Pictures of my neighbourhood (again)

[GePap]

I am very positive Speer is black, and no Shi, it does not take huge amounts of money to get a scanner..100 bucks will do, which is not some sort of fortune.

[Spiffor]

Erm, lovely neighborhood it seems
The quality of cars is surprising though. I don't think you'd see such cars in an impoverished French suburbs, except some belonging to dealers.

[Bosh]

AS, are you white or black?

Lebanese-American.

Speer: Resize and then do a sharpen filter or two. That will make those pictures look like they're in focus.

I always pictured him as being white kid w/ backwards phillies hat before someone told me otherwise.

But his avatar of malcom X never fitted with this image. (so 1/2 the time i was talking to him hes white, then black. )

Speer is white. He just likes to pretend he is black.

Is there a big wealth gap between Blacks and Whites in America?? Do Blacks tend to live in these kind of neighbourhoods then?

The short answer is yes. Though the gap has narrowed considerably since the 1960's & 70's.

As the snow flies
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
A poor little baby child is born
In the ghetto
And his mama cries
'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need
It's another hungry mouth to feed
In the ghetto

People, don't you understand
The child needs a helping hand
Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day
Take a look at you and me,
Are we too blind to see,
Do we simply turn our heads
And look the other way

Well the world turns
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows
In the ghetto

And his hunger burns
So he starts to roam the streets at night
And he learns how to steal
And he learns how to fight
In the ghetto

Then one night in desperation
A young man breaks away
He buys a gun, steals a car,
Tries to run, but he don't get far
And his mama cries

As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man
Face down in the street with a gun in his hand
In the ghetto

As her young man dies,
On a cold and grey Chicago mornin',
Another little baby child is born
In the ghetto
And his mama cries

In the ghetto
In the ghetto

In the UK the Asian population tend to live in older style homes although not necessarily ****holes, as posted by speer.

The average black family actually has a per capita income that's just 10%-15% less then whites. That's still alot but not nearly what it used to be. The biggest difference seems to be in educational achievement.

Black dragon:

school... i claimed it was for a project and got to scan them all up... you can also scan at public libraries and at kinkos for a small fee...


as for my race... I'm lebanese (though my family comes originall from southern egypt and the sudan). Probably out of ignorance, few people have thought of me as arabic prior to 9/11. people have assumed i'm puerto rican, mixed, and light skin black... the fact that i got a muslim name (and to most people, only blacks are muslims) further confused matters. in a way, i have had the rare experience of experiencing life as a member of the white, hispanic, mixed, and black races. the fact that my girlfriend is black has also caused people to further think i'm mixed or black though i can't see how i would look like that.

and Spiffor... that's consumerism for you... people live in small ass rowhomes in bad conditions but just got to buy 03 model cars and MJ's and jerseys and what not


thanks
