America no longer white, united, English-speaking

In case you wonder why your ears ring now and again, that's my mother seeing the warrant from Mineola.

I know the property taxes in Westchester, because I looked up Nita Lowey's house in Harrison. With the internet, you can just snoop on anybody. Yikes!

[cyborg]

Nope. No overreaction on your part at all. Me I can't stay out of an argument and keep my mouth shut *LOL*

I think Pat (and myself to a degree) fear that our huge Mexican wave will one day rule here the way they do in Mexico.

Mexico is ruled by a corrupt elite that is mostly of European heritage. The are white in other words. The folks who come here are anything from somewhat to mostly "indio" or American Indian (or various types depending on the region of Mexico) heritage. They were peons in Mexico, not much different in status than the Irish who fled English rule to come to the US.

Come, come, this thread was fair and balanced. After all, I spammed the thing with posts. LOL.

I went there to find a Western Union place for a wire transfer. I had seen Boys in Da Hood I think by then or some other hoodxploitation flick and expected either Jackson Mississpppi (Sugar Ditch style) ghetto or something like a real hood but found it to be sort of lower middle class bungalow stuff...surprising.

Most intimidating hoods I've seen would be Major Deegan expwy stuff in da Bronx or projects on Chicago's south side or around Newark. Man, when I drove by ....I was like...car please don't break down now. I'm a stone cold Peckerwood and they will know it and since I'm in Marxist turf anyhow...damn I'm unarmed..lol...I drove the Deegan a lot for years.

Most dangerous hoods I've lived near would have to have been those in Miami. There is a seething anger and hostility there I have not felt elsewhere but my old hometown is getting there.

For the record...I have never felt or had a probelm in an hispanic hood except for a mild fistfight with some Rican punks on upper Columbus in 83. I have been in some pretty bad hoods in Bogota and Rio too but I had security...without that...it would have been really bad....as in suicidal.

I tell you where else has some bad hoods...some of which are quite white....England...and their Jamaican hoods are rough.....which brings to mind JA...man Kingston has some very dangerous hoods....Trench, Denham,Jones-towns and Wareika Hills.....mean sumbitch turf for sure.

ok rant off

This may piss off many freepers who live in LI, but I do believe that much of the mess can be solved if the schools were consolidated (provided the extraneous employees were downsized) and these little fiefdoms known as school districts abolished. They did this in Orange County, CA a few years ago and it has worked OK. More important is to get the Socialists OF BOTH PARTIES in Albany to stop requiring the county to cover Medicaid costs everytime some housewife gets a headache.

From your lips to God's ears!!!

My aunt lives in South Central, granted it's not where the gangs are but it's a mix of middle class families and retired old people. Like poverty in America, no one has seen a real 'hood till they've been outside America.

LOL!!!!!!

NW 79th Street ESPECIALLY west of I-95 has got to be the scariest place I have ever driven on. Even the worst colonia in Mexico DF seemes safer and at least places like East New York in Brooklyn have some "normal" blocks. Hell, I even hated driving toward the causeway east of I-95. Its crackwhore central up to the intercoastal on that street!

The Woodlawn ghetto neighborhood just south of the University of Chicago was literally burnt to the ground while I was a student there, I guess for the insurance money. The population there dropped from 70,000 to 20,000 in five years. I assume it has improved since with new housing. I once walked three blocks through it with about 10 fellas to a chinese restaurant on 63rd street. It was like out of a Fellini film. Hundreds of kids on the streets smoking dope or drinking booze, broken glass everywhere, no grass, broken windows, you name it. But for some reason, they ignored us. Odd. But the worst of the worst was Oakwood from 47th to 35th street just off the lake. That place looked like Dresden after Churchill did his number on it.

Yo se pero usted piensa que nosotros debemos aceptar todo de el classe bajo de Mexico ?

Porque?

Yo no pienso asi. Yo no quiero que mi pais cambia tanto, pero yo so gringo.

No es un pais del todo ese mundo que va hacer que gente aqui esta dicindo de immigracion.....esa puerta abierto para todo gente de Mexico fantasia.....no creo!

You siento que nosotros tenemos gente aqui (FR) que tiene problemas con personas blanco y querien detruye el energia de ese clase dominante.

Solo mi opinion....y ese gringo ya vivio casi todos partes del nos tierra. No estoy ignorante de otros culturas o gente.

Perdon mi Portanol.

You know what I've always wanted to know? Where did crack come from? I guess that's another thread.

[Clemenza]

Well, from where I stand, they ARE assimilating, in terms of fashion, speaking ghetto English, shopping at Wal-Mart and watching crap like American idol. I too wish everyone understood the consitution, but it appears that only a small minority of us native born white folk do, most of our fellow pasty-faces being totally ignorant of the subject and obsessed with Sports, Laci Peterson and who gets voted off the island.

[Clemenza]

I lived on 60th and Drexel, one block from where Woodlawn began. Lots of new housing by 63rd Street now, but most of the nabe is still bad, though not as gruesome as it was in the 1970s and 80s.

[wardaddy]

That is true.

Take Caracas....when you drive up a few thousand feet from the airport at Macuto on the Caribbean thru the mountains at night all the hills are glittering with lights....it's beautiful. Then in daylight, you can tell it's all terra cotta hovels homesteading and stealing electricity for miles and miles (Chavez's power base).

Rio and Bogota are quite similar that way.....and hosts of other third world places.

Lagos Nigeria is ruff too but I think maybe west Kingston is worst I've seen....as far as dangerous....not poverty-wise though they are awful.

Lots of these third world hoods are controlled by criminal gangs...in JA and Brasil, the cops are skeered to go in....they usually will only go in with government forces.

[wardaddy]

I think it's the heat and the local black resentment that Latinos have usurped their minority status to a degree.

[Dan from Michigan]

My parents were driving on I-95 through the Miami area one time. I was riding with them and we looked out the window right around the Dade-Broward county line.

Everyone had the same reaction at the same time. "Looks like Detroit".

[cyborg]

Chavez talks that revolution garbage all day to those poor people but he's full of BILLIOUS CRAP. Don't get me started.

BTW, I think the Jamaican mafia can probably give some of the 'family' over here a run for their money. I wonder how true the character 'West Indian Archie' in Malcolm X was.
