Smart drug dealers will want money, but they don't want to get their hands dirty for a paycheck. Most drug dealers I assume are looking for a second income and drug use to them gives them networking cappabilities

Someone once said "if the world comes to an end I'll go to Holland, because everything's fifty years behind there."
I like to think we bridged that gap, but not the belt-to-spine gap apparently.

DirdyD said: I grew up around the ghetto. Thugs more often than not grow up in really, really, really harsh environments. Many people can't even imagine it. It's that bad.
Throw on top of that the fact that their role models are often rap artists and local drug dealers. It isn't pretty.
Many of these people don't even have a chance in hell to make it out of their environment, nevertheless make something of themselves. Not a chance. Which is really unfortunate because the programs are out there to help get them going on a good track. The programs are literally at their fingertips, but they're often so far gone down the wrong path that even the thought of turning their life around seems like a fucking pipe dream.
It's like someone visiting an exotic country that barely resembles their homeland. They wouldn't know what to do to get started acclimating to the environment.
They also often lack basic skills like elementary math, english, etc. So, they resort to immersing themselves into what they know, which is a life of what screwed them in the first place.
Real talk.
no, it's not real talk. my formative teen years were spent living in the ghetto, the reason they didnt have the opportunities is because they chose to cave to pressure and take the easy way out, they make the environment they're in, not individually but collectively. they've said "why the fuck do I need an education when I can make more money selling crack". let's stop making excuses for people that succumbed to the lure of easy money and let then deal with their own greed issue as they are

Naaah. I suppose we choose to see these situations per our existing view of the world, but I can say without a doubt that many of the people I came up with through elementary and high school had home lives that were horror stories. Crack addicted parents, chronic abuse, high homicide rates, etc. Hell, I had my ass kicked a number of times at school, on the bus and outside of school. I don't hate them nor am I overtly racists because I don't choose to have that perspective.
If you can't see and understand how these things can deeply disturb a young child, then I really question your motives, as many do.
Do they have a choice as adults? Of course, we all do. But the deck is stacked against them from the very beginning and that is one hell of a mountain to climb. By the time many reach adulthood, they already have records that exclude them from many programs that can help and decent paying jobs. I'm not making excuses for them, I'm stating reasons why many act the way they do.

I lived through alcoholics and drug addicts, a father that was convicted of 1st degree murder, a step father who's answer to everything was a beating, I fucking hated and still hate christmas because of that bastard, did you ever open a gift only to know it was going to be used to beat the shit out of you later. I was the small kid in school so dont think I didnt have my share of fights, lucky for me if I ran or lost my step father would beat my ass and make me go fight them again. it didnt take long to understand that I cant run or lose and it didnt matter if it was 1 kid of 5 kids and their size didnt matter either, I should have known better and picked up something to bring them down to my size
maybe it is about our experiences that shape our outlook

bullshit. they had the choice as kids to learn to read and write, they have the choice as kids to not cave to the pressures to 'stop acting/talking white', they have the choices as kids to decide they dont want to go into the family business of drugs and alcohol. I had those same choices and I made better choices than those that were seeking the easy way out so let's put the blame where the blame belongs, on each individual since millions of ghetto raise black kids have left poverty when they decided to not give into the pressures to conform to the shit their friends were doing. they are each the reasons they have records and they are each the reason they're excluded from various programs. it's not racism and it's not the 'man'. it's stupid choices by the individuals

I still see it here in the greater LA area on occasion, but it's not really that much of a thing anymore unless you're in the deep ghetto.

well duh... while the little asian guy wasnt trying to provoke them, he was only using a few words that could be provocative as opposed to acting like he wanted to get into a fight
the two different videos are like comparing apples and orangutans

I think you're one of those cats that just isn't willing to see things beyond the ways that only reinforce your view. Maybe your childhood has something to do with it. I was raised in a pretty fucked household as well and not too differently than yours. But, it sounds like you want to repeat the things done to you, only doing it to other people you deem shit. A violent, abusive person will find any and every means to justify their abuse.
It's a cycle and I'd work to break it, if I was you. Don't you drink heavily as well?...
You're just so completely far off from the reality of situations like this that it isn't worth conversing over. I rarely say that, but that's the gist I'm getting. Honestly, you seem just as thuggish as them, just in your own sadistic way.
Funny how that works.

Pris I commend you on making good choices. There are people out there that make bad choices. There are also kids whose parents make them sell drugs on the corner since the kids get less time. There are kids who get beat all the time when they're at home so they spend time with their friends, and consequently the only exposure they have to a life of not getting beat is a life around criminals.
Do they have the option of learning to read and write at school? Of course- but if they are having trouble with that and the teachers don't give them any attention how do you expect them to not turn to survival mode?
Let's not forget about the kids who are so broke they only way they've been able to have food and clothes is to sell drugs since 10 year olds can't get a job at McDonalds.
I think you've got this mindset that everyone is like you, and since you overcame certain obstacles it is unheard of that others couldn't/didn't and they only have themselves to blame when clearly it is a multi-dimensional issue. Things aren't always black & white.
As was mentioned- the odds are often stacked against them and so it becomes a part of who they are. Do you really think that a 4 year old who knows the words to Young Jeezy and flashes gang signs isn't indoctrinated into thug culture? Don't be foolish- it is brainwashed into their world view.

you mean to tell me that you arent seeing things in such a way as reinforces your views such as your mistaken impression that I'm filled with anger or resentment because of others or that I'm perpetuating some cycle. i grew up in housing, that doesnt mean I took the ghetto with me through life. you seem pretty out of touch with what I just typed, that was just a few minutes ago, not 35 years ago as was with my childhood
