Yvette, very interesting so far, thx for sharing. I normally don’t respond till the end but this just screamed a response:
"When we moved to Florida, though, my new southern peers explained it to me in terms that sent me sobbing to my mother, asking her if my dad’s best friend knew he was black. Despite those ignorant euphemisms, I learned- or thought I learned- that what mattered was what a person looked like inside, not out."
Hello??? Is that not racist as hell, isn’t that what you say about ugly people??? Apparently she was racist way before she moved to this neighborhood and she learned it as a kid from her racist mother....And that’s just the first paragraphs! |

hmm...i think there is actually some truth to what she says although i believe she's overly-exaggerating things and looking past white peoples faults.
while i dont see parties going on everyday (especially early in the morning and at all times of the night) in my neighborhood there are kids who live right across the street from me who just sit out all day in front of the house doing pretty much nothing.
there are also kids who my brother hangs out with...none of them are in school(yet their mom claims to be homeschooling them) but they are always roaming the street.
and there are alot of instances where people just sit up and smoke weed right out in the open like they're not worried about anything. (although i do know that white kids are actually more likely to do drugs than anybody) you just dont see them doing it out in the open where everyone can see them.
and as far as the men getting too close and at times being way too foreward too soon i can completely relate to that as well.
still i beleive she's a racist to overlook what her own people do...there is nothing more out of control than a group of white folks at a baseball game, a rock concert or a party. i'm tlaking about people pulling down their pants and showing their ass, vandalizing cars with baseball bats, brutalizing animals...sticking their ass out of windows, binge drinking until they pass out. white folks even have vampire clubs where they go to parties and drink eachothers blood. not stereotyping because obviously not all white people do this but alot of this goes on amongst them.
has she watched girls gone wild? |

also,
ive lived at the same place for 22 years and our house has never been broken into...the only thing remotely close to a break-in we've had is when my dad use to put up Christmas lights... we had jealous negroes that would come by and snatch down the lights and break all of them when we left the house because my dad always decorated really nice for christmas....
after that happened 3 times he stopped decorating really elaborate and now we just wrap some lights around 1 tree |

She outright blames Blk ppl, and the behavior she ascribes to ALL Blks, for her racism and racist thoughts...when in reality she’s been a racist from childhood; and that's the part I don't like. But it's precisely what whites have been trying to do since the end of slavery. They want to make us believe that WE are the reason they are racist, that they're guilt free and it's not their racist thinking (from their upbringing) but our behavior and "inferior nature" that make them view us in racist ways. And sadly it's beginning to work. Blk scholars, clerics, educators, journalists, you name it, are now buying into it hook, line, & sinker. |

The woman is a glutton for punishment. If she can't stand the heat she should get out of the kitchen. Her staying there will not impact on racism one way or another. "Becky" should stop playing the martyr role and find another location that reflects the best of all worlds. She's WHITE. She can do this. |

This bytch is STUPID!!! One of those White ppl who feel justified of making racist comments by saying "Oh I have Black friends". "Or my neighbor is Black"!! Or I live in a Black neighborhood.
I'm reading this shyt and think this woman has NOTHING to complain about. Petty thefts, Black men looking at HER!! Neighbors playing there music too loud. That bytch is a RACIST!! And I'll bet some of you STUPID, plantation Negroes in here want to DEFEND her right???
Especially, you Bill Cosby followers.
Let that bytch get shot, stabbed, raped, and beaten a couple of times then she will see what REAL crime is.
She reminds me of some stupid, plantation-owning, wynch like Becky "aka" Moonsigns who is afraid to go into the fields out of fear of her husbands Negroes. And is conveniently "blind" to the cruelty, of what is really going on and claiming that her husband treats his Negroes "good".
F*ck that dumb bytch. That why I say "Don't trust no White folks"!! |

Well, my first thought was unprintable. My second thought was not much better: “Well, statistically, he’ll be dead soon.” Not quite the tolerance my mom and dad tried to teach me
what really got to me was this part....that's some evil shit to say about a little boy for stealing a damn scooter |

She's living in a shitty neighborhood, because she says she's poor, and "loves" her house. What an idiot. Why not move to Bensonhurst? Or if that's too greasy, try Montreal. The rent's cheap and the crime isn't too bad. |

Oh well....why would anyone even care what she thinks. It's her reality. Maybe she is having bad experiences with blacks. I don't personally know, do you...? Not saying I wish anything bad to happen to her but I could care less. If it's that bad, well....just move on.....
