the message still applies for me

the guy throwing or the other guy?

the guy getting hit by the brick

hmmm.... still, I would disagree with such an attack.

he didnt throw it tho, he hit him in the face with it a few times

its more the message behind it is why i brought it up, fight and both of you live rather than kill and then most likely be killed in retaliation

oh, well in that case it is definitely an attack I would assume means to kill me, reguardless of my size to his.

I would say that a physical attack is something that should only be done as a matter of last resort.

youd have to watch the movie to get it, im not doing it justice, plus its a comedy movie for the most part

oh, didn't know it was a movie, thought you were talking about a recent event in the news.

nah its a movie called friday about people in the hood, that one part felt like it was relevant for the culture conversation that was going on

ah

Hell yeah

I've watched that movie

It's pretty fucking great

It's probably accurate for those communities, too

personaly I work with an asumption that every rule has an edge case.
there isn't much in the way of obvious color diversity where i live and so I don't have to worry about anything past "basic human assumption"
which normally is enough to start with almost anyone.
i'm sure if i lived in an area where there were clear culture lines I would have a "culture A assumption" and a "culture B assumption" that i would start with when ever I met someone new.

it just so happens that cultures are passed on much like genetics, so culture tends to be mistaken for race.

@ARockRaider would be better if it was not racial cultures and just the culture in general in low economic area such as the hood

@ARockRaider and you shouldnt be afraid of the culture when you enter the gated community and see a black family

I never would be

awesome, that was not a comment entirely directed at you, but people in general

oh

i tend to write "you" alot but really i mean it in axiom form like kant

you ought to do this

you meaning everyone in general

Race is nothing more then a curiosity to me, never has been more then that.
I understand though that it CAN be a marker for the culture someone has.

but I very much agree, one should never hold long term assumptions of a person based on the group they are from.
if they act in a way that shows them as diffrent form your assumptions of them then you need to change those assumptions to macth their actions.

the economic factor is the most likly for you to determine the culture of someone.

i would say if i saw a white man who was bald and many tattoos looking into my car on the street, that he is probably lower class and therefore a shitty culture and therefore probably going to break into my car

I tend to think culture is more the driver of economic position in the long term, though culture is often inherited so it can be hard to tell what one drives the other.
I think the reality is that both can have effects on each other so that makes simple "A causes B" systems to break down rather quickly.

elaborate

I tend to think that people find themslefs in the economic position that their actions cause, for example if one always has car debt then they will have a harder time getting past a certain level beacuse of where they have their money tied up.
so Culture acts on ones economic position.

form personal accounts, very expensive repairs are much less stressfull when you can afford to repair them with cash.

thats fine but that does not tie culture to race

I don't think someone is stuck in a culture because of their race, but you will be very likely to adopt the culture you grow up in, that being the one your parents have, so it can almost be like culture is a racial thing because the correlation is so close.
that is all only usefull for first impressions to me however.

why do you think white women come out of the public school system mostly liberal communist? is it because of their parents culture?

id argue it is in the schools not the parents

now that is less of a race thing and more of a school system thing, I also think that the genders have their own predispositions towards certain things based on what biology demands from that gender.

of course they do, they are more agreeable

again, the biological predisposition is nothing that can't be over come.

just a quick check, am i saying anything that is flat out crazy?
I have guests that i would like to spend some time with for a bit.
