What is the street value of the balance of the cocaine if he doesn't cut it?

1) Johnny's an idiot. That foo did 3 drive buy's last week and he only hit one person in the left calf. He's gettin kicked out as soon as I get my gun back. The other thing, that punk ain't even got me my money yet for when he borrowed it to buy another clip. If I catch him before he's got my money, he ain't gonna be doin no mo drive buy's never!

2) It doesn't matter, cuz he ain't gettin any of it. That jack@ss jacked my cuzin and he's gettin his just desserts just as soon as I get my gun back from Johnny. You hear me Jose? Yer goin DOWN!

3) Rufus don't know it yet but his price is goin up. He ain't gettin any for free no more by lettin me have his girls for a couple days. Those *&^%$'s are hooked now and 1/2 their money comin to me now. So he better get me some new ones or he's payin up!

4) That stuff ain't gonna sell, his stuff is crap. He needs to talk to me and I'll hook him up with the good stuff. If not, I'll bust a cap.

5) 7. I want a nice new blazer and if he don't bring me one tricked out with spinners and a nice system, he'll be swimmin with the fishes.

I better get an A for this or I'll be testin out my new chevy with my gun when I get it back from Johnny on you teach.

Am I the only one who sees this as an ill-advised racial joke?

I fail to see anywhere in any post in this thread that is racially orriented?

What race?????

:roll: come to my 'hood-I can show you more pasty white-middle class "Gangta" wanna be's than any other 'hood in my state!

(of course you have to remember I live real close to where the KKK used to have it's main line operations ran out of.) In fact, when I first moved here 15 years ago, I couldn't get anyone who wasn't pure pasty white to even come over to my house! :shock:

I think I need to send this test over to my high school across the street. We have the highest drop out rate in the state, the lowest amount of racial representation, and we also do a dang fine job of the drop out rate...Yes-we would be high on the list for that too!

don't even get me started on the school board.....This looks like a test they would find acceptable!

Yes. If you're from an area like where I live currently, you'll understand exactly. If you're from LA or another big city, you should still understand, but because of the amount of diversity there are certain stigma's that go along with a certain style of speech.

First, for the sake of clarity; I didn't accuse anybody of being racist. I simply voiced my reaction to the words. I think they play to the lowest stereotypes.

It's entirely possible that I'm the one who's wrong here. But when I read or hear words like that, I think less of the person who writes or says them.

I don't disagree with you on that Quix, but that's exactly why i posted it the way I did. It's about as far from my vocabulary as you can *possibly* get. I honestly had to work at it to get it to sound right (and I'm sure I messed at least some of it up.)

I'm generally pretty big on speaking correctly, especially in front of people. I'm not the type to create words or use off the wall slang (in general) unless I'm trying to make a joke or a point.

Haplo, you could have wandered down to the local corner store and asked for some verbiage just like I could wander across my one lane street for it! :lol:

Quix, There isn't much between the races anymore. My God Parents were very well educated black people. If they read what was wrote in the original post-they would have kicked someone to the curb!

and Haplo, you're so pasty white proper english you could pass for a teacher-I'm flunking you!

Now that last statement is racist. #1, because I have called him a white person, and #2. I'm not WHITE. (But you never knew about #2, and to LOOK at me-you wouldn't guess it either)

Then you have a 3rd debate....What race do you claim? Black, white Indian and then we have the new HUMDA for the 1003...Latino or Hispanic?????? :x

Why Does Latino or Hispanic get a race box all of it's own when my people-the American Indians were HERE first? Oh-wait a minute-in the Southwest, they were there first, but in the rest of the states-WE were here first. I want a box for every American Nation Tribe on the HUMDA space of the 1003. And the black race will be included because of the territories we managed, and they had relatives there already.

Okay, I think I covered, everything from Alaska, to San Juan, and Old Mexico to Maine.

If not, please correct me.
