Student killed trading iPad for 20bags of Heroin

[trychomes]

is there a reference source for these afro-am first names or do the disenfranchised ghetto folk pick them out of thin air.

somehow none of the black men and women that i have associated or soldiered with had whimsical first names. it seems that the phenomena is less than 3 decades old.

my surname is a slave name but my given is an old, common one with germanic roots.

a boy named sue indeed would be a preferable handle compared to some of these Ebonic ones.

Regarding the African names being a recent phenomena-- it started in the '70's with the whole getting back to African roots thing. Black panthers and all that...

more specifically they're Swahili names

http://babynamesworld.parentsconnect.com/swahili-names.html

Na, they aint. Swahili aint a "more specific" form of arabic, LOL yo. Theres arabic names, and theres swahili names, but they aint the same thing.

Some names , like when you see "jamal" "kareem" "malik" "aaisha/ayesha" "Aaliyah" "rasheed" are Arabic.

Some names is swahili, yea, but you are def. missin my point here. And the majority of "black" names AINT swahili, its just ONE language they speak in africa, thats like sayin that 'european names are french" or some shit.

Anyways...a lot of names that SOUNDS like the arabic names that aint quite, like LaTisha, etc, got obvious roots in the "real" 8( names anyways, they aint just made by pullin some sounds out of a hat and puttin em together.

The reason you see it mostly since the 70s is cuz thats when a bigger number of black folks stopped only namin their kids to try to "sound white" and started takin pride in their heritage and "black is beautiful" got some play (which btw was long overdue.)

It aint like people just makin shit up outa thin air most of the times. but yo, even if they was, who cares? Is there somethin wrong with a girl who wants to name her baby somethin that sounds beautiful to her? If she likes the sound of "nae" and "sh" she cant name her baby Tanaysha? who gives a fuck?

The thing that always get me laughin about the folks who hate on "black" names is that I think most of them names sound way nicer than most of the "white" names anyways. I rather have my name be Nakisha than Emily or Anne or some shit like that, real talk. Most of the names people be clownin on are beautiful names that roll off the tongue and sound good and got some style to them and people laugh at em on that ignorant shit about how black folks just "make up" names. Shits old yo, people been talkin that crap since Reagan was president, takin shit about the 'welfare queens" and all that, this is 2011 yall, we got all kind of people livin in this world and country so why people gotta still talk about that I cant understand.

Believe what you want but I'm not going to reveal my location on here beings it's a site about something that's illegal, sorry.

Oh, Hahah, gimme a fuckin break yo! Nice cop out. Ill tell you all day fuckin long the city Im from cuz I know aint nobody gonna fuckin find my ass from tellin the general area. Nobody askin you to give your address on here. BrxnStax is on here all day talkin about shootin dope and shit like that and he not only tellin you the city hes in but the PART of the city and nobody busted down his door to lock him up yet. Thats a weak-ass excuse yo, i cant believe you even said that shit, lol.

I never said that I was racist, I said that it's hard not to be when you keep seeing news articles like the original post.

No, it aint hard not to be racist when you see shit like this. Becuz ONLY A RACIST WOULD PUT THOSE CRIMES ON BLACK PPL AS A WHOLE INSTEAD OF ON THE INDIVIDUAL WHO DID EM like you did. Only a racist would read that shit and be like "damn, i sure see a lotta black folks in the news who did crimes, and thats a reason to have bad feelings towards black folks." Nobody else even reads this article and THINKS that its a valid reason to hate on black ppl.

You wana know how else you outed yourself as a racist with that post? becuz a normal-ass person wouldnt read this shit and the FIRST fuckin thing that comes to their mind is somethin race related. Regular folks see that shit and be like yo, wow, sucks for that kid tradin his ipad, or watever, but a racist sees that shit and the FIRST mutha fukin thing that he thinks is somethin about the dudes bein black. like you did.

You cant even hide it yo, your prejudice is like oozin out of every pore, in every crack in your logic that you try to plug up with some bullshit, it just keeps seepin out makin itself known, quit frontin and just own up to the fact that you a prejudiced, ignorant muh fucka and Ill give you more credit than somebody hidin behind a bunch of bullshit-ass excuses and swearin up and down that he aint somethin that its clear to see he is.

 

[latentdelusion]

Shoot. Haven't been on BL for ages.

I live ~5 minutes from where the shooting happened. The Rocks has become a shitty place. Wasn't this bad until some of Pittsburgh's public schools were shut down. That happened and the neighborhood went to shit.

My car gets broken into about once a month. House has been burglarized twice (broken windows, etc.) Bunch of fuckin junkies on my street. >.<

 

[The Rock Monster]

Khadijah i agree with you about black folks names. Lots a beautiful "hood" names. Tavia is my fav


Today on news i saw this racist study by some bitter white boys and they was sayin black women is least attractive of all races. Yo those fools must not have decent vision because black is beautiful and thats foreal. Idk how anyone could hate on black women like that..maybe those whiteboys is intimidated by black ladies?

Racism is plain stupid, were all human beings here.

Funny, one of the first things I read on here said something about being careful revealing personal info and such. If I wish to be anonymous on here it's my choice, yo. As a mod I would think you would understand that.

Didn't someone else in this thread make a racial slur? No one even said anything about that. But let me try to make myself clear for hopefully the last time. I DONT HATE BLACK PEOPLE, BUT AS A WHITE PERSON IT'S HARD TO REMAIN UNBIASED WHEN CRIME AFTER CRIME AGAINST WHITES IS BEING DONE BY THE SAME MINORITY. That's just my personal observation. If you want to take that as I hate all black people then that's your problem.

You cant even hide it yo, your prejudice is like oozin out of every pore, in every crack in your logic that you try to plug up with some bullshit, it just keeps seepin out makin itself known, quit frontin and just own up to the fact that you a prejudiced, ignorant muh fucka and Ill give you more credit than somebody hidin behind a bunch of bullshit-ass excuses and swearin up and down that he aint somethin that its clear to see he is.

You're right, the dude who has black, mexican and native american friends is just one big ignorant racist muh fucka. Seig Heil! 8)

 

[nuttynutskin]

SMDH at all these white folks who think they know the fuckin deal and talk so easy from their nice position about how anybody can do wat they did. "*I* made it to college withot joinin a gang or sellin dope, why cant THEY!" And honestly cant understand that shit.

I hear people talking like that sometimes.
It shows that they are at the lowest level of compassion - unable to open up their hearts to anyone else (though I suspect that, if they themselves do something wrong, they will expect those in power to bend the rules for them).

So anyone who's underpriveledged should think that joining a gang and selling drugs is the only way to make it? Yea that's a great message. What about robbing people? They were poor so why shouldn't robbing people be ok? 8)

 

[The Rock Monster]

Yo mr 38 posts, do you mean that you are biased to black folks? Whats that mean? Anyways people living in low income sections tend to commit crime..because its either that, playin ball or rappin, aint much business oppurtinity in the hood fool. People do what they gotta do, thats why theres crime. Peoples tryin to make it by. Dont u know?*??

Many Blacks in the US (and elsewhere) are clearly at a major socioeconomic disadvantage.
However, I wonder if some people are confusing "Black" and "poor" in this thread.
Dirt-poor Whites are at similar levels (though the specifics may differ) of disadvantage to slightly wealthier Blacks (say, the middle of the bottom socioeconomic class).
Basically, one's skin color can cause X amount of bias and disadvantage.
One's economic status can cause Y amount.
Other factors also exist.
Dirt-poor Whites have it bad.
Dirt-poor Blacks have it worse.
Dirt-poor Black women have it even worse.
Alter-abled, lesbian socialist dirt-poor older Black women have it the worst of just about anyone.
Each factor that differs from that of rich, healthy, young, Republican White males adds up, sadly...

This is not so much of a contest, I think, as much as a reminder that many, many people are disadvantaged in the world today.

Well put. I might just add that a person's background doesn't always dictate how they'll end up. I'm from an upper middle class white family, but I've been unemployed all my life, have no qualifications, and so on. I'm a minority due to many socio-economic factors. These days I identify far more with the "underclass" of society than the middle class I was raised in.

Man, nuttynutskin, the shit you talkin is pretty easy for white folks to say.

You're making some pretty big generalisations here too.

White doesn't equal rich or advantaged or whatever, so don't dump us all in the same basket.

I don't think your getting the point. I have black family members, black friends, Arab friends, etc. Since i come from a sorta i guess you'd call it lower middle class background myself i notice alot of the same things going on to some extent in their gangs as our own and where i lived it was all white people of Irish origin mostly who drank alot, did coke both snorted and IVed and rocked it up, opiates and benzos. Some people did meth but that was rarer.

Many friends i grew up with have done time, are doing time, are dead, the walking dead, etc. It's not a white or black or whatever issue as Ive seen this kinda shit all over.

Aw shit watch out yall, here comes the "I AIN'T RACIST MY BEST FRIEND IS BLACK!" arguement. Haha I knew you was goin to play that card soon I could tell you was easin towards it, come on mufucka my best friend(s) is black, and he/they would smack the shit out of me if I was sayin some shit like "Yeah, seein black people in the newspaper makes it hard not to be racist!"

Funny, one of the first things I read on here said something about being careful revealing personal info and such. If I wish to be anonymous on here it's my choice, yo. As a mod I would think you would understand that.

Don't try to act like you aint racist now yo. You might as well stand by ya beliefs. At least keep it real. And now you tryin to even say yo like that shit is natural. And don't be tryna bold "yet" like it's bout to happen to me, if the feds come kickin in my door tonight I think the least I got to worry about is some shit I said on the internet so fuck it.

Didn't someone else in this thread make a racial slur?

Yeah, but he ain't give us the entertainment of goin back and forth feel me? And his shit got edited which made it easier to ignore for real.

That's just my personal observation. If you want to take that as I hate all black people then that's your problem.

Cool, guess its my problem now then.

^ Settle down. Nuttynutskin was replying to Khadijah...

Surely she can speak for herself without you jumping in with guns blazing.

 

[nuke]

If you kill a white kid with money with a little cash in America over something petty it's not because you give a damn about the cash, it's because you resent them. When white people with money die cops swarm and you may as well just toss yourself into jail.

You grow up in a ghetto, barely learn to read and work the corner from age 10... Well, I dunno, it never surprised me much when these people shoot some person just for having a nice childhood and a comfortable adult life. It's just a sad statement about the way America ignores the bottom most rung of its people. It's not about black people, it's about middle and upper class America sitting around and arguing about iPads and sports cars while kids in their cities are shooting at each other just so they can have enough food to eat or some place to sleep at night.

Did you read any of the thread? Ain't like I just came out of no where to put my 2 cents in, I don't give a fuck who he was directin it towards cuz it's part of the same arguement that been like me and her tryin to show him the fuckin light and he keeps not seein it. And some of the shit he was quoting and bolding "yet" like I was about to get raided was about me so that def gives me some mufuckin rights to speak on his post.

 

[The Rock Monster]

Yep. This place aint perfect.

If he can't/won't see the light then let it be. No point kicking a dead horse, eh?

The black dudes who I've been cool with aren't the ones in the news for violent crimes against white folks. I made it clear along time ago that that's who I directing my comments towards, but you just want to keep going on and on about how much of a racist I am. So that's fine it's really no skin off my back what you think of me.

OK, let me bold this instead so maybe you can undestand better...

You're the one that kept asking me where I lived over and over and the one mod calling me out on it... If I didn't answer the first time it probably means that I don't want to say!!! I mean it's not like cops have ever used the internet to bust people doing illegal things!!! God!!!

I also made the size bigger.

I'm not trying to cut you off here bro, and I don't disagree with you. However, I feel that your point is moot. This guy is going to keep believing what he believes and you're going to keep believing what you believe. Lets all relax and move on to better posts as this one looks derailed.
