Go ahead and comment. I hate dumb rednecks. I don't like the ghetto drug dealers either, but I'll bet you can take a drug dealer who lives in the ghetto, and put him or her at the top of a major corporation and he or she would be successful, and that's because numbers are numbers, you either get it or you don't. But the trailer trash wouldn't have a freaking clue. They're too dumb to even spell GED. Idiots!

I have nothing pertinent to add to this thread other than the fact that I <3 The Wire.

Since when does drug dealer = ghetto? Not all drug dealers are 'ghetto'. Is it that you just don't like the Ghetto ones? Or is it that you consider anyone who sells drugs ghetto? Serious questions.

Not that there's anything wrong with that -- not at all. But I've been around long enough to know that doesn't necessarily provide eternal job security.

Since when has there been different kinds of drug dealers? Drug dealing is drug dealing. Which, to me, equals ghetto. Ghetto, trailer trash, and low class people don't have a color, to me. Max targets one race of people, and it's not based on race. Low class is low class, regardless of anyone's race.

I think she's trying to say that "ghetto" doesn't automatically mean "drug dealer"

There are people from ghettos who turn out ok. There are also people from affluent neighborhood who end up selling drugs or being bad seeds.

o.k. well, this. I was just trying to get Max to see that low class doesn't mean "African American". Max constantly relates black people to low class, and welfare, and I was just trying to get Max to understand that low class welfare users are not always black.

Max isn't here to understand. He's just here to rile people up.

I don't think Max is trying to get people upset, I think he really believes what he post.

And PrettyFace08, I'm really sorry about relating "ghetto" with drug dealing. I was wrong. It's just that I was only trying to get Max to see that the "race" of people who he's called "ghetto" on several occasions, are actually smarter than (and not lazy) the "trailer trash" that he seems to leave out of his posts. He doesn't get that it works that way with every race of people.

I don't know why you all try to relate to Max.

Max doesn't give a shit. All he/she wants is for us to react.
