"Facade of superiority?" And please what are these "Facts" you speak of?

The fact that you hold the people of PG to a higher standard than you hold to yourself and the community around you?

Yes, that is a fact.

The words "Just as long as we are not pretending.." is not an accusation. Maybe I wasnt clear to say. "Yeah, thats fine you speak your observation."

I've been on metro a year less than you, and I am not offended, and I never called you racist. I also have never seen a afro american kid etc or caucasian kid stealing anything.

Whats funny is that the term negro, black, colored, African American are all terms given by whites and or caucasians.

If you have a problem with one of the phrases I use to describe my race with, you really have a problem with the way my people used to be seen through white and or caucasian eyes. With that said Negro is not the comparsion of Caucasian, I dont use Negro to be formal or PC. i do it to identify a class of people that doesnt always like to be called black.

Not to long ago when I was in grade school I remember doing the same thing. Running from one end of the school to the other just because I heard a whisper of a fight.

I think we all did it as children, the only difference we didn't have cameras to record our idiocy and suffer for it later.

By that logic all Americans should be punished for the war crimes of George Bush. He was OUR president and even if we didn't get involved we still live in America.

By that logic this blog should be deemed racist because of few in the community here are racist and everyone here has failed for not getting involved and stopping bigoted racial undertones.

More rider accountability among users would be great. A grass roots effort is in order.

Yeah, thats fine you speak your observation.

Just as long as we are not pretending that Negroes are the only ones running scams on metro. That whole 'its all their fault' line is stale. Pretending that whites do no evil. I've seen whites run scams that involve a piece of paper they have you read with a picture as they ask for money. I've also seen the one described above.

So in that way my experience is different and a bit more expansive than yours.

I do. Its better than the way some "blacks" refer to themselves. And its hell of alot better than some of the names posters around here use to refer to Negros.

Thats not truth, its just another distracting racially charged comment.

Comments like that take the focus away from the dangers and ills of metro and just allow white riders to vent their frustration of Negros.

disrespectful, and distasteful comments like that are liken to the behavior that some on here come and rant against.
