That's cool. So how do black people act?

I caught the last half of "Growing Up Gotti".
I kind of feel sorry for Victoria. She's a single mother with 4 boys. That's enough to drive anyone crazy. And her boys are so disrespectful. The part where she was standing in the kitchen on mothersday and saying the she was glad she didn't have to make breakfast and she was glad she didn't have to hear any fighting when 2 of her sons start attacking each other.
Her kids are obnoxious brats. I hope their uncle beats some sense into them.

Are you calling me ignorant? I hope that's NOT what you are doing. I'm not the one.... Secondly, I would NEVER have to explain anything to you. I can defend and clarify ANY statement that I make, regardless of where I make it and whom I am speaking of. Get your mind right.

Who called you ignorant? Some might say you are acting black now.

Not sure, but I have a large group of Italian relatives (100% Italian) and none of them are anything like Gotti. Maybe they're not Italian enough?

Yep, I act BLACK 24/7! Why? Because I AM BLACK.

The same way you took my remark as "ignorant," is the same I took it as you calling me ignorant. You are the only one that came in the thread with some nonsense. I am not going to continue going back and forth with you over your comments. You are entitled to your opinion and I am entitled to my "ignorant remarks." :rolleyes: If you don't like them, don't read them.

KSigkid 08-03-2004 12:23 PM

I don't know about the "troops" being called in. I've posted before on this board and routinely look at all boards for interesting topics. This was one I found interesting, since I had been debating whether or not to watch the series.

All I was saying is that being part Italian with many Italian family members, your comment caught me the wrong way.

ETA: Looks like the post I responded to was deleted.

I never said your remarks were ignorant. Some might say that though. Hey if you don't like my remarks, don't read mine. I didn't tell you to stop posting and you do well to showcase your talents on your own.

And I'm sure quite often when people refer to someone acting black, they refer to them acting ghetto.

This is your reply in regards to my post. If you were not referring to my post, they why was this comment made?

I said people (not just referring to your post). It's really quite simple.

So what is acting black? I've always been interested if maybe I can watch a Nelly video and act black myself or perhaps what it is that I can do to "act black".

Yes, it was deleted because it was going to be replaced with something else. However, I chose to let it go because it wasn't worth it. I know that you have been over before and appreciate your comments to my post. It's unfortunate that people may have taken my comment the wrong way, but hey. There are millions of comments made on GC that people find fault with. Everyone's entitled. I do appreciate your comment though.

People in general.... OK, my bad. Usually when people quote your post and make comments, they are not "in general." Guess I was wrong.

Yeah, watch a few Nelly videos and you can pick up a few pointers. Try "Ride wit Me" and "Midwest Swing." Those are my favorites.

OK well it's good to know you're proud of what you say and don't mind others reading it so that in the future people like hoosier can tell you acting black is about rap videos and welfare.

And by the way, let me repeat, I said "people". Perhaps it would do you some good to look up the definition of people and understand it is more than one.
