[paintbattler]

Fight him and show him what you are made of.

Yeah, just fight him. Get a hit in at least, again if you get your *** kicked, thats ok. Still got your dignity.

[WickeDKlowN]

I would say fight him. The way I am is if someone wants to fight, I'm gonna fight. I don't care if I get my arse handed to me, lol.

A nice punch to the jaw, kick to the gut(or balls depending on how much bigger they are, but thats just plain mean. lol) and a nice DDT of your choice usually work for me

Or you could be the "bigger man" and just ignore him... or something like that

Oh, and BTW, I don't think that the icon is racist. It's true, not everyone commit crimes/kill people(forgot which it said, lol) only a minority of people as a whole do. Not a specific race, color, religion, etc.

Do you actually know this person?

THUG RESPONSE: Tell him that 10 college kids have you back, and that we love a good drink and a better fight!

REAL WORLD RESPONSE: Fight him if you want, just make sure he throws the first punch. If you think you're gonna lose, then really try to get the crap beat out of you, same thing if a gang of them jumps you. It's a little thing called assualt charges.

Afterthought: There would be no such thing as racial(or any kind)profiling if it didn't work.

Don't lie about backup, and always throw the 1st punch if there's more than one guy.

[einhander619]

Hey, we'll back this kid up, 12 rugby players should be enough to provide "deterrence." But yeah, throw that first punch, just make sure you don't really mess him up, otherwise you could be paying the medical bills. Yes, this is the voice of experience speaking!

meh... its a stupid 50x50 pixel .gif animation for gods sake!

[Mossman]

Don't worry about it, go about your life and go to school for god's sake.

minority no = minor. Don't try and BS us :)

Also periods go after sentences, not question marks? yes? no. Very good? Of course! semicolon;

Shartly, you keep talking about not diverting the issue from the basic facts, but there's generally more than just the basic facts.

It's like saying 'The yankees won a lot of games last year, just because the statistics show it' When really the team is influenced by the players on the team, as well as the performance of other teams. You can't just look at things on the surface, you have to find a reason why in order to help it, not just add more cops and make more laws. Minority crime and violence might just be result of social problems and culture (ie. 'gangsters' and the american way of looking for the easy way out). The past dictates the future and with that in mind maybe you should look at the past instead of just stating basic facts, that are true but don't show the whole story. It's not making excuses, or justifying anything, just finding out why, and once you do that maybe you can do something about it.

Basic facts are just that, basic, they can't tell you every detail you'd like to know. Also, just because you were poor doesn't mean your situation was like every poor minority that ever turned to drugs or crime.

If your and african american then no offense but..most black people think that everthing is racist...Like if there was a WET (white entertainment television) it would be taken off the air not only because its initials are "WET" and white music is basically everything but rap but also because it would be "racism"

I wholeheartedly agree.

You should've seen what happened when these two kids at my school tried to start a "White Club" as opposed to the all-black "Ummojja club". They were not only given in school suspensions, but were also told that- get this - a white club would be racist!

For some background, white kids aren't allowed to join this "Ummojja Club", ridiculous huh?

Most likely he is all talk and is just trying to be "tough". Tell him to grow up and ask him what kind of guy fights little kids?

If all else fails kick him in the nuts and run away

[FreshmanBob]

Just a note, this post is going to be really long, just because I'm quoting a lot though

I don't see any evidence that there is such a mindset. Hell we have maximum security prisions, death penalties, court systems, all of which punish those for their actions, not blame it on society. By looking at the causes we can stop them. Do me a favor and look up statistics on the age groups of those in prision, generally young as well as poor and a minority. If we're talking young out of control minoritys, sitting down with the community and 'examining the problem and fixing it themselves' won't work. If a 19 year old works for 40 hours a week and can only get 250-300 bucks a week, or sell crack and get that much a day, or rob places, or burglarize will communities sitting down and talking about it stop that either? Government and community run programs can help, mainly before the mindset of stealing, selling drugs ect comes about, but not always with those who are already doing it. If you can get them an education and build hope in bettering themselves maybe it'll help.

There are so many programs set up to help folks that it would make most people sick to learn about them all. Yet crime still happens. And I have had first hand experience in the system, so my comments are not just coming from someone who sits in suburbia and watches TV, or reads books.

What programs? Can you show me some that might help the underprivlaged inner city stuff?

Agreed, that was dumb of the people involved, but it can sound racist. About your brother, that would happen if a much larger number of white people were in jail than minorities. Ideally, in a near perfect society (one with prision that is) the % of whatever race in jail should correspond to the % of that race in the population. We need to focus on the bigger problems. I'm not saying he's not important, it's just that this new trend only started in the last few decades.

This is not about being politically correct, this is about solving a problem that plagues our nation, but not others. Why should we do anything but state facts? If newton didn't just state facts we wouldn't have the law of gravity, if people just stated facts we wouldn't have airplanes, the wheel, sail boats, nuclear powerplants, ect. We must draw conclusions from those facts and find out what we can learn from them, that is what we've done for thousands of years, and it's how we adapt and better ourselves. The conclusions aren't always right, but they are eventually.
Also, how the hell are we acting like the criminals are the victems? They're in prison! Being butt raped and paying back their debt to society! How are we victimizing them?!

Don't think I disagreed with you about cops and laws here, but I'm not blaming it on other people. The criminals did the actions, they should pay for it. But maybe we can prevent others from making those mistakes by finding out why the criminals did it, what caused that.

Maybe they don't have control, do you think the parents of the criminals want their kids in there? Can you please show me some examples of the cultural groups playing victim?
