While my parents both hold higher degrees than I do, I'm definitely smarter than my mom, without question. My dad still has me beat, though.

I've never stolen anything in my entire life; not even candy or small grocery items, which I believe is fairly common among children. It's just never something that appealed to me. My dad always told me that if there's anything I ever need to just ask for it.
The computer I'm posting from is the Samsung Galaxy Note 2, which is something I just asked for as a birthday gift.

Dafuq!? :conf:
Hold on, I wanna try and figure this one out... Is stealing bikes a thing? It used to happen to me growing up. I would get my bike stolen by the blacker kids in the neighborhood, when I lived in public housing. Helped build character, I suppose.

When I was younger, and just getting into DBZ (and anime), the way characters facial expressions were exaggerated used to have me in tears, from laughter. My avatar is from this clip:

First, and foremost, I do NOT trust The Jew!
The last neighborhood I lived in was almost entirely Hasidic Jews, and I just could not deal! Most of them were always either rude or just ignored me completely, even if they bumped right into me on the street. I have to respect their solidarity though. I went to predominantly Jewish public schools, growing up. Every ing day we had to learn about the Holocaust :o .
Ghettofication is essentially the black equivalent to the same conditions that produce white trash, and while there's obviously way more white trash out there than ghetto blacks, blacks get an inordinate amount of air time from the media (aka Jews).
As for there being a larger percentage of hood blacks, out of the total black population, than other groups (assuming this is the case), I think the answer is fairly straightforward. While the advantage, in any society, will always lie with those whom are descendants of the conquerors, rather than with those who were conquered, people are divided throughout the world, based upon their mentalities.
Part of why I can't ever respect black artists who produce really inane music, is because they're just adding fuel to the fire. A lot of them aren't anything like the personalities they portray. Enlightenment has to come from within, and it doesn't happen overnight. Blacks like me, who have grandparents that went to college, are still quite rare. It takes at least several generations to come out of the kind of conditions we were still being subjected to, only a little over 50 years ago. I still have uncles and aunts who were admitted into top tier universities, but who had to drop out because they were being chased down and beaten up by racist whites. Blacks don't exist within a vacuum. None of us just popped into existence as hood-rats.
Public housing, like Social Security, is something that was started a long time ago, and I think it's something that should probably be done away with. As for why it's failed; again, blacks don't exist in a vacuum. Everyone's involved, in one way or another.

Say what!?
What's the significance of them being green? Lets see if I can figure this one out... Nope, can't :sadgreen: . At most, I think I'd be afraid to swim in the deep part of an actual ocean. It's still too soon, you know?
