Of course I have lived in Winnipeg in the past and know all about the Indian Possies which are a large gang in Winnipeg and consist of mostly younger people not much older than 18. My Karate and Ninjitsu has played a role in keeping me alive. If you are nice to them, they will attack you and take your money or life. If you are instantly aggressive toward them, they run. You just better get out before they get backup. I was carrying home some beer from a vender late at night when approached by two of them sissies asking for my beer. I calmly took one out, smashed it on the bricks in front of the building and lunged at one of their throats, cutting them enough to give them the fear of god. They both ran away faster than iv'e seen anyone run. One time in Calgary, me and my ex got off the e-train somewhere in a bad area where we had to walk through abandoned lots. We were approached by 3 indians asking for money, one of them were too drunk to fight but the other two kept harrassing us. When one of them reached out for me, I broke his arm and he was screaming, the other guy was stunned and ran leaving the piece of shit in agony. Oh the good times.

White Pride

That stuff doesnt really have any humour, but it was really funny when they made a dummy who was white then they beat it up and burnt it. Well the comment were funny atleast.Dave Chapelle later made a parody of it, he dressed up like the KKK etc.OH i wish they brought his show back
-
In Canada we have AFT.Its the same concept but with alot alot of swearing!Ex. " White **** ** and ***** With **** **** *** *** *****" You get the point lol
-
that sounds nice
-
Does it play the non-funny sitcoms too?
-
Kinda like those, stuff that actually No One found funny( not even me and i laught at everything lol)They play new stuff now. Like Tyler Perry's House of Pain and I think 'Girlfriend' Both which are unfunny unless your on drugs.
-
OOoohhh Did you know they are making a Black version of Sex and the City!? I was just actually flipping through some Media Guide. Coming out Next Fall in 2007 or so.They have another show that has that fat cow from House of Pain in it. God she is so annoying!!

Iv never been to detroit, but Iv been all over cali, LA, SF, beverly Hills, Hollywood. and i walked thru New york for a few days.Most of my trips have been alone.I was harrassed every place Iv been. I t had nothing ot do with what color skin I have.Some people didnt like my Redwings hat, some didnt like my tattoos, some thought they could rob me, some didnt like that I didnt have a texas accent, or that i was smoking while standing at the tallest cross west of the mississippi river. There are all sorts of reasons to be fucked with, in all the cases Iv been in of itf, it had nothing to do with my color, but did have to do with being different.That wasnt true in East St Louis though, I as threatened several times because i was white, it came down to the girl i was with was white an she could stay in the various bars we were hitting I wasnt welcome because I was white, and had a dick between my legs.over all I think I fared better in my travels thena black man would have. maybe not in ESL, but everyplace else i was.

What you talkin bout Kristal? lol I watch BET because my boo Bow wow and Chris Brown were on there... SEXII! lol I think every age group watches it... and it varies from race. I went to my friends house (she's sort of the valley girl type "like omg I saw eric at the movies and he was like with that ugly whore" lol stuff like that. I love her) and her brothers were watching little Jon's video "Snap Ya Fingas". And dancing. They could dance. And I joined in too lol. The song is stupid and Lil Jon is ugly but the beat was hott lol
-
OK, I guess I kinda started the discussion in the other thread, so its time for me to put my two cents in now. Steve, I feel you are making the exact points I was trying to get Damien to see. Reminds me of one of my favorite books, Race Matters, Cornel West, Its an interesting look at race relations.
And Kristal, I thought for a second I was the only one who is not entertained by BET. I mean come on, its insulting- all they air is videos and sitcom re-runs. Hardly entertaining for more than a few minutes. -
In reply to:He didn't mean the U.S. civil rights leader. He meant the person who started the reformation movement in Europe 500 years ago.LOL. ahhhhhhhhh mind block.

In reply to:One Indian Nation dealing with the negative effects of alcohol is the Oglala Lakota Nation located on the Pine Ridge Indian reservation in Southwest South Dakota. Pine Ridge lies within Shannon County, the poorest county in the United States. The reservation has a population in excess of 7000 people. The unemployment rate is 75% - 80%, while the national unemployment rate averages around 5%. The lack of jobs and the desire to drink opens the lid on a can filled with other social problems, among them assault, robbery, prostitution, and murder. Since the Siege at Wounded Knee in 1973 there have been in excess of 95 murderers, almost all of them still unsolved, and other crimes mostly burglaries are at an all time high. Though the people that drink often use government issued checks to purchase alcohol, in some cases it's not enough money. The first of each month has been nicknamed Veterans Day, when the Veterans receive their checks, and the second of each month called Mothers Day, when mothers receive their support checks.Is the problem race relatede, I think so.>>>"Is the problem race relatede, I think so."Think again. What you have just described is the result of a socio-economic condition. The problem is a result of cruel poverty, not race. And for that matter, cruel poverty is generally a symptom of bigoted racial or class discrimination.Poverty has the same effect on all people regardless of race or location on the globe. The slums, ghettos and impoverished communities are the same in Shanghai, in Moscow, in Paris, in L.A. and in Winnipeg. All have high unemployment, high amounts of substance abuse, high crime, poor educational opportunities, poor health and poor living conditions. The only difference is the languages spoken.Poverty is your culprit. Cruel poverty can turn all men, regardless of race, into heinous things. Even the blessed Anglo will fall victim to the traps of poverty. You need look no further the nearest "white trash" community and you will see all of what you described in your post of the NDN ghetto.In the U.S., there is one other difference in the minority ghetto and the "white trash" ghetto and that's perception. When a white man sees a "white trash" community (from a removed position) he calls Jeff Foxworthy or Larry the Cable Guy and jokes are made and everyone laughs together at the impoverished lazy ignorance of Cletus and his community. When a white man sees a minority ghetto he calls the media or his local politician and sonorous statements of fear and disgust fill the airways and like clock work, Yolanda (or any other minority name) is paraded in front of our screens with her fat welfare checks and dozen kids and society grimaces with malice.So maybe you have a point. Maybe the problem is somewhat race related...just not in the way you think.

"...but I don't think it's so fair that there is a B.E.T. channel...but if there was a "W.E.T." channel..."There is, or was anyway. I don't know if it's still around but it was called the Nashville Network. The programming was exactly on par with B.E.T. - Take that as you like. I doubt you could get any whiter the good ole Nashville Network unless it's maybe The Blue Collar Comedy Tour.

Trailer trash, Cletus and Jerry Springer. The Simpsons show the true nature of the U.S. folk. Ha Ha Ha and Jerry Springer shows just how stupid some of the folk are. I slept with ma mama an now I em sleepin with yar shister. Those are funny episodes. Better scrape them roadkill of the pavement, thars good eatin tonight.
-
I refuse to be lumped in with the simpsons, Im not animate, Im not ffat, I dont even eat donuts, my womans hair doesnt stand 2 inches tall let alone 48 inches.My kids dont stay ten years old forever. bart has been 10 for atleast 15 years I know of with out even thinking about it. never once has an alien invasion been thwarted by my son and his skateboard and while Ill admit my local law enforcement is alot lik chief wiggam, Im still not a simpson.The statement that they represent the majority of the US population is an assinine statement.The only time I have ever seen the folks from jerry springer was in teh mid west.I swera to fucking god, the wagons headed west from the coast, some broke down there and they were too dumb to fix them so lived there, the smarter ones headed west.Iv only found intelligence here further east, and further west, of the midwest.

You demonstrate the point.
When Cletus is the one that fakes the injury to collect disability, or JR is cooking meth on the hill behind the trailer, or Bubba breaks in a house because he has to steal to get some drinking money, or Cooter abandons his five kids and refuses to pay child support, or Mama lets the kids go hungry because she needs the money for beer and cigarettes, or when Misty Dawn starts turning tricks thinking she'll put herself through beauty school, all that is funny. It's not portrayed as cost to society. It's all made into a big happy joke that everybody laughs at.
However, when its a minority, it disgusting, expensive and wasteful, dangerous and scary, and finally, just goes to prove the inferiority of the minority race.
Why the double standard.

You're talking about the media. What makes anybody think the stinking media is an accurate cross-section of anything or anybody?Hey...we don't stereotype...we've got somebody to do that for us!
-
take that as I like ?I take that as a slam on two networks that i have no use for, so i take it as a funny thing to say and be repeated anytime I hear some asshole bring up that argument.as to blule collar, I like the standup, or atleast most of it, especially that of Ron White. its that fucking blue collar tv show that I find so fucking stupid. maybe thats why i like White the best, hes not associated with that.befor anyone jumps in on whites name and how it goes to show blah blah blah, iv known a guy since highschool, whos name is white, They came here from Guam in th early 80's.never been real sure why they got the name white to begin with, but they ar far from being white.as ones name was john, it was a comon thing when he was around to say something about going down the hall and to the white to use th john.dont boo or hiss me fuckers ! we were young, and smoke enough weed dialy to stone an entire sunday school, when your high everything is funny, including our lame attempt at humor on our buddies name.
-
I never said it was accurate. However, I think, most popular media is a reflection of the society it panders to. Most people who listen to Rush Limbaugh would not be caught dead listening to David Brancaccio and vis versa. People tend to seek out those that tell them what they want to hear.

Your initial post makes perfect sesne, except this line...
In reply to:
To me, the idea of white pride and black pride are both silly, although the latter is far more understandable
Why on earth is black pride more understandbale than white pride? There isnt no race or ethnicity on earth that hasnt been through hell at some point in the course of human existance, while at other times having great cultural achievments.
