[kermi3]

I don't touch girls who have been with black guys. If you guys want too then have at it but I see shit at a street level u can't even imagine and its a rule I don't bend or break for nobody.

Dude - I love you man, but that was one of the dumbest things you've ever said.

It's really not dude. I'm not down with STD's and black babies. To see how most of them live (not EVERYWHERE but this def applies to grand rapids) and to still be messing around with them is nasty as shit and im not taking any girl who sinks to that level.

[Mike]

Yeah cause white guys can't have STDs...

[Govtcheez]

fuckin poor people

[Mike]

literally

I'm not sayin they cant. I'm saying that it takes a lower class woman to fuck with these black guys. If you want to disagree and be ignorant thats fine, it's your life.

Dude it isn't like you are rolling in high society.  I'd be willing to beat there are black guys and gals in Michigan that would look down their noses at you and your low class.

If you want to draw the line at socio-economics then I'm cool with that.  But drawing the line at race, not so much.

[Govtcheez]

If you want to draw the line at socio-economics then I'm cool with that. 

For the most part, that's almost as wrongheaded as racism.

[Mike]

In a way I would agree with you.  However, our society is already divided up along those lines.  For example, do you go down to the slums to hang out?  What about the high society part?

I choose to no associate with people who engage in certain behavior that is often times attributed with ones economic status (position, level, class, not sure what would be a good word for it).

So I guess I am ok with someone saying they draw the line at avoiding those that engage in or associate with people who do drugs, have unprotected sex, don't get tested, etc.

Is it right?  Probably not.  Is it the world we live in?  Unfortunately so.

Duh! Everyone knows that being born with darker skin means you're a dirty fucking piece of scum*




*For avoidance of doubt that was sarcasm.

[kermi3]

The word (in social science) is socioeconomic status (SES), and for once, I agree with Mike.  Like it or not, there are plenty of examples of behaviors or attributes that are more commonly correlated with people of a higher or lower SES.  If you want to avoid people that engage in certain types of behavior that are more common at a certain SES group - and you choose to do it by avoiding the group...then so be it...but to draw that line solely at race is silliness.



edit: Not judging that it's right or wrong to avoid that group - just saying the idea doesn't make me go crazy

[Govtcheez]

I don't actively discriminate against people from lower socio-economic classes, though.  I don't often go to places in bad neighborhoods, but if there is something worth going to in one, I've never hesitated.  I've found a lot of good restaurants that way.

I probably do do it subconsciously, but I've never consciously said "that place in the ghetto, let's not go there" or "that guy's black, i'm afraid of him".  Living near Detroit, that would pretty much end any sort of social life I'd attempt to have.

[Steve]

I'm not saying all blacks are ghetto thugs and stuff, but its not like  am going to get names of each one and research them, so for the purposes of dating it is easier to explude them all.

[Govtcheez]

I think people from New Jersey should be excluded too, because you're from there and rick's from there and that's just too risky for me.

edit: sorry jen, we will never be together

...but that's exactly what you are saying
