You hear the chirping of dozens of fire alarms with dead batteries—an ambient soundtrack of neglect.

I grew up in Northern Virginia. My experience with Black America was the opposite—normal families, striving professionals, order and discipline. Here? It’s like a different civilization entirely. It’s not even American. It’s Caribbean. It’s Central American. Quirky, stabby, corrupt, surreal.

NOLA is probably the worst example of ANY culture. Been twice, last time was March of this year. I'll never go back outside of potential work/conference. It's the most dysfunctional city I've been to in the States or territories. Charlotte Amalie, Saint Thomas is better run. Red Hook, Saint Thomas better run.

I get most people West of the Mississippi, Texas being the exception don't go to the Caribbean. It's dirty, but they have no where to put their garbage on islands. Otherwise the people are amazing and I've never felt threatened once. USVI, Jamaica, Dominican, Curacao, Aruba, Cayman, Saint Martin, Mexico, and Puerto Rico which does have some rough areas admittedly. NOLA is by far worse than any of these places I've been.

Serving Black People is a Nightmare & They Never Tip

Serving Black People is a Nightmare & They Never Tip

This is 100% true. Wife dealt with it all the time in college. As far as I'm concerned they got their reparations by not tipping whites that served them. They got a measly $3/hr and served you. No housing or free food. Slavery was living well.

Deadly shooting at Florida fast-food restaurant may have been over mayonnaise packets

Yep, we can blame it on something white.

It's one of many sub-categories of the overarching "identity politics fatigue":

Think of the tax dollars saved.

Chicago as a city is worse than Iraq and Afghanistan at their peaks, COMBINED. It's sad.

I've got a Chinese friend who says that Americans need to give up their guns because of all the gun violence.

I pointed out that if you simply remove the largest black cities from the statistics, American is safer than Norway and Canada (read that somewhere).

Shootings in the US are overwhelmingly blacks shooting at each other, and sometimes at whites and Asians.

I hope they all kill each other.

That Chicago?

That Chicago?

I don't know. but it's fun to analyze videos by looking at clues in it like detective.

- all houses have no spacing between them, so old building codes likely, older neighborhood, smaller houses. Chicago houses have spacing between, been there, so I don't think it's Chicago. Gotta be another big city. I am not familiar with that architecture though. I just know Chicago houses looked different from that.

Sounds almost like beltfed. AF would be proud.

Damn, that was just today at 1:30am.

There were numerous people caught in the crossfire. As a result, the video showed people ducking for cover. In addition, there was one person returning fire. According to local news reports, three people were killed and nine others injured after multiple gunmen opened fire on the crowd.

Yeah, I don't know Philly, but that's not Chicago architecture. Obviously you linked.

I really don't get it. What was it for? What was the end goal? These types of shootings are stupid. 3 dead. Imagine watching someone get shot and die. That's not remotely normal. Turf, drugs, gambling or just pure hatred.

Glad we got my nephew no where near baby daddy.

Has any majority-white area ever improved after an influx of ghetto Black culture, in terms of quality of life, safety, or community strength?




... We’ve been conditioned to believe that poverty, crime, and community collapse are caused by “systemic racism,” “underfunded schools,” or “lack of opportunity.” The approved solution? Spend more money. Hire more diversity consultants. Blame the cops. Apologize.

But here’s the uncomfortable truth: none of that explains what actually happens when a neighborhood, business, or school system absorbs large numbers of people who bring with them not just economic struggle, but a deeply dysfunctional worldview — a culture that glorifies aggression, rejects discipline, and ridicules order. ...

What has been celebrated, defended, and exported as the cultural identity of African Americans is not African at all, nor is it a product of slavery. It is a set of behavioral patterns and values rooted in the poorest white communities of the American South — a subculture that Thomas Sowell traced with historical precision in Black Rednecks and White Liberals. ...

The loud, impulsive, anti-authority attitude now identified with ghetto culture did not originate in Africa, nor did it emerge from centuries of bondage. Instead, it came from what Sowell calls the "Cracker" culture — a violent, honor-obsessed, poorly educated subculture transplanted from the British Isles into the Southern backcountry.

This culture was marked by:

A deep suspicion of formal education

An emotional volatility that turned trivial disputes into violent confrontations

Loud and boisterous public behavior

A fatalistic worldview that prized pride over prudence

Hostility to work that was not immediately rewarding or status-enhancing

Minimal regard for lawful institutions or civic order

When Black Americans remained in the South after emancipation, many absorbed the behaviors of the surrounding lower-class whites. This was not unique to Black people. Culture is not bound by color. But what was once a regional subculture gradually became a racial stereotype, due in part to its romanticization by media, its amplification in urban settings, and the protective shield erected around it by guilt-ridden white elites.

Still blaming Whites for Black culture, I see.
