Why? Maybe, society’s refusal to talk about racism is one of the reasons it still exists.

LOL.

Off topic a bit, but the other day I heard this lady say “He was one that should have been flushed!” I couldn’t stop laughing.

exactly, racism sucks,

but, answer this.

If any one on this thread is walking through the east side of buffalo at 11pm at night and comes across two black skinned people, WHY DOES HE TRY TO AVOID THEM AT ALL COSTS?

Would you do the same if it was two white skinned people?

Self-preservation trumps political-correctness. Due to stereotypical behavior of poor blacks, I would feel uneasy in that situation. I may not be in real danger, but why take a risk. Now if those same two strangers on the east-side were white, but still looked shady (ex: filthy, poor, crazy, etc) or their appearance otherwise gave me some cause for concern, I would feel the same way.

I feel that it is only natural for people to feel most comfortable around others that they perceive are most similar to themselves.

I try to avoid the east side during the day, being there at night isn’t even an option I give myself.

:wtf:  
You sound a little surprised. Did you honestly think when you came onto NySpeed to tell us the new racial slur that you learned that it wasn’t going to blow up?

That’s pretty ignorant.

I was doing a ride-along a couple weeks ago with a buddy of mine that is a lieutenant for the Buffalo Fire Department and we were sitting in front of the Fire House at like 12:30 in the morning. I’m not going to lie it was a strange feeling to sit on the sidewalk that late in that area, it was cool though almost everybody that walked by and said hi. The firemen definitely get a different respect than I would just sitting there but it was cool. We also drove around and they showed me a lot of interesting streets that I would never have gone down myself. It was a very interesting experience. It was really slow though so I’m going to go back in August again.
