Lol at you some more. What "hood" did you live in?Tell me you have never lived in the hood without telling me you never lived in the hood.
This will be good.

Lol at you some more. What "hood" did you live in?Tell me you have never lived in the hood without telling me you never lived in the hood.
Is 'we' suppose to include me?LOL...then walk the walk. But that would require that you recognize we created the conditions for this by consigning those populations to ghettos. And you will NEVER do that.
I already gave you what street I lived on but the neighborhood is known as the "west end" in Davenport. In the 90s it had one of the highest violent crime rates, per capita, in the nation.Lol at you some more. What "hood" did you live in?
This will be good.
You do realize I still go back to the neighborhood and still talk with a few of my friends right?
I said that because you tried to take a pot shot at me only learning "hate" and how to "steal". I've learned many, many things. Keep back pedeling though.
Part of understanding them is understanding how many excuses they make every single day. Yes, there are people who are dealt a bad hand but in America, if you work your ass off and hold yourself accountable, you WILL improve your situation. That doesn't always mean going from Rockingham road to a half million dollar acreage in western Dallas County but it does mean getting your back off the mat. Could I be more understanding and sympathetic, absolutely, but the last person I'm ever going to make an excuse for is myself.
GFY - been there many times. The "hood". Lol. Try the near west side of Chicago for comparison. You have no idea.I already gave you what street I lived on but the neighborhood is known as the "west end" in Davenport.

You want to take a ride to where I'm from Riley? I would laugh my ass off watching you interacting with some of those people.
Haha. You grew up on the shitty side.of Chicago or you have been there cuz I'm from the west end not been there dipshit? Good attempt at a one up Riley.GFY - been there many times. The "hood". Lol. Try the near west side of Chicago for comparison. You have no idea.
I had more black friends than white friends at some of my birthday parties when I was young. You hold no high ground with any of the bullshit you're spewing.
That's a hell of a narrative you created there. I go back because one of my best friends still lives there, not to judge him as your petty ass does, but to go spend time with him.Wow, you're still trying to show how successful you are. You're even to the point you're telling what street you grew up on and how expensive your house is. Of course you go back to the neighborhood, it makes you feel good because you got out and they didn't. I'm sure you love to hear all the excuses they have, again that makes you feel good. I see the theme here, it's all about you. You're right, you have no sympathy or empathy. I have a relative like you that became financially successful and constantly tells everyone how he/she made these great decisions in life and he/she did it all on their own. I know that wasn't true, this person sold drugs for a few years, stole, and then got lucky and something he/she owned made a lot of money. To this day that person won't acknowledge others and because of it, refuses to care about anyone but himself/herself. This person also loves to get together with old friends just to see how bad the other person's life is.
That's a hell of a narrative you created there. I go back because one of my best friends still lives there, not to judge him as your petty ass does, but to go spend time with him.
Damn you have gone into shut down mode to protect your ego. I show up to hang out and spend time with him and his kids. We bullshit about old times and how things have changed. He is my friend, one of my oldest friends, he knows anything that I have is his in a moments notice if he ever needed it.You sounds like a really great friend. I'm sure he loves having you show up and talk about your wonderful house and how great you're doing. I'm sure he loves having you come by. Did you give him your street address or just the county, you wouldn't want him showing up at your front door.
I'm laughing at your attempt to claim the West End of Davenport is the "hood". You have no idea.Haha. You grew up on the shitty side.of Chicago or you have been there cuz I'm from the west end not been there dipshit? Good attempt at a one up Riley.
What part of most of my friends and neighbors were black makes you think all of our block/birthday parties were not primarily POC?
You from Chicago Riley?

Any Davenporters want to chime in on the west end not being a ghetto in the 90s.I'm laughing at your attempt to claim the West End of Davenport is the "hood". You have no idea.
I did not grow up in Chicago but I know it well - and the West End too. You're a hack.
You have gone from calling me trash to creating a false narrative about how I interact with friends I have had for more than 30 years.I think this is all about your ego. You're the one who keeps bringing up how you're a success story. You've mentioned it here over and over, there's no way you don't bring it up when talking to others.
The West End of Davenport has been economically challenged for decades.Any Davenporters want to chime in on the west end not being a ghetto in the 90s.
@torbee, little help here.
You don't have a ****ing clue of what you are talking about. Take a ****ing lap Riley.
It's his insecurity showing through.I think this is all about your ego. You're the one who keeps bringing up how you're a success story. You've mentioned it here over and over, there's no way you don't bring it up when talking to others.
You are going to have to make it a little more clear for Riley.The West End of Davenport has been economically challenged for decades.
But soon that will be a thing of the past as gun restrictions are lifted and abortions banned! YAY 'MERICA!
That smell you are smelling, are my balls dragging across your face.It's his insecurity showing through.
Again - GFY. Your attempt to claim, as a white kid from the west end of Davenport, that you overcame "the ghetto" and oppression like black people have is complete bullshit. GTFO with that nonsense.Any Davenporters want to chime in on the west end not being a ghetto in the 90s.
@torbee, little help here.
This shit is about today and the west end is a cupcake compared to what it used to be, take a lap pisspants.

Truth hurts eh bud. You just can't recognize that someone actually made it out because they didn't make excuses and are a unrelenting/ uncompromising asshole.Again - GFY. Your attempt to claim, as a white kid from the west end of Davenport, that you overcame "the ghetto" and oppression like black people have is complete bullshit. GTFO with that nonsense.
I didn't and what balls? All I see is you trying a really strange flex about being disadvantaged. You've been exposed, again.That smell you are smelling, are my balls dragging across your face.
Claim Chicago again bitch boy.
"Made it out" of the west end of Davenport. LOL Your self fellating is comical.Truth hurts eh bud. You just can't recognize that someone actually made it out because they didn't make excuses and are a unrelenting/ uncompromising asshole.
Let me know when you get done reading the statistics.
What ****ing bars did you go in on rock? I don't remember anything your speed.I didn't and what balls? All I see is you trying a really strange flex about being disadvantaged. You've been exposed, again.
BTW, I never had any problems walking to the taverns on Rockingham in the 90s. You're really full of shit.
Something like 40% of people my age in the area had a child before the age 18 and some ridiculous number never graduated high school. It sure as hell is a "made it out" situation."Made it out" of the west end of Davenport. LOL Your self fellating is comical.
Most. Insecure. Poster.
More white-trashy down there (And I feel comfortable saying that, as my mom grew up on Homestead Avenue in the Garden Addition and I speak from experience spending a lot of my youth down there) but if not an outright ghetto, definitely the "wrong side of the tracks."You are going to have to make it a little more clear for Riley.
Was the west end of davenport specifically the Hayes neighborhood, across from that beautiful garden district, a "ghetto" in the 90s? And even today would it be considered a "ghetto". (Granted most of the action is now more central.)
Kind of weird that you now live in a country more heavily armed than South Vietnam was during the war. And, maybe as edgy.I havn't worried about being shot in 50 years, now I'm getting that feeling once again.
Hell, the Viet Cong were better dressed than most MAGAts.Kind of weird that you now live in a country more heavily armed than South Vietnam was during the war. And, maybe as edgy.
If being "insecure" is what gave me the "ill work myself to death before I ever let my family see what broke really looks like" then color me insecure, but your the bitch ass claiming Chicago, minimizing the ghettoness of the highest crime rate in the state and national high percentile, just because you want to die on the hill that black people have such a tougher time getting out of the hood than white people. Cuz your a loser...."Made it out" of the west end of Davenport. LOL Your self fellating is comical.
Most. Insecure. Poster.
Whooaaaa..... not needed....Hell, the Viet Cong were better dressed than most MAGAts.
Thank you. And it's a cupcake today compared to what it used to be.More white-trashy down there (And I feel comfortable saying that, as my mom grew up on Homestead Avenue in the Garden Addition and I speak from experience spending a lot of my youth down there) but if not an outright ghetto, definitely the "wrong side of the tracks."
You have gone from calling me trash to creating a false narrative about how I interact with friends I have had for more than 30 years.
Next time, instead of jumping in and thinking you know shit about shit, have a conversation.
How does this thread or the statistics behind it help your 401k?My 401k approves of this thread
Several corner taverns, the VFW was down there. Walked to the Aldi on Rolff. I don't think many of the bars are still there. FIL liked the taverns and we visited fairly often. Never once felt unsafe down there.Exposed? Where? When everything I've said is true and I even gave you stats?
What ****ing bars did you go in on rock? I don't remember anything your speed.
"We" are the white majority who forced blacks into segregated project housing in the 30's breaking up integrated city neighborhoods.Is 'we' suppose to include me?
I mean, I know it includes you, but how did I get mixed up in your affairs?..............and why wasn't I properly informed about this at the time this was all taking place?
How dare you exclude me from the decision-making process that went into said transgressions, for which I am now being lumped into and accused of along with you and countless "others" (well, not countless but still)................
Good description.More white-trashy down there (And I feel comfortable saying that, as my mom grew up on Homestead Avenue in the Garden Addition and I speak from experience spending a lot of my youth down there) but if not an outright ghetto, definitely the "wrong side of the tracks."
They are all still there. Even herbs, the Nickle, gunchies ect. You are full of shit.Several corner taverns, the VFW was down there. Walked to the Aldi on Rolff. I don't think many of the bars are still there. FIL liked the taverns and we visited fairly often. Never once felt unsafe down there.
You go to Pershing and 14th - now you're talking about dangerous.
Trying to compare yourself to a black person born into the poverty of a real ghetto is absurd.
There are sections of Davenport as bad as many of the worst areas of West and South Chicago. Hell, lots of family members commute back and forth between the two of them. Same with the west side of Rock Island.Man someone has watched Boyz in the Hood one to many times. The mean street of Davenport. That's funny as hell
The vfw.... **** me... you don't even know the west end.Several corner taverns, the VFW was down there. Walked to the Aldi on Rolff. I don't think many of the bars are still there. FIL liked the taverns and we visited fairly often. Never once felt unsafe down there.
