American ghettos are nothing like the canadian ones.
People say they all want the truth, but when they are confronted with a truth that disagrees with them, they balk at it as if it were an unwanted zombie apocalypse come to destroy civilization.
Don't be coy, how are they different? I stayed for a few months in Newark, Ohio and as a white guy I was less worried than my black friends. If they wore the wrong color they'd get jumped or worse, nobody has ever assumed me to be in a gang. Gotta be shitty having to worry about shit like that, one of my friends who was a real stand-up guy got jumped for wearing the wrong colors and the dude wasn't ganged up.

I find this true of Black Canadians meaning the ethno-cultural group of Black people who have lived in Canada since the underground railroad times, but with the Caribbean Blacks who have recently moved here they seem to gravitate towards the "ghetto" culture even when they grow up middle class in the suburbs. My best friend in high school was half Jamaican half Polish and he was a prime example. I would always make fun of him for it.
I have spent a decent amount of time in Brazil, travelled a lot of the country, stayed in a few ghetto-y places
There are LOTS of black people there but I never sensed any of the same racial tension as what supposedly comes out of the US. Any cultural divide between black/brown/white is rather blurred.
Yes the upper class rich Brasilians are likely mostly white & there is likely still racism in the class system/structure... but imo a big part of the problem in the US is MEDIA; black neighborhoods are kept poor and full of drugs/shitty schools, and the only black 'heroes' that the mainstream entertainment and media provides are usually idiots promoting stupid behavior or violence. What can you expect when a whole sub-culture is so deeply manipulated?
In Brazil, at least on the media there is more respect for black characters, and less stereotype.
Many are cherished, especially as musicians etc - brazilians love their brown skin its part of the cultural beauty I find.
This suggests a counter-argument to HA in his apparent opinion that the issues are more nature than nurture. Most racial problems in the US imho are manufactured from the combination of poverty + media cultural programming

He's just doing a bit.
Don't be a cuckold. OK man, I'll try not to be a cuckold.
Whatever. It's so over the top I just stopped paying attention.

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

I'll reiterate what I said to Benwahwah on FB, I find people hiding behind alts and shit like that pathetic. Wouldn't do it. As for me and HA being the same person? Really Canuckster?

Guess who knows his password? I think he's changed it now though, it's a shame you started posting so late at 333.com or you wouldn't be as suspicious toward me.
