Ok I never understood why eastern europeans are like the niggas of white people when they are actually the whitest ones. Why is this?

The race relationship you're fixated on is just one example of a largely recurrent theme in human psychosociology.

But also why are they so racist? I have been beaten with a baseball bat in greenpoint for no other reason than just being there yet western europeans view you the same so wtf!?!?

Many aren't, but some unfortunately suffer from the same poverty of perspective as you.

The ones so afflicted are interestingly more inclined to brandish baseball bats.

So in your eyes, being poor gives people a license to beat people who look different to them with bats in a large group while screaming any and every racial slur?

So in your eyes, being poor ignorant gives people a license to beat people who look different to them with bats in a large group while screaming any and every racial slur?



....it's all about whether people open their eyes, or embrace their fear and ignorance.

One can be ignorant and wealthy. One can be ignorant and poor.

One can be ignorant and of any race, religion, sexual orientation, etc.

"One Human Family"

Poverty of perspective? That is what i mainly see on this board.

nofay, I see that you're ignoring my question - how cruel to deny me your perspective...

Whynot did name calling and i will report it since i was sent a warning for responding to whyfis previous name calling. Stop tryong to bait me it will not work.

Black people do not push other Black people out nor look at them as an "element" they want out of their community. White people, once they get fixated on an area want it all to themselves. IE williamsburg, fort greene, park slope, boerum hill. Big difference. Black people are allowed to have money too you know.
