I dunno. I work down in K-town in the wilshire vermont area. I find the Koreans to be pretty open and hospitable.
Now the Japanese and the Chinese...they're the ones you have to watch. I have worries for them.
What I can't stand is that black people who walk around acting like ****ing retards, being rude to white people, asian people, latin people, etc are more tolerated. Like on the train, for instance, when some little thug gets on the train being loud and rude, everyone just looks at each other and raises an eyebrow like "he's black, what did you expect?" But if an asian or a white person or other acts that way, people are quick to make their observations about said behavior rather openly.
The only way it will stop is if blacks are treated like everyone else and the whole race crap is tossed aside like yesterday's paper...because really, it is yesterday's news.
I used to have some interactions with the Koreans in the South Bay area, Redondo Beach, Carson, Torrance, back when my wife's business was open.
Absolutely impossible to get more than the occasional sale in with those people. They referred to each other, and that was that. And since my step-daughter was half-black and we lived in a large apartment complex that was more than half-Korean (and immigrant and temporary resident Korean at that) I got to see first hand how they felt about this "racial tolerance" idea America has.
They weren't having none of it. That little girl played with the Iranians and the white kids, the Koreans wouldn't have anything to do with her.
You know, he could have lynched him, like white people way down south used to do to blacks all the time, if they wanted to vote.
That's wild. I have had such an amazingly different experience with the Koreans here and in other places. I had a roommate in college who was half Spanish and half Korean and she talked me into going to teach conversational English at a hagwan in Seoul for a short stint. I dunno, maybe since I have been immersed in their culture, I get along with them well.
Of all the Asian ethnicities, I find the Koreans to be the friendliest, most fun, and open to other races.
But not the Japanese. Oh never the Japanese.

You should analyze this statement and see if you really believe it.
What makes you think "ethnic" pride is positive ? Ever heard the term White Devil ?
Also, do you wonder why you chose the NAACP instead of the Black Panthers ? The Panthers make a much better parallel to the Klan, and not surprisingly, the had plenty of racism to accompany their pride.
I've heard similar arguments before but usually they are worded as in whites who show bigotry can do damage while ethnics that show bigotry can't as they lack the power to harm whites.
At this point I think anyone doing anything in a way that over emphasis skin color is a bigot whether their intentions are good are not.
It's like Spike Lee's Do The Right Thing movie. I never understood that movie. I understand looking after your own as long as your own is really your own and not just a skin color affiliation. Driving miles and miles to patronize a black shop solely because you prefer to do business with dark skinned peoples is bigotry. It's nothing to be proud of no matter how you attempt to justify your actions.
If the folks in the OP said they go out of their way to try to uplift the black community by making sure to spend some money within it -fine. But to go so far as to say you will only do business with blacks....indefensible.
This might be true in many instances. For example my brother likes to shop in little Hispanic grocery stores because they sell things he can't get at Thriftway.
But in regards to the OP the folks are buying from blacks because they are black. Driving long distances not for a certain product but instead to ensure their money is handed off to another black person vs a whitey or someone else.
It's bigotry. If a white man told me he only wants to patronize white shops I'd think he was a major racist tard. When the black folks do it I think the same damn thing no matter how they attempt to pretty up their ultimate intent.
I do not see anything wrong with people looking after each other from a cultural aspect and maybe if the WHITE man had not did what they did? Maybe black folks would not see the need to "buy black"..
Keep in mind it was not long ago that white men could buy black and it did not mean produce! White men could go sell and BUY Black people on a block. And you wanna get all mad cause black folks wish to support black biz? Give me a break!

That is the dumbest thing I've read in a while.
I think we have all just lost IQ points actually reading this.
It's called racial bigotry and I'm glad to know you support it.
Do you support business owners choosing who can and can not shop in their stores based on race?
If you really think this, why haven't you found a black-owned politics discussion board and empowered them? I mean, it's about Damn time!
Did you have anything to add to this or you just wanna attack me for keeping it real? :roll:
Yep.
Nothing racist in this post.
Just the usual it's okay to be racist against white people alive today because white people five hundred years ago didn't meet the morality standards of today's reverse racists.
I do not support racism in any shape or form. But I just cannot get into feeling all bad for the white man!! Cry me a frigging river for the White Man that still run things in this country.. Waaaa.. I want my bottle! Give me a break! :roll:
Because they stink? I don't have a problem with these people buying from local black businesses, but they sure are using a lot of gas to do it. :3oops: I guess this is okay with Obama, as long as they check their tire pressure. Heheh, j/k. :lol:
What are you really saying here? That you wish for me to go away from this board? Do not assume things about me and where I post online!
