No it is not all they know, it is a life style they want to live. I have absolutely no sympathy for these people.

Maybe it is all they know.

I've met more than one person from the inner city who testified that it was only by chance occurrences that they discovered the lifestyles they saw on television (Family Matters, for instance) were not total fiction like Star Trek. They truly didn't realize it, nor did the people around them, but when they did, they took steps to achieve that lifestyle.

These shootings happen in small towns. So i would think they are not just confined to a small part of a chaotic environment.

I see these type of life styles as glorified, just like the mob lifestyle

Those people in small towns also don't believe any black people actually live like the Winslows or the Huxtables. Essentially, they don't believe life could be any different for them than it is where they are.

If they really believed it could be...they would leave. Those who do believe it can be...do leave.

They see it, why would they not believe it. Like i said in a small town, people are not as isolated from black working law abiding people. as they can be in a large city

Black people are not all the same culture. As we say, "Skinfolk are not kinfolk." Just because there are black working law abiding people in that small town doesn't mean they visit each other's homes.

Yes, but a Mississippi Delta Black is all together different than any black group of people in the world.

You'll have to understand that a black person does not take seriously a white person making a statement like that, particularly when my lineage stems from Mississippi.

Well like they say. You ain't from The Mississippi Delta, unless you are from The Mississippi Delta.
