Yes, she does use ‘like’ a few more times than I said.
Yeah, like six times as many. Hee. Hee. Hee. Well, I appreciate the fact you ended your post with your appropriate name. In the future, put that in your tagline so there's no confusion. Get to it. Chop chop.

Only an airhead would criticize a 14 yr old for a few grammatical colloquialisms. Or an idiot. You’re probably definitely the latter. lol

Rakeshia. I don’t even have to watch the video.

I didn't even need her name. I knew the demographics from the thread title alone.

I defy anyone to tell me im imagining it.

In the politically correct world, we we have been expected (and conditioned somewhat) to pretend a lot of things, which we can readily observe, are just not there.

A couple weeks ago I was watching the so-called news with the wife and they showed video of a scene of some uncivil behavior on the part of shoppers at a Midwestern Nike store (the day the Air Jordans came out). I observed, in crystal clear high def, zero white people involved in the mob scene. Now, I have seen that sort of thing before but this time I decided to make a comment about it. My wife told me I was racist. I don't know if that was for saying what I saw or seeing what I saw.

Either way I am tired of giving people a pass for behaving like animals, and I'm also tired of pretending there is no correlation with certain ethnicities when it is plain as the nose on my face there is.

Now, correlation IS NOT causation as almost everyone knows, BUT STILL, there's a BIG problem here (education and upbringing IMO) and everybody wants to just pretend there isn't. I don't think it is healthy and I'm not going to play that game any more.

There are chimps at the zoo that would find this out of control. Lots of hatred there with those girls.

Good for you. Show her some of these videos on YouTube. Fast food restaurants and public transportation seems to be their favorite domains to start showing their ass. Show her that recent video of the lady walking in the gas station to pay for her gas and the guy behind her ends up stalking her on the road and beats her to death with a bat. It’s often, but not always, white people they are attacking. Recently, a group in Chicago was harassing an older black man and one knocked him out on the platform. They laughed and whooped and hollered. These people have no conscience. The probably never will because you can’t really grow a conscience at a later time. They will reproduce and things will get worse.

Man-o-man.

There are actually males out there that would put their things into those things? wow. I mean, they are most DEFINITELY guilty!

But yeah, Rakeshia did it for me too. Didn't even have to look.

It’s a bad speech pattern that many young people have the habit of using. I find myself using way too many “likes” at times—not to this extent though. I don’t think she’s an airhead, but just a typical young American girl in the 2000’s.

I don’t care what anyone says. The attack and hooting, looks and sounds like chimpanzees. The style of hitting, the monkey hooting and screaming,, a few even literally start swinging from overhead bars. Don’t take my word for it,, watch the video. I defy anyone to tell me im imagining it.

You're not imagining it. That's exactly what went through my mind when I watched the video. The question is, what do you do with something like that. It's not an easy thought to harbour, but there it is...

MiLady's self-defense...old school.

I never mind being edited when said editing improves either the content or the word flow.

You are correct, sir.
