I got jumped

[Japher]

How's that for being even?

Good News begats Bad News.

Kind of like Seinfeld was always even. You get a job, you get jumped. It all has a way of evening out doesn't it?

Lancer, what you implied was that prison was a deterrent for white people but not for non-whites. I'm sure some black guys also get raped by other black guys. And, maybe, it's not down to the colour of their skin in many cases but how tough they are. So, therefore, it's racist.

[Lancer]

I'm sure black on black rape occurs, you're right. Hell, maybe if I get sent to prison I'll find Bubba, kick his ass and have my way with him. Thank's for the inspiration Mike.

Chegitz - sorry to hear that man, and I'm glad it ain't worse than it was.

If you're going to be stuck on a bike going through that area, find a different route - you're just too easy to ambush, even going fast.

Sorry to hear that Che

MikeH, I see where you're coming from, but let me try a different explaination that gets to the same conclusion and you can judge if it's a racist statement.

THE US judical system is obvioiusly biased against blacks.

I'll bet there are more black prisoners that think that they wouldn't be there if they were white then white prisoners that think they wouldn't be there if they were black.

So to a lot of black prisoners, it's Whiteys fault.

And due to the bias of US judicial system there are more black prisoners then whites. Blacks are the majority and have greater power by being the majority.

Hence minority white prisoners are more at risk of being sodomized.

Well?

A word about prison.
The whole concept is based on people liking freedoms.
If you don't mind loss of those, I guess prison wouldn't be so bad.

[MikeH]

rah, I understand that.

Lancer seemed to be implying that the reason that there were more black prisoners was because it would be too horrible for white people to go to jail so they were less likely to commit crime. Which implies that if you are black you have no problem going to jail...

If he had said that white prisoners got a harder time in jail because the system was racist I think that would have been fine.

Che - I thought you were jacked?
sorry to hear about it though - I'd personally get a gun. I have no problem with owning guns, actually - I just feel that they should be registered and that we should only be allowed to have reasonably strong guns, not AK-47s...
"Luckily you dont live in a bleeding heart NE state."
In New England, to kill in sele defence is just as accepted as it is in any other part of the country...

I didn't read his comment that way.
To me it read, prison can be a little more brutal to whites so it might be a bigger deterant.

While I might not agree with that statement, I don't find it racist.

An American is attacked in the street. 3 or 4 guys tell him to get a gun. Not one suggests that he should call the cops.

[MikeH]

It portrays the black person as a strong whiteman rapist unlikely to be dettered by the thought of going to jail and the white person as a weak potential victim who is more likely to stay within the law because of their fear of the consequences.

I'd say such generalisations based on skin colour alone were racist.

From what it sounded like he didn't have a clear view of his attacker, which would have made reporting it to the cops problematic.

Maybe. Maybe not.

"It took a moment for my brain to register what had happened, as I kept peddling, and then noticing that he was still running next to me. So I sped up. I mighta stopped to fight if it was just him, but he had four or five of his boys with him, one of who'm had circled around behind me."

I don't get the same impression but that's beside the point. Not only calling the cops was not the first choice, it wasn't even mentioned.

Prison is more brutal if you are in a group that is a minority in the prison. More often than not non-hispanic whites are a minority.
