Those who act like idiots get treated like idiots no matter what the skin color. There's areas of cities where crime rates are extremely high. Unfortunately there's a lot of racial profiling that goes on in those areas but in a high crime area everyone seems suspicious. The police don't patrol "white suburbia" like the ghetto simply because there's not as much crime. Many claim it's the color of their skin that gets police bothering them but it's mostly crime.

There's racist people everywhere including cops. You're never going to change that and some bad seeds in the police force make all of them look racist. Some cops cross the line when it comes to arrests and it continues to get noticed and disciplined. Many police departments are running cameras on their dashboard and the officers have a mic on them. Some even have cameras built into their body armor. With technology like that it's really easy to see if the cop followed procedure.

Minorities in America have more opportunity now than ever before if they're willing to work for it. When people become a product of their environment who's fault is it? If you have negative influences at home hope do we fix that? When I was a kid I lived in a mostly white middle class area. A black family from the city moved into an apartment down the street. They were included by other kids in the neighborhood right away. A few weeks after they arrived the kids caused $2k in damage to the park and baseball field. They weren't blamed because they were the only black kids in the area, they were blamed because they got caught. The family was evicted less than 6 months after they arrived because the apartment was unliveable due to all the damage they caused and repeated involvement with police because of the constant excessive noise extremely late at night. They had extremely bad influences at home and from their previous environment and weren't ready to change even when put in a place that had amazing opportunities they didn't have before. They didn't have to change who they were, they simply needed to have respect for their community.

Some people would excel given that same situation. Sadly that's not the case a lot of the time. How do you fix that? I don't think anyone has the answer.

No matter where you go you must adapt to the environment. Doesn't matter what color skin you have.

I won't lie, Nigerians at lot of my people are criminals. We have that inbuilt criminal mindset and I just don't understand why it is like that. A lot of them travel to the US to get involved in fraud. Even here in Nigeria, the politicians and the police are all thieves. If for example we have 100 Christians representing the whole of Nigerian citizens, I will say 60% have that criminal mindset. Yes my country people are that bad.

I really do not know why it is like that. I might sound stupid but I wish we were still ruled/colonized by the whites because ever since we gained independence in 1960, there have not been any tangible development and tribalism and religion is one of the major problem here. The only reason why I haven't left my country and relocated to America is because music is very rewarding here and I am an up and coming musical artist. I believe I will blow up soon and after my 10 years reign I will buy properties in America and relocate with my baby mama and kids.
 
[MENTION=162352]huge-girth[/MENTION] the reason for all the crime is typically poverty. A girl at work moved here from Puerto Rico 6 months ago. She's told me about how she and many others have been forced to live at times or you simply won't eat. There's a lot of poverty and when the country gets hit with a bad enough hurricane it can knock out electricity for weeks. 2 weeks after a storm they still did not have electricity in many parts of the island. Her and her girlfriend walked all day to get to her mother's house just to see if she was okay. They couldn't call since the phones weren't working.

Puerto Rico is a US territory. They're supposed to be part of us without being a state. It's a sad situation there for an island that America claims as its own. It sounds as if things are the same as your country.

We don't have any natural disaster here in Nigeria. We have internet and electricity is stable but not constant. There are places with 24 hours electricity but the electricity monthly bill is too high for a jobless guy like me. There are places with only 6 hours electricity daily. My place we have only 12 hours of electricity daily.

I believe this administration thinks that Puerto Rico is a 'shit-hole country'

From talking to this girl it's beautiful scenery wise and if you have money to live decently. Otherwise it's a shitty living and that's where a good portion of people end up.
 
We've got 3 cats and they're 3 different sizes. I thought I'd give hanging a try and since there wasn't any readily available weights I grabbed the smallest cat. She's tiny, barely 10lbs if even that much.

I used her cat harness which after she wears it for half an hour she's totally comfy. The cat was not hurt in this endeavor in any way.

I hook her up to the [words=http://www.mattersofsize.com/forum/showthread.php?83577-Length-master-official-order-thread-now-shipping-06-16-2014!!!]LM[/words] and she's hanging just below my knees. She had a couple WTF type meows but when I talked to her she calmed down. Well her meows brought one of the other cats, the cat she hates. This is when it all went wrong.

She started swatting and hissing but the other cats aren't scared of her. Next thing I know she's doing a full on attack while swinging like a trapeze artist. My legs suffered the attack. I'm clawed up like crazy. Still don't know how I managed to unclip her without causing more damage to myself.

Now I can't wear shorts for a week since my lower legs look like I rolled around in thorn bushes and it's going to be really hot this week.

So yeah, shut the door when you hang. Don't want one cat pissing off the other.

I remember this thread. I couldn't stop laughing. Longest time brother. Hoping to see you around.
