DarkAngelKamui 10-12-2005, 12:39 PM Hmmm.... lol
RoadRaceJosh 10-12-2005, 02:17 PM Reminds me of a joke or you might consider it a truism.
People in the North don't mind if Blacks get uppity as long as they don't live close by.
People in the South don't mind if Blacks live close as long as they don't get uppity.
DarkAngelKamui 10-12-2005, 02:37 PM Now that's funny AND true.... :rofl:
2ndGen.Rocket 10-12-2005, 03:39 PM That's so true. Blacks down here generally don't cause many problems. It's almost like they are worried that if they pull something, slavery's going to make an abrupt comeback.
AmishBoy 10-12-2005, 04:45 PM Most people from up north are trouble makers not just blacks. They come down here want to start unions and a bunch of crap. That is why the car companies up there are leaving.

jimlab 10-13-2005, 11:36 PM True story (except the dollar amount).
Scene: My cousin is in a KFC somewhere in the South...
Fat Black Woman: Let's see... give me a bucket of extra crispy, a bucket of original, a large coal slaw, two large mashed potatoes, a large macaroni salad, and twelve biscuits.
KFC Worker: That'll be fitty-five fitty-five. ($55.55 in white-folk talk)
KFC Worker: Is that for here or to go?
Fat Black Woman: Bitch, I ain't gonna eat it all myself!
KFC Worker: Bitch, I don't know how you live!!

2ndGen.Rocket 10-14-2005, 01:04 PM Damn. Speaking of ebonics, I was at work yesterday and heard this black couple come in and inquire about a mortgage. The dealer explained that they have to do a credit check and all that good stuff, and this was the man's response:
"Oh I ain't worried 'bout that none, I got good credicks"
The dealer sat there blank for a second, and then told the guy he'd be right back.
Apparently that's not the first time a black guy has come in and said "credicks" either. Pretty standard according to a couple of the employees.

Goddamn, that's just pathetic....
Then again, that IS a down south thing after all....
meddle 10-14-2005, 01:12 PM I'm a hero of the black people. It was only a $3000 fee, but I put a black female hurricane refugee to work yesterday.
DarkAngelKamui 10-14-2005, 01:16 PM Giving anyone work in time of need will give you "hero" status....
Unfortunately, most often then not, it'll end in termination due to bad attitudes and feelings that one "deserves" better from something handed to them....
Alex-7 10-14-2005, 01:19 PM I can't remember 100%
But I'm pretty damn shure I've never been able to get a black person financed on a car...

nahh I dug this chick. I uually work with distric managers for the company, but placed her as a cashier making $14.50. She was making 6.00 and hour in NOLA living in poverty. 23, no kids, decent credit, not on drugs. I'm glad I could help her out.
DarkAngelKamui 10-14-2005, 01:22 PM lol, eh... Not all that surprising, if true.... :dunno:
Meddle: Awesome... It give you warm fuzzies inside, too? :D

Sure does, that 3 grand is a gambling boozeing extavaganza to memphis and Tunica 1st weekend in november.
DarkAngelKamui 10-14-2005, 01:44 PM Figured as much... :rofl:
meddle 10-14-2005, 02:02 PM Figured as much... :rofl:
Nahh I am glad I helped her. She has been employed since 16 and never gotten anywhere. She's not very educated, but she has kept her nose clean and worked hard. 28k is a lot of money to her.
Ryosuke91t 10-14-2005, 02:32 PM That's a pretty good deal from where she was. And she gets free Chipotle.(All hurricane victims eat free at Chipotle.)
If you know of any Jazz musicians displaced, there are 3 different cities who want evacuees to play in their city. The have free room and board and gigs already lined up. Only about 20 or so musicians have taken them up on the offer.
