It's eminently clear from context that, in this case, "groping" meant "sexual harrassment." And not the bump-n-grind on the dance flo' kind.sonicbum said:typical redneck....... you would shoot someone in the face for "groping" your girl??? now thats retarded.. do we know exactly what they meant by "groping"? were the girls on the dance floor????
This is, among other things, a non sequitur and a straw man. And if you'll pardon my tautology, I'll submit that it's also wrong.you would probably also stomp 2 vets if one of their girlfriends threw a hotdog at you too... am i right?????
sonicbum said:i think the video is real. thats not in some yuppy neighborhood, that is probably in the straight ghetto.
and secondly, "hate crimes" is the most retarded thing i have ever heard. me and a black person can do the exact same crime and i get an extra charge because im white, WTF???? now thats racist!!!!
Ghetto is usually [self] defined as a poverty-stricken area, usually highly concentrated in minorities.QUICKRYDE said:Not all movies or video's are filmed in a yuppie neighborhood and how do you classified, what is a ghetto???
Ghetto is where people act like they live in the ghetto, it can be any neighborhood.QUICKRYDE said:Not all movies or video's are filmed in a yuppie neighborhood and how do you classified, what is a ghetto???

A "real" ghetto is where Jews were confined during WWII before they were sent to concentration and death camps.
I don't find the implication made when many of the "progressives" and "activists" label these areas as ghetto (now a 'slang' term, which almost none of all the people who use the term know its roots) to be even slightly amusing or remotely accurate.

I'm more offended by the attitude associate with american 'ghetto' and appauled by the living conditions associate with american 'ghetto'.QUICKRYDE said:I like that one because that how I see the word GHETTO.![]()

QUICKRYDE said:I just wanted to know what is a>>>> "straight ghetto" because being an ex-army brat and had been privilege to see most of the world...I was just wondering, what the hell he mean by "straight ghetto". :think:
Beelzebub said:one thing i learned in school: never trust statistics. they can be distorted to make it look anyway you want it to. if i had the inclination and time, i could bend all the stats around, have completely opposite results, and it would still be within the confines of an 'accurate' survey.
and i still have no doubt in my mind that the original post of this thread WAS/IS a hate crime.
Beelze isn't trying to be a dick, dude....but, this is what he means when he says statistics are a bit "funny". Even my statistics teacher said, "there are liar, there are damned liars, and then there are statisticians".QUICKRYDE said:Well, if you can't go with the national crime data...your not looking for the truth. I think these guys know what they are doing or they wouldn't have their jobs but nice try with that logic.
You don't have to be a rocket scientist to come up with those stats...I view the news everyday and I see who commits the most hate crimes. Sorry bro but the truth can be a killer sometimes but I still feel sorry for anyone that experience a hate crime.
You may say it's a hate crime but the police, the media and myself, say different.
Invalid Link RemovedFrontPageMagazine.com said:[font=Times,Times New Roman]Since 1972, the U.S. Department of Justice has conducted a National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) to determine the frequency of certain crimes. One category is interracial crimes. Its most recent publication (1997), "Criminal Victimization in the U.S.," reports on data collected in 1994. In that year, there were about 1,700,000 interracial crimes, of which 1,276,030 involved whites and blacks. In 90 percent of the cases, a white was the victim and a black was the perpetrator, while in 10 percent of the cases it was the reverse. [/font]
[font=Times,Times New Roman]Another finding of the NCVS report is that of the 2,025,464 violent crimes committed by blacks in 1994, 1,140,670 were against whites - that's slightly over 56 percent. Whites committed 5,114,692 violent crimes; 135,360, or 2.6 percent were against blacks. [/font]
[font=Times,Times New Roman]In 1997, there were 2,336 whites charged with anti-black crimes and 718 blacks charged with anti-white crimes, so-called hate crimes. Although the absolute number of white offenders was larger, the black rate per 100,000 of the population was greater, making blacks twice as likely to commit hate crimes.
