This is why you don't go into Detroit's suburbs

[Detroitnerd]

Or befriend or date anybody in the suburbs. As you can see, you're much more likely to be beaten to death getting involved with one of these brain-damaged Caucasians.

=====================

WARREN [[WWJ) – A 31-year-old Warren man has been charged with beating his girlfriend to death last weekend.
Matthew Chopp is accused of Leslee Whitmere following a domestic argument in the home they shared in the 20000 block of Wexford.
According to Warren police, Chopp had been out drinking Saturday night, returned home and assaulted Whitmere. She died as a result of multiple internal injuries.
Chopp was arraigned Tuesday afternoon before Judge Dean Ausilio in 37th District Court on a charge of second degree murder.

Right, because domestic abuse is exactly the same as random public streetcorner lynchings.

I don't know, Bham. With all the economic insecurity going around, some of these Caucasians are really dangerous, especially if you form close, personal relationships with them.

Come to think of it, is there a more violent demographic than working-class white people? They certainly make up the majority of people in jail.

So let's recap, shall we?

If we assume that:
A) Detroitnerd is Caucasian
B) Detroitnerd lives in a Suburb

Both are true, if you are honest.

Then C would be:
C) Detroitnerd is a violent psychopathic killer with no good tendencies at all. Also a working class white person, with the same dangerous tendencies.

Personally, I believe Dnerd should be banned just for these reasons.

Nonsense, townonenorth. I'm a credit to my race. I'm trying, in vain, to raise the consciousness of my Caucasian brothers and sisters. I know they're addicted to hatred and a false sense of superiority, and I make small efforts every day to try to help educate the white community, help it to see where it can grow. Now, I know I do it from the relative safety of a racially diverse community surrounded by the city of Detroit, which acts as a buffer between me and the violent suburbs, but I do hope you won't hold it against me. I'm just not excited by the idea of, you know, all those suburban Caucasians out there "keeping it real" by going to titty bars and hooting and hollering at BWWs and stuff.

Fine, then. In that vein, theoretcially, I should unfriend and block you. Just like the commercial.

You write like you are on meth, or something. Delusional and quite troll-like, and WHITE AND IN A SUBURB. Get yourself some counseling while you still can, brother. Become part of the solution, not part of the problem. Calling the kettle black [[or white in this case) should not become your M.O. . pal. You should stick to calling out streetcar haters and the such.

Choose to defuse, brother.

This thread is going to devolve very fast I think.... seems like a small fall.

No, They're just going to keep feeding the troll and participate in the absurd scenarios.

When you keep setting up a straw man that is repeatedly [[and with ease) knocked down, are you simply a troll?

What, me? Troll? No, I'm actually worried about people out there, or people who have to work there. And it's not racist, because the statistics show that most white people kill other white people, so everybody should be concerned.

Some complete generalizations of hundreds of thousands based upon geography or skin color continues to go unchecked but a creating a strawman based upon an actual situation is trolling?

Where is that behavior going unchecked? And what does that have to do with the very, very real problems of Detroit?

Some people have a victim mentality. Any criticism is perceived as a personal slight.

[jt1]

It's sad and comical how quickly Dnerd gets people's panties in a bunch. If he is just trolling, you would ignore him. I suspect he is stating things that bother people because there is some truth to it and it doesn't fit your own profile of yourself or people like you.

Again, it is easy around here for people to generalize about 'them' but you better not generalize about 'us'

Stupidity here shouldn't go unchecked, which you implied above. And isn't it more sad and comical how quickly Dnerd gets his panties in a bunch when somebody points out problems in Detroit, a city which he only sees through rose-colored glasses?

We're generalizing about a city. The people are one component.

[jt1]

You aren't really claiming that there is no racial component to generalization of 'Detroiters' are you? Are you really saying there is a distinction here and elsewhere between speaking of 'Detroiters' and 'those'

Not at all. I'm claiming there's a difference between a criticism of the city as a whole and the people living within the city.

Call individuals out. Don't pretend the very real problems don't exist.

There are different ways to address problems with the city and generalizing people in the city. Perhaps you differentiate those however this board tends not to and I don't see people jumping in to point it out beyond very few people.

I'll keep an eye out for you to correct people in the future.

No question the city has many,many issues. There is also no question that it is often represented as 'those people' or how all people in the city are. Strangely, there is typically not a crowd of people jumping in to correct the discrepancy but make a strawman comment about people in the suburbs and all holy hell breaks lose.

Sometimes people use it as codeword racism, and sometimes thin-skinned people here who immerse themselves in an "us vs them" victim mentality see racism in every use of the word, no matter how innocuous. So it kind of goes both ways.

That thread about the guy who got beaten nearly to death after stopping after an accident wasn't just another "Detroit bashing" crime thread. It was a NATIONAL news story concerning Detroit. It was a legitimate topic of discussion, even if it was negative in nature. But of course, certain posters here get immediately defensive and hostile at the mere mention of it and other threads that mention crime in Detroit. Why is that? Every criticism of the city is not magically rooted in racism against black people.

[Detroitnerd]

Hey, my panties aren't in a bunch. I'm trying to build UP. It's you guys who need help. I'm starting some consciousness-raising workshops aimed at helping white people understand their plight and get organized. We're going to start them in needy white neighborhoods, like the southern part of Warren, Downriver, maybe some of the more disinvested parts of Redford. I hope you guys will come.

If it helps your cause, I had a vehicle broken into in Romeo. I've never had a vehicle broken into in Detroit. Feel free to run with that one.

Was it a historic vehicle? Did an angry mob put scaffolding around it and try to restore it by force?

We can't address this topic without discussing each and every other problem in America in tandem. I'm sorry.
