agree, and I still love you kisses but I still dont see why this thread should be locked.

Oh and btw, at my school there were prolly MORE black people than white... and the black people were prolly even more well spoken than the white people.

Just to prove a point, but I still dont see how it insults someone
