    LMAO, do you somehow think reporting people for telling the truth is going to solve anything?
    You don't want to help American blacks. You want them to stay poor and decrepit so they vote liberal. You're an enabler, the real villain here. I have real criticism and solutions. What do you have?
    You want to report me like a good little Hitler Youth? Unreal.

        I think the problem is that you're afraid IT MIGHT BE TRUE but know nothing about what the hood is like.
        I'm not the only one that has experienced this. Do a Google search and you'll find a lot of similar stories that corroborate my experiences.

          OK, Internet cowboy, go to the hood and talk like that.
          I know for a FACT it isn't true. But the way you think, with your racist mindset, it might be true FOR YOU. If i was a Black guy and you ran your mouth like that, it's soon be standing on your head.

            Go look at the violent crime rates, test scores in a predominately African-American school and the homicide rate of Chicago, Baltimore, St. Louis or Detroit then come back here and tell me a with a straight face that the hood is such a great place to live.
            Ever been to Harlem? How about the Speedway on 122 W. 145th Street in NYC? That's a real hellhole there.
            You know for a fact it isn't true? That's hilarious, go look at the stats, go actually live or work in the hood and see how long a moron like you will survive. You will s-t your pants and run home to cry to mom.

                So, in that other post, you said that I couldn't intelligent put a sentence together properly, yet in this sentence here, you failed to capitalize the "I" here and didn't know that it's not "i been to Harlem.", it's "I've been to Harlem."
                I don't speak Ebonics in my part of town, dude. That's not the accepted grammatical standard in the United States.

                  Matter of fact, WTF are you doing in the hood, anyway, if that's how you feel? Buying dope? If you don't like black people, go someplace where there are none. Plenty exist, unless you're one of those moss gatherers that never leave the spot they were born in.
                  If you don't like Black folks LEAVE. Something tells me they won't miss you.

                    This entire post is a grammatical war crime.
                    BTW, I did mention that I worked there. Do you know what "work" is? You would if employers didn't throw away your resume because of the Ebonics you used to write it in.

                      Quit your job and go work somewhere else, moron.
                      Anytime something with a Black theme comes out you little bastards come crawling out of the woodwork. Get it straight, you're alone. No-one believes you nor wants to hear your bullsh!t.

                          I'm not ashamed of anything. But i will never call a cockroach like you anything like me. I think you are a racist piece of sh!t, frankly. And i don't need to write an essay to explain myself. You aren't worth it.

                              At this point, the black community in America can only improve if people are racist and tell you the truth.
                              Don't want to listen, keep wallowing in crap and see if anyone cares. You're a bunch of losers and trash.
                              Listen to this f@*king guy. Enjoy your 11$ dollar an hour job (if that) you f@*ing cavegoat.

                                  I think the problem is that you're afraid IT MIGHT BE TRUE
                                  I think your Crystal Ball has a crack in it. Might wanna get that looked at.

                                    You're not telling the truth, you're expressing your opinion on what you think the truth is. Opinion =/= truth.
                                    You're racist. You try to frame it as "honesty" and "real criticism" but it's your own personal prejudice and how you think that needs to be handled.
                                    Such a small, narrow mind you have.

                                      I've worked in the hood for years, in one of the most dangerous cities in America.
                                      Wanna come with me to work, you're more than welcome to.
                                      IMDB can delete my comments, but what I said was the truth. Go enjoy your Pringles in mommy's basement punk, I don't care. Can't hide from the truth forever.

                                        I don't have to hide from the truth. I lived in Harlem for 8 years. Just outside of Chicago's south side for another 5. Don't talk about how you "work in the hood" that's nothing.
                                        You don't know a thing.

                                          Yes, I do know. No one has to take your word for it, they can go down there themselves and see what goes on.
                                          I've talked to a lot of white people, suburbanites who work in the hood around these people. We don't even have to say much, we understand each other and how bad the people are down there. The ones that don't know are the ones who have never worked there or lived there. They believe all the baloney the media spews about blacks and how victimized they are. It pisses me off, it really does. It's all lies.
                                          I've actually been to Harlem. It's a hellhole. You're not fooling anyone because some people put up a couple nice buildings in the middle of a nasty slum. I wonder what's going to happen to some of these places when the bubble pops, places in Brooklyn, Long Island City and Harlem? Poor people have to live somewhere, there aren't enough trust funders to go around. Spots in Harlem may be nice, but my overall impression was to get the hell out ASAP.
