I’ve already done that in detail living where I lived

And anyone knows me here knows all that about me anyhow

You made claims equating white and black neighborhoods as equally dangerous

When pressed for examples you’ve done nothing but wiggle

I’ve been here with you before as have others over your Pollyanna racial views

Being some sort of race relativist is what you do cause it suits you regardless of the stats on black hoods versus whites or what all of us experience

How many reasonable black people or surly white trash we’ve known in our lives has nothing to do with the numbers or the reality that almost every black neighborhood is unsafe for whites alone especially after dark and that comparable white neighborhoods are unheard of

Yet you say they are and therefore I asked directly

What white neighborhood is unsafe for you.....

You refuse to answer

Because you can’t

You lecture about race and hold the unsubstantiated views you do I reckon.....cause it’s what you have to do

And that’s fine if it helps you along....emotions ...well I get that

But don’t insist the rest of us ignore our lying eyes and ears and go along with emotions you foster from need rather than reality

For the record...

Go back and read my posts. I was very clear.

You made claims equating white and black neighborhoods as equally dangerous

Here's what I've been posting: In the town WHERE I GREW UP 30-40 years ago, there were "white" neighborhoods as dangerous as the "black" neighborhoods. And that's why my POV is different.

I also wrote, "No one here said the black community as a whole doesn't have problems. It's obvious there are big problems."

The crux of this argument is that you say people are incapable, whereas I'm disagreeing and saying, no, people are making the wrong choices.

I'm the one with the conservative point of view here.

don’t insist the rest of us ignore our lying eyes and ears and go along with emotions you foster from need rather than reality

I never insisted that you or anyone else do anything. I said, "I know I can't change your mind, but your candor was appreciated."

In response, you flipped out on me. Hmmm... Why, all of a sudden? I wonder...

What white neighborhood is unsafe for you..... You refuse to answer Because you can’t

WAS unsafe. That was 30-40 years ago. It was not in the South.

I’ve already done that in detail living where I lived

Not really. You mentioned living in Manhattan, and then you mentioned some stories that everyone heard in the news.

Well, all right, I suppose you did tell me that you lived in Manhattan. So, I'll tell you that I grew up near (but not in) Philadelphia.

You lecture about race

No, I don't. You're the one lecturing. I added my POV and thought the conversation was over. You can't seem to let it drop. I wonder why...
