This place got trashed!

Say what you will, but black people in the south just don't know how to act. I mean, seriously - who does this and thinks they'll just walk out??

[lesfunk]

Is there any wonder why there's still racism?

hmmmm....I see.

Is starting this thread an attempt to shed your racist image?

Nope: it's due to insecurity and small mindedness.

Not at all, binnie. Read what my fellow long suffering Floridian VAiN posted:

The truth is, the phenomenon is something that literally needs to be seen to be believed. If you haven't experienced it first-hand, there is no way I could convince you of what goes on. Look, I'm perfectly aware that this comes off as being borderline (let alone overtly) racist, but a percentage of Southern blacks behave sub-humanly in public. I'm not kidding, nor am I implying that all people of color act this way in this state. I'm also not speaking of common rudeness, which is pretty much inherent to everyone else that lives here. (If you think I'm joking, try merging onto one of the highways here. Helpful hint from your Uncle chef: A loaded gun works better than a turn signal.) What I am getting at is an unfathomable need to act out, be it caused by too much sunshine on their skulls, a poor diet, years of generational ignorance or Christ knows what. This is accompanied by a truly bizarre sense of entitlement to go with the total lack of conscience. It's fucking nuts to see. Every little inconvenience is viewed seemingly as some sort of personal slight, be it something so minor as having a cashier forget to throw in a ketchup package into a take out order (which probably is what took place here) to being asked to leave the premises because the store is closing. Whatever the issue, it is met with an improbable and totally inappropriate reaction, which usually ends with raised voices, property or physical damage or in some cases, all three. And at no time are they ever willing to accept responsibility for their own actions.

This group of people is a gigantic pain in the ass to service workers, retail employees, the police, society in general and truthfully, anyone unfortunate enough to have to encounter them. They create havoc wherever they go, and seem to care less who is affected by their actions. Having an open mind and trying to be understanding will only take you so far when attempting to cope with them, so nine times out of ten most people simply acquiesce to them just to be done dealing with them. It is an appalling state of affairs, and feeling insecure about the situation is a logical and downright practical way of feeling about it.

after watching a brilliant doco on dr. martin luther king, that's depressing.

This.

You nailed it on the head, Chef! Bravo, very well stated and VERY accurate. It's easy to call racism, but it's really not. How many times do you burn yourself until you stop playing with fire? I've learned to avoid them as much as possible. They know the average white guy is pretty much afraid of them because they do not give a fuck about anything.
I've lived here for more than 30 years, so trust me when I say we have a special breed down here, it's just simply amazing. I honestly feel bad for my friends who have young children down here - I can't imagine what public schools are like now. Until the black 'community' recognizes the problem and actually deals with it head-on, it'll just keep getting worse.

I respect you Chef - but are there not also a minority of white people who 'act out' in public and have a massive sense of entitlement? I'm not denying that such behaviour is disgusting, but is it race related? Surely not?

(I would also like to clarify that my original comment was not meant as a slight against anyone who has posted in this thread.)

Around here it sure seems like it is. Here's an interesting stat that's a few years old, but still very valid:

Florida has a Black population that equals 14%, yet a Black prison population that is 54%. Blacks in that state have a majority only in the prison population.

I think it is certain sorts, specifically supremacist.
I have moved around the south. One thing I did notice was some sections have a worse problem of supremest than others of varying kinds.

The subject Negro supremacist simply has not been fully discussed openly as Caucasoid supremacist.

If you want enlightenment on the subject read this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_supremacy

The Moors are especially grotesque. It is equivalent in grotesqueness as some of the worse Caucasoid supremacist.

Or maybe it's just Burger King...
