    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?

    ....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.

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

    noofay-

    We all see what we want to see.

    But, I'm all for you confronting such poverty when you see it.

    However, you may first want to get people to clarify their statements before believing you have found the enemy most of us seek to destroy.

    Sadly, this medium does not provide the writer or the reader to send-receive much intonation, or sarcasm.

    I also look forward to your answer to Whyfi's question.....

    This is a completely pointless "instigated" argument, and a waste of time. Feel free to continue the argument offline (that is to say, not on Brooklynian).

    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.
