JOGGING WHILE BLACK

[pyropappy]

I have remained in the neutral on this thread, but it is getting out of hand.

I grew up poor, white and with parents. The neighborhood I grew up in was overrun by inner city blacks in the late 1960's. I went to school every day with half the kids in school being black.

I can state this for a fact: the color of a person's skin has nothing to do with being trash. trash is trash, and it is a choice.

Are there racists, you bet, and they come in all colors and genders.

I can also state for a fact, the most racist group of people on this planet are the Scots and the Irish. In 1000 years, the Scots have traveled 6 counties in Ireland. They have been fighting the whole time.

I had the same opportunity that every kid in my hood had; the difference, I worked my ass off, studied, got educated, got a great job and made myself successful. The kids in my hood played basketball all day, did drugs and broke the law.

I got out, they didn't.

 The black kids I went to school with that did what I did are successful business men today, the others are dead, in jail or living in poverty. 

Life is easy in this country if you make the responsible choice. Blaming anything but your stupid choices is ludicrous.
