I never said Getto. I said "Gangsta' and when you talk normal to one guy of the same color next to me like a eductaed man. But then talk disrespectful, snoop dog tone, and threatening to me or the white nurses only, yes their is a clear issue. Petty one, but still a clear present issue.
Im not sure what position you think you have for this to be ok. I mean... wow.
Fizz, I am not saying that you don't have a point (I was talking with a friend of mine the other day who told me about how he perceives double standards against whites in society, so if that's your point, that's fair), but I don't see how this particular example proves it? I think you're just being a bit sensitive with this one. Do you know how many white people I've had assume that I'm the "ghetto/street" type, even though I don't even dress/talk in a way that even could possibly give them that impression? None of these people were really "bad" people (they were more like the liberal type that Juiceboks described) and meant it in a demeaning/bad way, but some of them had many examples of having stereotypical views of blacks. Again, not saying that you don't have a point (and maybe your point was just about double standards in current American culture), I'm just saying, this particular example you gave wasn't really a good one to prove it imo. In terms of double standards, you also have to keep in mind that there are double standards against blacks, too, as there are with other races, and have more to do with perceptions imo (which was the point of the example I gave).
And I don't mean this in a rhetorical sense, but what do you mean "talking gangsta?" Like what did he say, the "n-word", because a lot of people (even hispanic, asian, and white) these days say that? Was he just rude or something?
