One of the joys of being an expat is that I do not see black/afro people. I have seen maybe 3 in the last 5 years.
I left Memphis for the last time in 2005. I understand that it is now 60% black.

We went through Memphis in the 90’s on our way from Des Moines to Biloxi to visit my parents. We left our hotel to visit a nearby mall to buy swimsuits. We were the only white people in the entire mall, as far as I could tell.

I'm the whitest whitebread suburban guy there is. And I have no problem with Black People at all. My 6th grade teacher was Black, Mrs. Kirkwood and there was only one black kid in the class. I think I first saw black people on the streets when I was in jr high. Not a lot of exposure, there.

In my career as a sales rep, Black doctors and nurses were among the people I sold to. And I'm sure they have race-dar to pick up vibes from people, who don't like blacks. I developed many friendships and relationships over the years.

I've been hired by a black manager, who then had to let me go and then hired me back when he could. I work today with black people as customers, colleagues and admin support.

I've never had a problem with these productive, friendly and full of good humor Americans. I'm called a brother from another mother by one of my colleagues, who not coincidentally is an active believing Christian.

The black underclass is a creation of the Democrat Party (with zero pushback by the GOP) and is a catastrophe mostly for Black Americans, but for the entire country.

This is not a racial issue. Thomas Sowell wrote about this in his book Black Rednecks and White Liberals, about how black urban culture is very similar to white redneck culture back in the Hatfield and McCoys days.

Theodore Dalrymple wrote about the White Underclass in the UK, whose culture is practically indistinguishable to Black urban cultur in 'Life at the Bottom: The Worldview That Makes the Underclass'.

Socialism in both countries is creating this culture and this catastrophe.

Oh is the big bad black person gonna hurt our favorite little America bashing rat turd alex?! WHERE IS THE QUOTE WORM? POST IT!!!

Memphis is 60% black, and you are 100% a cowardly, lying, POS. I believe in the Rev. King's dream, and judge people not on the color of their skin, but the content of their character. You have no character, no courage, no b*lls, and no country. When the end comes, I will die surrounded by my countrymen. You will die a hated stranger in a Turd World sewer.

BTW...WHERE'S THE QUOTE, LIAR?!?!?

GRRRRRRRRRRRR...Dawg Soldiers up!

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

I know plenty of black folks that I'd rather be around vs. some of the whites I've encountered...your comment says more about you than it does many decent and honorable folks of any skin color.

Folks, I make no apologies for this final tombstone-style PING to an ancient thread, but I was only just TODAY alerted to its existence (H/T to our FRiend, NHale!)...

The long FR nightmare is over. The man, the waste, the legend, AlexW, at long last got his well-deserved final ride of the lightning from our hallowed forum.

So, with a little heavy graphics kick in the buttocks, let's once again dance on the ashes with a hearty

And of course, what would a ZOT thread be without a visit from Ursula the Viking Kitten?

VERILY, EVEN SVORTALF WOULD NOT DINE UPON YOUR FETID AND FESTERING CARCASS, YEA, EVEN IF MUCH CURRY WAS USED TO MASK YOUR SCENT!

CARE TO WAGER, SISTER?
