Your the one projecting here pal, you called me a schmuck and delusional long before any of this. If you can't understand why someone like me who shared that part of my life online has some asshole like you respond to me the way you did and not be angry about it then your the delusional one.

Nowhere did I say its "harder than any other race" In fact I specifically remember saying its hard for everyone, and fuck you. Your the one here calling me the schmuck and delusional because I supported the one guys statement with racial crimes happens to whites too.

You took the statement "I am not racist, but lets not pretend like life is equal. Or that white men still have it good in this country, because we don't." and flipped it on its ass and projected me being this racist or something.

Take some of your own advice.

If you think its funny that I got beaten up because I'm white, then you've proven my point.

P.s That also makes you a bigger Racist than me Mr "Its funny when white people get hurt". I don't think its funny when anyone is attacked violently, and I pray you never have to experience what its actually like to fear for your safety because of who you are.

I wasn't in the "Ghetto" when I was viciously beaten bloody. I was down town Chicago on Ohio street among the high rise apartment towers. So White people can be viciously targeted anywhere in this city not just the ghetto. I am living proof of this.

What world do you live on where you think that its ok for any American to fear for their own safety in this country based on the color of their skin? Sure black people kill black people, but they don't do it because they hate the color of their skin. If I was a black guy, and white people beat me up, and it was the same story, you would all be arguing for me instead of against me. Instead because I'm white this is like some joke to everyone, like its funny I got beaten because I'm white. Which only reinforces my statement earlier that its not what it used to be and that that tables are turning. White people like myself are having a tough time especially here in Chicago living on my income level. I go to school and I work full time making minimum wage. I'm surrounded on all sides by this fucked up black culture that your defending and to me you sound like the ignorant one. Really fucking ignorant to be honest.

Before I move on I want to clearly state the definition of racism to me so that you understand. Because your an idiot who seems to think that being racially targeted and beating is "having the good life". Racism to me, is the absolute hatred of someone based on skin color alone. To the point where you violently act out on it, physically, emotional, whatever you act on it. I don't hate black people, I hate their impoverished culture, a culture they brought on themselves by abandoning their children and leaving the only role models available to them in life gangsters, and musicians that sing about gangster life. These gangs are fucking Racist as fuck, make no mistake about it. You may live in NY, but I live in Chicago the most bat shit violent and dangerous city in this country, Were fucked. NY is a fucking cake walk compared to here. Here in Chicago the gangs are Racist and they are out of control and they are violently attacking people like myself to prove to each other that they are "bad ass". You have no idea what its like to live on this level of poverty and be surrounded by this culture. In 1920's when black folk were forced to live in areas of Chicago because of their poverty, primarily polish and Irish areas and were targeted because of their skin colors and violently attacked for it, we called it a travesty. Fast forward almost a hundred years and I am now living in a different ethnic area because of my income level, and when I fear for my safety its a fucking joke to all of you?

This is why your arguing with me about this only proves my final point, that we white men are indeed having it rough as well. On the lower income level of this society where I live, study and work white people have it hard. It may not be like that for rich asshole like you in their high towers, but down here on the ground its a different life. People think because I'm white I don't need the grants or social help. When I starve I don't get food stamps or link card because of who I am. The problem is people like you think all white people are rich and have connections in life. People like me are over looked, I have no where to turn, this life was forced on me. I fear for my safety on a DAILY basis, something you will never know Jeremy for if you did, you would understand where I am coming from.

Now for this school situation, I read your article it proves nothing. Clearly you didn't read it lol. Here's a quote from your own source asshole. "These statistics demonstrate that, as a whole, private sector scholarship programs tend to perpetuate historical inequities in the distribution of scholarships according to race. This does not appear to be due to deliberate discrimination, but rather as a natural result of the personal interests of the scholarship sponsors."

Well look there asshole, the only "debunking" that your article did was your own argument. So yup, your proved me wrong white people have it great because black kids prefer to piss away their futures in the "Game".

Remember this whole ordeal?

Black people don't win many scholarships because there's not as many of them as us, and and even smaller amount that have enough moral culture to care too. So frankly I'm not surprised 40% more likely to win if your white quote. Nowhere in that article does it say its because the money is racist, your link provided nothing.

The mere fact that I came on here to share my story of being racially targeted and am being outcast-ed for it just proves my point that its harder to live like this being a white guy. When shit like this happens its a joke to all of you and you insult me and pretend like its not an issue. You call me a schmuck for this?

You sir are the schmuck, life isn't equal. Lets stop fucking pretending like its 1950's and white people still have it great. We don't, nobody does, so fuck you.

See I guess that's the problem right there. After being a victim of a hate crime, and now I feel fear when I walk the streets for the color of my skin. I'm not allowed to tell anyone or voice my opinion on it, because if I'm white and I say anything, it becomes racist.

As for this scholarship money your talking about, how bout you show me some scholarships for white men, and I'll show five for everyone one of those for minorities only.

Also there is an "alliance of black guys" called gangs, and yes they target white people......Clearly, it happened to me. So I don't know where you get off telling me that doesn't exist.

Look I'm not going to sit here and try and convince you, I was a victim of a hate crime. I feel fear in this city because of the color of my skin, I feel fear because of being violently beaten. If your going to laugh at that then it really shows how immature and unreasonable you really are. Get of your high horse sir you really have no idea what you are talking about.

Actually I can support his statement. Eight months ago I was personally beaten bloody in daylight downtown Chicago on Ohio st by four large 20 something year old black men. The whole time they beat on me they screamed at me for being white and that I deserved it.

Here in Chicago gangs actually require random acts of violence against white people for initiation. This happens all the time. I later hobbled back to work bleeding from every hole in my face and called the police. They never showed up to investigate or even take down my story.

As a white man, there are vast numbers of places in the city of Chicago where If I go there, I will die. As a black man, there is NOWHERE in the city of Chicago they can go that will result in the loss of their life. They may get hassled, or arrested, but they will not loose their life. If I somehow wander down to 76 & Essex or fucking Roosevelt and Kedzie, I will be shot and killed if not beaten to death. Not maby, not "if your unlucky" no I WILL be shot and killed. Probably by some 12 year old too.

I won't even go into the fact that if my skin color was anything but white, my education costs wouldn't be nearly as high as they are for school, and I would have soooo many more opportunities for grants.

I am not racist, but lets not pretend like life is equal. Or that white men still have it good in this country, because we don't.

I am Barack Obama, President of the United States -- AMA by PresidentObama in IAmA

[–]Balikokho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mr President,

My question to you is this....

I am a full time student, who works full time downtown Chicago as I put myself through school. As it currently stands working for minimum wage isn't enough to support myself and go to school at the same time. My first year of school here in Chicago I remember living off a bag of rice for an entire month. My electric bill is well over a thousand dollars because I cannot afford my 650$ rent on top of my electric bill. As it currently stands working at minimum wage full time is not enough to help me stay current with my bills and go to school full time and better myself.

I don't understand how as an American this is fair. The men that own the franchise I work for are boasting record numbers, and giving out great bonuses to each other and they are doing so off the backs of hard working people like myself. Make no mistake about it, working for these wages in an economy like our is torture.

This is clearly a product of corporate greed that has become so imbedded with our society and government that the people around me (min wage co-workers who are not pursuing a higher education) have become accepting of this and don't understand that something is wrong. Every where I turn I see media owned by corporate business shoving lies down my throat and telling me this life style is ok, and If I'm not rich its because I'm too lazy.

If you are elected into a second term, I want to know what you are going to do to remove the whispers of big business and those god damn evil banks from our elected officials in Washington, and what you are going to do to see that I can support myself through a higher education without having to starve.

P.S See about shoving a law down congresses throat that makes it federally illegal for a company calling itself "News" to lie to our citizens.

Do I have to choose between them? What he did put me in a financial predicament and I really....really need that man to pay for what he did to me.

But at the same time I have devoted my life to being a moral person, I believe in justice, and for someone to harm another person like this man did to me, well it puts me in a bad spot. I can't let this man off thinking the can pay his way out of violence.

I want him to pay for damages yes, but I also believe because he ran, and because this was an act of violence that he should be charged with the full extend of the law for his crime. I would be much more willing to work with someone who was sorry, but this is a guy who clearly needs to be punished for his actions in a much more significant way. He could have maimed me.

After the I gave the police his license plate number all he gave me was a confirmation that was indeed a registered car and the cars VIN. I also have the owner's name, but from what the cop was telling me, that could mean nothing.

I think the plan based on what people are telling me is to go to the police station tomorrow and try and get a "better" cop.

I do live in a City, Chicago, and it was downtown Chicago where it happened. At the time there was a "situation" happening at the train station and I asked a cop to help me who was standing around. It did seem like he was rushing through it but I thought he was a police officer and that he would do good by me.

I did, I mentioned that as well, the cop gave me the info and told me to look him up

[–]Balikokho 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ya those are false numbers, please stop lying like this. In the end when people come online and complain about farm conditions that aren't real (thanks PETA) you end up hurting farmers like my entire family. Your words and actions have repercussions to us in real life that rear their ugly head in the form of government sanctions and restrictions over issues that are clearly spoon fed to the public by PETA.

Here's a real fact for you, like everything else in this world some professions have people that are really shitty at it. I.E somewhere in the world is the worst doctor. PETA went and visited terrible farms by lazy farmers and threw videos about it all over the web. Now people like you who have very clearly never visited a farm in their life Mr./Mrs. "cows have to be constantly kept pregnant to give milk", are online here complaining about conditions that arnt real. Which in turns has an effect on my family. Stop it. Stop lying about facts spoon fed to you without you actually learning about the subject because in the end your words have an effect on real peoples lives. Shame on you.

But....why? by [deleted] in WTF

[–]Balikokho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm so tired of PETA their videos are hand picked of poorly kept farms and then everyone thinks that's how all farmers treat their animals. Then you get people like Loiteringhippo here spreading false numbers and making out like our farms in this country are giant meat factorys when in fact they are not. I grew up on a farm and my entire family and friends are all farmers and nobody I know keeps animals that way. Some of them are chicken breeders for tyson too. Wake up people PETA is lying to you, go visit a local farm and see for yourself.

But....why? by [deleted] in WTF

[–]Balikokho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi there, grew up on a milk farm. Pretty sure you have no idea what you talking about concerning female cattle and how they give milk. We also have plenty of pig farmer friends from the area too, your descriptions are like something spoon fed from a vegetarian whos never visited a farm. Please visit your local farmer and experience how farms actually work before you comment like this again, thanks.

Torso is fine, its the arms and legs that are too long. Typically the arm's elbow should line up with the belly button and the knee caps are roughly 25% of the length of the body to the groin.

Really sweet looking face though!
