niaevety gets girls raped and murdered.
ehh most folks if you talk to them nicely and dont give attitude or anything are really nice regardless of race or economic status, there are the occasional a-holes though. She was probably just being nice and recieving the same backagree

And in some neighbourhoods I've had others appear nervous when I walk into a room, and just calm down and relax after a few minutes.
Did they think you were a narc or something? Why do you think they were nervous when you walked into the room ???
I am on business travel at in St. Louis this week and I brought the love of my life with me! During my free time today I decided to show my fiancee how the less fortunate lives (East St.Louis). She is naive when it comes to urban America (she is from the highlands of Scotland). She was not afraid at all, she actually went into a local hood rat hang out to buy us afew bottles of juice.
What was funny to me was, if she was originally from the USA she probaby would have stayed away from those type of stores but she went in with full confidence (or naivitiy and actually made friends rather than enemies.
I need a Psych major to decipher this phenom. I don't know if it was her european charm or her just being stand up and unafraid that kepted the ghetto bullies at bey.
I think some of them actually spoke correct english when conversing with her!
(Just goes to show you can change anyone if you are naive but speak to them intelligently!)
WTH folks
What gives here ???
A narc?! {lol} I guess those stereotypes do die hard don't they? ;)I thought you were saying that the people in the places like Hustle Man took his girl were nervous when you walked into the room!
Dang when was this? Hopefully many many years ago.
No STella, this occured in Beverly Hills and Bel Air, ...and I think they weren't accustomed to Black people.
For some of the people, Blacks were people they saw on TV, and in the nightly news,
...but they never really spoke with one in person. Go figure. :-\

I hoped that you explained to her how if she were to go alone there at night, and tried being friendly with the "locals", she could probably be gang-raped and murdered. But if you tried to tell that that all she had to do is be sociable with those types, then that was highly irresponsible. Although you've defended low-life criminals in some of your past posts by saying they were victims of unfortunate socio-economic conditions, when statistics and reality clearly show different, if you care about this girl, keep her as far away from that environment as possible. You think it might be cool to show her that you're down with the "homies", but you could be giving her a false sense of security. Take her to nice places with sophisticated people with class. Leave the Ghetto in your past.

sending her in there without a peace offering was pretty damned irresponsible of ya
Interestingly enough, I've also had others revert back to proper english when they realized I don't speak colloquial ebonics. And in some neighbourhoods I've had others appear nervous when I walk into a room, and just calm down and relax after a few minutes.
author=jaguarenterprises link=topic=219765.msg3074264#msg3074264 date=1213997096]HM was talking about East St. Louis...and of course there are decent people everywhere but windsor88's article can help you to understand a little better.
I know you were, that's why I say stereotypes die hard. I got the distinct impression you associated the neighbourhood with drug dealing. I could be wrong, but all I read from HM's post was that she was in an area where people are less fortunate. He didn't say he took her into command central for the Medellin cartel, just that the neighbourhood was less fortunate.
I could be wrong, since I'm not the most familiar with St. Louis, but what I do know is that there are many areas that consist of lower income people, who simply have less money than others, but that doesn't mean they're not still hard working good people, with self-respect, community pride, and decent values.
BTW - From personal experience, I've noticed most drug dealers are to be found in most of the nicer neighbourhoods. That's how many can afford to live there in the 1st place. ;)
Since the above sentences were in the same paragraph I assumed you were talking about neighborhoods like HM mentioned in both sentences.
HM was talking about East St. Louis...and of course there are decent people everywhere but windsor88's article can help you to understand a little better.
That may be from your personal experience because those were the types of places you went and yes, they do exist but my police officer friends can assure you that most drug dealers are not found living in nicer neighborhoods. Although "nicer [neighborhoods]" can be a relative term.
It's kind of endearing that people actually think black guys* in the hood are licking their chops waiting for an innocent white woman to make a wrong turn, LOL!Please make the world a better place and get over yourselves right now!
*Note: Didn't feel the "N-word" would be appropriate, though it would have made the point better and been much funnier... to me.
What year was it?
It was a few years back, ...but not as many years back as one would assume.
In fact, relatively speaking I'd say it was rather recent, ...oh well, times are changing.
Did I miss the part in HM's post where he stated the people his girl encountered in the local hood rat hang out were black men?
What year was it?
You missed the cultural cues. :)
That would appear to be the case she's building. ;)
Windsor's article posted well after HM's refers to East St. Louis Illinois. I was under the impression that HM was refering to the east side of St. Louis, Missouri. Up here we put the North, South, East West descriptives AFTER rather than before as you guys like to do it, and not being as familiar with many US cities, I thought he was refering to St. Louis, MO. I believe I qualified that in my statement saying I wasn't familiar with the city.
E St. Louis is directly acros the Mississippi from St. Louis, Missouri. Sorta like how There is Kansas City Missouri and also a Kansas City, Kansas. Yeah its weird.
amateur Cultural AnthropologistNow that's funny lol!
HM,
I sent you a text last week.
No biggie, HM. Was a Happy Father's day message.
Damn Jake,;D :)
I must be eating too much TOFU I kinda got all choked up! Actually I have been very emotional lately! My lady reminded me that Tofu has a lot of estrogen is that true?
I am actually enjoying my daughters' girly shows (Hannah Montana... etc) What gives?
And I have actually been listening to my ex-wife bitch and moan about nothing.
My fiancee is always all ears I don't get it (how the ex and my S.O. get along so well)
Damn I am rambling I think the Tofu kicked in during this post.
I need help!!!!
No biggie, HM. Was a Happy Father's day message.
