[@Dynamo Frokane] Racism comes from ignorance. You do not become friends and spend time and purposefully live around the culture, (note was not born there, I lived there through my own actions. I choose to stay at the predominantly black school because it was going better for me than my other options.) and not learn about the culture in the process. I'm friends with people all over the internet, different cultures, religions and political spectrum's. People that act like this doesn't matter, I guarantee do not have those friends. I'm not saying racism can't exist in the Ghetto, it does. Just not the racism stated by the progressives from their mansions. [quote]Also using 'ghetto' and black culture interchangeably is pretty worrying, you do realise that there are black people live outside of the hood right? [/quote] [quote=@SleepingSilence] [@Dynamo Frokane] the ghetto or "black culture". [/quote] Dude, I know your doing it on purpose. But I'll clarify again in case your misinterpreting "CONTEXT MATTERS FOR CRYING OUT LOUD" if something is put in "quotations" its usually implied that there's something "supposed" about them.... https://www.google.com/search?q=putting+quotations+around+a+word&rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS720US720&oq=putting+quoations&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0l5.3855j0j8&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 [color=ed1c24][u][b]"Scare quotes, shudder quotes, or sneer quotes are quotation marks placed around a word or phrase to signal that a term is being used in a non-standard, ironic, or otherwise special sense." [/b][/u][/color] I am aware of that, [b]thanks[/b]...which is why I used the quotes...paying attention to the little details (or at all.) is nice. So when you actually understand where I'm coming from and don't spend every second, trying to spin things I say. I'll bother continuing this conversation. So I'm sorry if that completely valid argument "annoys" you because it means I can't be labelled something I already know I'm not. (or even imply it. Like you [b]did[/b] try to.) But I'll take all of this online wisdom with a massive grain of salt. And if you're family is friends with racists. (which just sounds pretty ridiculous.) I don't know if that says anything but the content of their own character...but I digress.
