A reason for racism?
 

I took my 11 year old niece to see Epic Movie tonight. We had just gotten our soda and candy and we're going to the theater when we passed a large group of blacks (probably in the 18-23 year old range). They didn't bother us but they were harassing another group of kids as we walked by. I honestly didn't even pay attention and we took our seats in the theater. A few minutes later my niece wanted popcorn so without thinking twice I gave her cash and told her to go get it. She left and was gone for 5 minutes or so.

So first off I currently reside in a very small town on the border of Ohio and West Virginia, where there is very few problems, and I am 33 years old. I had also asked my niece to bring straws as I had forgotten them, but when she came back she was visibly shaken. I asked what was wrong and she said the black kids (there was about 8 of them) backed her into a corner and were demanding she give them her popcorn. She managed to get away and run to the theater.

So I am not going to act like some bullshit bad ass, but I'd like to think anyone on here would defend their family no matter what. I left the theater and saw the group in the hallway. I chastised them for harassing my niece, and one of the black males starting talking shit to me. I got up in his face and begged him to do something.

So here is what happened. One of the guys got up behind me and sucker punched me, splitting open my lip pretty bad. I threw a back elbow that caught him pretty flush, and took his friend that was in my face down and started to pound him. I was fucking him up pretty bad when his friends started to kick me as I was on top of him. At this point I was in a pretty bad spot.

Funny thing though, as I thought I was fucked two anonymous rednecks (and I say this respectfully) pulled the other two off and threw them a pretty good beating. I was able to concentrate on the one I had down and gave him some ground and pound he won't soon forget.

First of all I am forever indebted to the two guys that helped me out, even though I was a stranger to them. They bailed before the cops got there and I can't blame them, but without them I would be a grease spot on the theater floor.

Second I would like to thank the St Clairsville, Oh Police Department, as they treated me with the utmost respect as they were sorting things out.

So here is my final issue. Blacks are always the first to scream racism, irregardless of the situation. But the fact of the matter is while I don't deny racism is an obstacle they face every day, I also feel they they bring a lot of it upon themselves by their actions. Flame away at me if you'd like, but I don't see groups of white kids pulling the same shit.

I have no problem saying this, you take a random sampling of 100 groups of black kids in that age group, and you take another random sampling of 100 groups of white kids in that age group, violence will be at least 75% higher amongst blacks...

can't be racist if you're pointing out facts... when many of them get in groups they act like a bunch of fucking monkeys. :Oh crap

Actually let me rephrase that, while I'm sure there are large groups of white kids that are punks I seem to see it 90% more often from large groups of black kids.

Oh and also, groups of blacks in movie theaters or malls... jesus, I AVOID going to the mall or movies on saturday nights because for some reason they like to come out of the wood work and start shit. i too am from ohio (north eastern), I don't know if it's just an ohio thing but it's what I have observed.

people still fight with their hands? damn its all guns here

on a serious note I can show you tons of white kid trouble makers all over the place, I can show you women trouble makers I can show you gay trouble makers, I don't think color has anything to do with it.

Would you be as upset if it was white kids that where bothering your neice, or would you accept it more.

Look I live in a area with a huge mix black whites hispanic asain russian etc. there is good and bad in all

Its a shame you had a bad night and glad your alive and kicking

Young thugs or wannabe thugs tend to be assholes whatever the race they are...

On a side note I had the same kind of shit happen with a black crew at a strip club... but it was a black on black fight... and it wasn't a popcorn story.

Anyways, those kids were dumb as fuck. WTF is that? Harassing a 11yo girl for some popcorn and cornering her.

You did a good thing by beating them up.

The thing that really bothered me is my niece looks every bit of 11 years old. She is the epitome of girly girl and is very timid. She would never start shit and would never want it started with her.

I only beat the one up. I gave one a good elbow but in all honesty if the aforementioned redneck's didn't come out of nowhere to back me up i was fucked.

I don't think that's quite accurate... Of course there exists trouble makers in every walk of life (color, religion, etc..), that isn't disputed.. The issue is the % of trouble makers in these ethnicities, and I think it's safe to say there's quite a higher % amongst blacks... I'm just speaking from experience.. and also the prison population is overwhelmingly black if I recall correctly if that holds any weight in the issue.

Honestly man it could have been all girls bothering my niece and right or wrong I would have gotten physical. She is a really sweet girl and a total pacifist.

Again I want to mention I am in St Clairsville, Oh, about 10 minutes from Wheeling, WV. Sure there are a TON of white kid punks around here but none that get violent. They are just loud mouth smart asses. Also, I spent 10 years running adult bookstores that were located next to some of the US's worst projects, so believe me I know the difference.

Naaa.... white kids would never do anything like that :1orglaugh :1orglaugh


Please :upsidedow

He didn't say that; he later corrected himself and said that there is a higher percentage of blacks that are causing problems than white.

And I agree with him.

You can take the monkey out of the Jungle but you can't take the Jungle out of the Monkey !

On this note My son is a manager at a an AMC 24 screen theatre and he tells me that most of the problems they get are from white Russian gangs.

From starting fights to opening the back door so all their friends can get in for free etc...

aw shit man, that sucks... i'm glad you fucked that one guy up, all of those assholes do that shit because they think their numbers make them invincible

and to fuck w/ an 11 y/o girl, thats just pathetic

its sad... racism is so politically incorrect and the media has branded that in SOO many peoples heads that most good people feel its almost their DUTY to scapegoat a bunch of straight n1ggers

i grew up in san francisco, i've been jumped, jacked and burglarized by blacks... all blacks, no white kids, no mexicans, no asians

i remember one time, i was like 13 years old... walking up the street to the store to milk and bread.. and these 4 at least 16-17 year old nigs started fucking w/ me trying to go in my pockets calling me a white boy... of course i resisted and got hit in the chest pretty hard and they all ran laughing, what the fuck?

another time on haloween that same year, 7 n1gs put my jewish friend in the hospital after pounding and hitting him in the head with a broken broom stick, then fucking up my other mexican friends back with that same stick BUT letting my black friend go because he was black... and yes, he even said they told him "oh you black, its coo we want the white boys"

i can go on and on here

ever had your house broken into and rushed by 5 or 6 nigs with guns, you, your fucking mom & friends tied to chairs with duct tape while your house is ransacked?


sure i've gotten in fights with other races but it was all standard escalation and bs that usually leads to fights... but as far as seriously fucked up 'mob mentality' shit its like 10 and 0 for the n1ggers

mind you i'm half hispanic and half white, and believe me i know hispanics aren't all good and there are a lot of dirty spics out there... but again, the numbers dont lie and the minute you start with statistics you're an immediate closed minded racist to a lot of people

seriously, why the fuck do people try so hard to justify the actions of a bunch of classless n1ggers

they obviously haven't been through it enough to see the pattern for themselves.. i used to try so hard to want to be all for equality, but you can only get burned so much before you learn to stop playing with fire

and yeah, call me a racist, fuck it i dont care... but i guarantee you there are genuinely good black people out there that feel the same way as i do

and i know there is a difference

to each his own i suppose, but i've learned my lesson and know who i'll let into my home and FUCK YES i judge books by their cover - its human nature

They may have been punks, but punks come in all colors.

can happen just as easy with white, asian or hispanic kids :2 cents:


lets see - umm - you're an idiot.

you should have just called the police or sercuity.

what purpose did it serve to go back to the kids? did you teach them a lesson - NO - you made them madder and they will probally take revenge on some kid again to AVANGE this another day. - violence breads violence. PERIOD.

how easy would be for you to get knifed or shot in that situation? How did you even know for SURE it was the same kids if you didn't SEE it.

tough guys die violant deaths early. NOBODY wins every fight. NOBODY

if you stoped them in the ACT commiting violence on your family - yes - other than that GOD gave you a fucking brain - USE IT or are you too stupid to put a few words together to get yourself out of a situation that risked your life and your family's - and for WHAT?

in the end do you REALLY give a fuck what some stranger thinks of you?


everything I've read leads me to believe you're a hot head moron. :2 cents:

and one more thing, i was MADE into a "racist"... i didn't just wake up one day and say fuck / beware n1ggers

i got fucked by n1ggers and adapted. period.

blah you're a piece of shit with no loyalty to your family... i bet if someone fucked up your mother, knocked her over and stole her purse while you were walking down the street with her... you would pull out your cellphone and dial 911

your telling me in a situation like this, where a bunch of fuckers steal from an 11 year old little girl (add to that a relative) you would not feel one bit of emotion and responsibility to that girl?

i'll tell you, that little girl probably looks up to him as her hero right now... you would just be the guy that took her to the movies

idiot :2 cents:

no wonder you can't find a girl... a 6'5 and 300 pound sack of vagina is what you are

There is black people and there are hahahahahahas. And a lot of hahahahahahas are taking the spotlight off the black dudes wich are trying hard to incorporate themselves in the society.

Personally I'm racist to a certain excent. I don't hate any race but I'm not trusting any black guy before I knwo him

women like tall big men :2 cents:


makes em feel tiny

anyway i'm an idiot and i'm out, silver spoon babies that can afford to live outside of these areas and probably grew up RARELY having to deal w/ this shit always have some sort of "logical response"

i guarantee no matter what you say now, if you ever get put in a position like that you'd probably do the same thing

P.S. I agree with sleazy... security would have solved the problems.

P.S. 2 Jews, Italians and Irishs have all been considered like hahahahahahas. They stood up for themselves and helped built the society we are in instead of laying in self-pity. They are all respected nowdays.

i agree, you are right.


you are an idiot. :2 cents:

here's a note on black people. there are very few black people where i live - the 'ghetos' are mostly poor white and native american and they act very much like how you refer to poor black people in american cities, crime, violence, slum blds, etc.

the only black people till i was 25+ i knew made more money then me, had more education than me, or were better then me in some way, sports, money, etc. i was prejusticed against blacks - but the exact oposite of most of the USA, i thought they were all upper class people and i considered many my friends but till then every black guy i met i figgured was super successful and a nice person cause that was all i had ever met.

Women like tall big men with money

makes em feel financially secure.

:thumbsup

So if your niece had been harassed by white guys, would you now be wary of all white guys and call them the c-word (cracker)?

I take people as they are and don't blame individual wrongdoing on an entire race of people. Personally, I am wary of young males in a pack...PERIOD...whether black, white, Hispanic, or otherwise.

Historically, there were plenty of white men who raped slaves and other women of color. So should I now be racist toward all white men?

well its really fucked up but its more about some people that got no respect to anything and you can't do too much to change this.

For some reason I can understand &
appreciate that part :thumbsup

To the guy who had a bad night...

Im sorry man you & your loved 1
had to go through that.

But I dont think you made a positive
example for.

If she look up to you even more for
the decision you made she'll want this
in a man later on in life.

For any 1 who live & work in a bad
neighborhood. Relocate!

If you choose to stay in that enviroment
you have no reason to complain about it.

If I walk out in my back yard & see a big
pile of dog shit & decide to step into it I
shouldnt complain about my shoe stinking
afterwards.

Why not be distrusting of ALL people until you know them?

There are some sound reasons for racism. It is just political incorrect to say that.
The scientist already discovered some races just have more "criminal gene" than the others. The blacks tend to commit more crimes because the genes inside them. They are just like the Pit Bulls in the dog familiy, at the right place at the right time, their animal instincts would urge them to do some serious biting. Science and Stats do not lie.

That doesn't surprise me at all, which is why people need to stop looking at the skin color and begin looking at the culture.

Entitlement culture naturally breeds resentment and hate, and it is not limited to any skin color.

For Profits of Doom: Make yourself completely color blind and zero in on the culture the persons who made trouble for you and your family at the theatre. What were they wearing, doing, how were they speaking.. and I'll guess that they were not budding Barak Obamas. :1orglaugh I'll make a wild guess and say that the russian "gangs" mentioned here were not budding rocket scientists either.

There is a high value to education is that it reduces crime, but only when the culture one is raised in places a high value on education. Entitlement cultures do not place value on education. And I believe America has one of the worst entitlement cultures of any nation in the world. So much for so-called "capitalism," huh? :winkwink:

i for my part find every day a new reason for racism

true - skin color is meaningless in and of itself but when that skin color is attached to a culture that is dominated by the glorification of thugs and thug behaviour it's not surprising or wrong to mistrust, dislike, the members of that culture. there are many blacks who are embarassed and saddened by it all.

there are white knuckleheads but for anybody to say that the % of knuckleheads in white and black segments of society is burying their head in the sand.

poverty, no father figure, lack of education and the absense of hopes and dreams beyond delusional ones like making it to the NBA or a rap music career are what's responsible. i bet that if you just adjusted the numbers to black families with a working dad in the home that you'd see kids in those homes commit far less acts like the one described at the theater and worse ones.

i think the situation is hopeless - a small % of blacks rise above the conditions that they were born into but most don't or can't and history just keeps repeating itself generation after generation.

I think you did right to do SOMETHING, well done to you!

But it might not have been the best decision for reasons of your own safety. 8 on 1 are not good odds.

Oh and this is a glaring reminder to those that think BJJ is the shit... Multiple attackers and you CAN'T go taking people to the ground.

Done.

Anyways, good on ya for not letting them carry on with that shit!

But alas, culture isn't really tied to skin color -- case in point:

Oprah built an educational institution for girls in africa, this place rivals the rich white prep schools.

Here are some interesting points Oprah had to make about why she built the school for children in africa, instead of children in america:

Oprah also knows that some people will complain that charity should begin at home, even though she has provided millions of dollars to educate poor children in the United States, especially via her Oprah Winfrey Scholars Program. But she sees the two situations as entirely different. "Say what you will about the American educational system?it does work," she says. "If you are a child in the United States, you can get an education." And she doesn't think that American students?who, unlike Africans, go to school free of charge?appreciate what they have. "I became so frustrated with visiting inner-city schools that I just stopped going. The sense that you need to learn just isn't there," she says. "If you ask the kids what they want or need, they will say an iPod or some sneakers. In South Africa, they don't ask for money or toys. They ask for uniforms so they can go to school."

I think Oprah has this thing nailed. Entitlement culture kills brain cells, fast. :thumbsup

It's up to american parents to end the vicious cycle of entitlement culture from one generation to the next. Stop buying those sneakers, ipods, xboxes and invest in bookshelves. :2 cents:

Sleazy got owned in this thread, and owned hard.
