If you read the last page or so...Things have improved immensely, though I was totally vouching for its closure on page 3 or 4.
im surprised this trainwreck hasn't been closed yet
actually i was talkin about black sterotypes.i was sayin people dont mess around wit me since im black,and that must mean im automatically in a gang,or imma pull a gun on em or somethin along those lines haha,so people tend to steer clearYeah, the whiteboy snitch stereotype is very well-represented unfortunately. I've been set up by people of both races, but there is somewhat more eagerness to talk to the police among the low-melanin crowd. I've been known to beat someone because I saw that they moved recklessly or I knew they would narc without hesitation. If some weasly punk wouldn't take no for answer and they texted me with something incriminating, or I just got a bad feeling in my gut, I would do us both a favor and substitute a safe legal substance like aspirin. If they were white, I would play on their own prejudice and say I got beat by some black dude. I'm not trying to sound hard, but I'm just giving an example of how in the drug game things are not always as simple as Economics 101 and sometimes even getting beat has nothing to do with money or "because I'm white." Take it from a caucasian who knows a thing or two. It has more to do with "I have snitch written all over my forehead, and I shouldn't be doing drugs anyway if I have such a great life and think that I deserve to live more than the next guy."
I think what's causing the heat in this thread is obvious.
Lacey seems to be fairly caught up in the drug world, and Vortex seems to be a bit of an outsider. IMO, Lacey's reactions to Vortex's posts are analogous, for example, to how certain religious groups get hot under the collar when outsiders make fun of their beliefs.
The reason theres so many people on here who is in support of it is becuz this site is 99% white ppl and apparently they think that their own world n rules is the only ones that are worth a shit. Id love to see anyone of them come down to paterson or newark with that attitude and proudly snitch like it aint no thing the way they claim they would on here.
As far as I can see, she shouldn't be a mod and from the looks of things, claire or someone else should actually fill the position, because not only does claire appear equally as knowledgeable in the drug world, she's also respectful and upholds the rules, even told someone off for continually attacking me. That's what mods are supposed to do, state your opinion, yeah sure, even debate like claire was, but keep things under control at the same time.

Exactly. I dont go to these neighborhoods because I dont like the people, not because I'm scared of them or because they're so big and bad as lacey seems to think 8)vortex30 said:Actually, I didn't say ANYTHING about her beliefs, she is stomping on my beliefs, not the other way around. Her beliefs, in fact, I state respect for in my first post, so I don't know what her problem is and why she's all like, "Ohhh, come 'round my neighborhood and see how you do." Cool. I avoid the ghetto for obvious reasons, not related to snitching but more to avoid the low-life scum that tend to be more densely populated in those parts.
Lacey, seriously, I'm not trying to start another fight and I'm not flaming but dont be racist.lacey k said:The reason theres so many people on here who is in support of it is becuz this site is 99% white ppl and apparently they think that their own world n rules is the only ones that are worth a shit.

Another funny thing is you probably wouldn't last a second in my rich-suburban areas either, the cops would be all over you in seconds, and yes, it would be because you're black and would stand out as a 'gangsta ghetto' girl. You can have your rules where you live, we'll stick to ours (and stay the fuck out of your area), and the society will work as it has for a while now.
Haha,fail.Lacey is white.

also ROFL at a newbie reccomending a newbie for modship
I think she was trying to say that white people are more likely to snitch than the black community, she wasn't putting down whites (she is white!) just pointing out that whites are often more intimidated by police, also more likely to try and weasel their way out of legal troubles by naming names. I haven't seen any statistics to prove this, but it sounds just about right to me. Of course there are exceptions to this, but lacey has a point.Lacey, seriously, I'm not trying to start another fight and I'm not flaming but dont be racist.
If you're out of ideas and arguments already that's fine just leave this thread alone, but dont drag race into this as you dont know what the hell you're talking about.
You dont think there are rats in the "ghetto"? I know there are many in my city. How do you think these "rats" get info about those in the ghetto to begin with? Because many of them live there.clair said:Can you honestly not see why she would be saying that though? You may think the ghetto is full of " low-life scum" but rats are seen as the lowest of all lows
This is not relevant at all. A 5 year old does not understand why he or she hates something.clair said:Even 5 year olds hate rats
Now were just going in circles. You made this point before.clair said:What is the point of getting somebody in trouble who has provided you with a service, illegal or legal? You just don't get someone else in trouble because it suits you and you have something to gain. Maybe they are drug dealing to save up for university or something, did you ever stop to think that maybe it might ruin their lives too? Ratting is just supreme selfishness, that is why lacey is getting so mad because it truly is NOT tolerated
I know exactly what she was trying to say and it's absurd. This is not a race issue in any way.clair said:I think she was trying to say that white people are more likely to snitch than the black community, she wasn't putting down whites (she is white!) just pointing out that whites are often more intimidated by police, also more likely to try and weasel their way out of legal troubles by naming names.

Of course there are, there are rats everywhere. But I'd say basically they rat because the other dealer may be 'competition' - not because they are caught and rat out their dealer for a reduced charge. In the grade of the drug scene from where I am - it is rare. They deal with eachother personally, nobody rats out to the cops. I am not 100% sure about the Ghetto, because I am not affiliated with that scene, it doesn't really exist around here, so don't quote me on the above.You dont think there are rats in the "ghetto"?

If you feel rats are scum than this would support what vortex was saying.
Fair enough. Every city's different and I can only speak from what I've witnessed in my area.Of course there are, there are rats everywhere.

5 yr olds aren't as dumb as you'd like to think. They dislike rats because it gets them into trouble, because the other person told on them. They aren't brainless twats, it is basically instinct to dislike it when somebody else gets you in trouble (especially for their own personal gain..)
Lacey is white.
Can you honestly not see why she would be saying that though? You may think the ghetto is full of " low-life scum" but rats are seen as the lowest of all lows. Nobody tolerates a rat, never! Even little kids in the school yard get teased if they "dob" on someone, do you see where this is going? Even 5 year olds hate rats. What is the point of getting somebody in trouble who has provided you with a service, illegal or legal? You just don't get someone else in trouble because it suits you and you have something to gain. Maybe they are drug dealing to save up for university or something, did you ever stop to think that maybe it might ruin their lives too? Ratting is just supreme selfishness, that is why lacey is getting so mad because it truly is NOT tolerated. Maybe she didn't handle it 100% correctly but calling where she lives "populated with low-life scum" is not going to get YOU anywhere.

Actually since you're just regurgitating the previous pages maybe you should stay out of this thread. Please read the entire thing and reply only if you have some new ideas.Perhaps it would be wiser to keep your nose and your opinion out of this thread?![]()
