I dont mind them, Most are nice people, but they cuss ALOT and think they can whoop everyones butt.
OK. I was sitting in break time today with my friends, we were all laughing, talking about cars and what we wanted. A black girl comes over, OK whatever, thats cool.. No. She says "Ni--a please. That aint sh--!"
Uhh. Did you seriously just say ni--a? She replied "Yeah, its a figure of speech. It dont mean nothin if we say Ni--a, Ni--er, Ni--ette, or ne-ro, its racist if you do though.
WOW

You can't beat stupid, it will always win.
Two days ago there were three boys that walked in (all three black and dressed in the typical thug attire that we all know and love).... One walked over to the area where the AKs are and asked "how old you gotta be to buy one of those?" I said 18 and then he grabbed his crotch and started singing some rediculous song. He got the look and stopped his mess.
Back in the day when I was in high school, the Warden at the local prison was black. He wouldn't send his children to our local country school. Rumor was he as afraid of POTENTIAL racism, being a small country hick school.
Too bad. His children would have received one of the best educations in the county. From those that new the children, the reports were they were good people.
Then again, it was just a rumor.
My nephews in Granite City would tell the same stories as Jake.
I have found that in the store when a moron comes in chanting and acting a fool if I stop and look them in the eye with my "upset face" they usually stop acting a fool and I don't have to say anything.

My response was "Old enough to keep your pants up and you ain't there yet". They left then.[}:)]
What bothered me is she can blab it like its another word. I bet if i said it to her, or anyone else, I'd get kicked out for 1 calendar year and the cops called on me.
Look at it this way;
Are they using language that would make someone want to hire them?
More importantly...
Are you?
There is a black family that moved in three doors down from me last year. Their two year old even has impeccable manners and pretty dang good diction (considering he's two years old) The rest of the children are friendly, clean, polite and so well spoken that I'm sure they'll fo far in theo world. They're from Queens, NYC.

No. The only time I cuss is if someone is being really really stupid, and needs to be told so, I get hurt, or very angry.
Do I walk up to people and just start rattling it off? Nuhhuh.

Well, that's my point.
Just continue to walk the high road.
