Just amazing how many small-minded people there are-- everywhere. The people who want to show off a gun, who want to intimidate you just for fun, who are openly racist. Django has mixed with the inner-city version of this lower rung of society, but such people are everywhere, and are certainly not just black people or city dwellers. We all know that small-mindedness is everywhere, and manifests itself in different ways (normally in racism and fear which may or may not be communicated through violence or intimidation). Django has come across one of its more perturbing manifestations. Blatant intimidation, at gun point.
Those are the sort of folk that you can't really "work it out" with by talking to. You can't forge a relationship with those idiots, even if you wanted to just for the sake of making peace. You could only be their friends if you tried to join whatever gang their in-- and unfortunately since you're white, and do not have any desire to partake in organized crime, you probably won't be doing that.
There has to be a reasonable, inexpensive neighborhood in the city where diversity is tolerated and gang intimidation isn't present, and I would suggest you find it. |

Everybody says, acts, lives, loves and dies their script and destiny. Some people just have to live on the edge just to know they're alive others know they are alive just because they are breathing. Who can say who should do what, where, when or how? I've got no advise for anybody about how they should live their life. I've got enough trouble figuring out how to live my life. How do I know if you shouldn't be shot dead in the hood? The answer is I don't know so what you do is non of my business. But, I am glad to hear your war stories because I have a tendency to learn from others pursuits and what I would term mistakes for me! |

Gosh, and some people wonder why so many people are leaving the city still. It's nice to be a pioneer in the pursuit of helping Detroit return to world class status but reality has a habit of ruining the dream. It's pretty bad when you can't even walk your dog without facing harassment and maybe death.
Too bad the hood has been taken over by hoods. |

Dbc;
Victoria is one blk. N. of the Davison entrance curve. All four houses are (were) identical, (I thought they were cute), on the east side of Gallagher. Probably some dumbass slumlord burning for insurance, or even some dirtball ex-tenant. I dunno. I will drive by your block and report back. |

This guy went overboard, but I understand not wanting to be charged by a dog. Not everybody likes dogs. Be courteous and keep the dog on the leash. I think it also a city and/or state law. |

Don't forget mortal/pam........ that the man came walking up to Django in the middle of a large field. He wouldn't have been interesting to Mar Mar if he kept to his own. If he didn't like dogs, he didn't have to "ask" Django for "something". It's obvious to me that the situation was provoked by the hoodlum, and not Django.
I am a firm believer of keeping your animal on a leash in public. There are, however, places to let you dog run freely off a leash while avoiding trouble, pedestrians or traffic. |

Mortalman^^ I believe made the most interesting point. What I consider an experience he may consider a mistake, I can live with that.
Like I said. Im not posting this to whine about my problems, just making them known. I dont think ppl realize how often this kind of shit goes down. Nothing newsworthy but can make for an interesting thread.
Blondy hooked me up with someone who has a cheap house for sale over by CAID off Rosa Parks. CAID is an art gallery run by a friend of mine Aaron Timlin. Its West of the Woodbridge area but close enough for me to feel comfortable. I hope Im able to work it all out and buy the place. Needs a lot of work but thats fine with me.

One major point brought forth in CPL classes is that you do not willingly allow yourself to be put in a position making it necessary to use your concealed firearm. You know what is meant by willingly.
Putting yourself in a unsafe environment when you have the ability to leave doesn't make sense. You are willingly putting yourself in harm's way. And for what, to "prove a point"?
This isn't just "playing games", it's for keeps.
Dead is for a long time..., it's permanent I hear.
It doesn't matter where you live, the city or suburbs,if the area is unsafe,time to go.
My opinion when someone BRANDISHES (a legal charge in the State of Michigan, check Michigan State Police website) it was damn close to being used. And if not this time, maybe another. Who knows?
And most likely this person with the firearm was NOT a licensed CPL holder in this or in any jurisdiction. And your dog, and you could have become another item for Action 7 News at eleven
Just a few things to mull over...........

Django, you're certainly welcome to buy the house two doors down from us, which is $60,000. The house next door to us is a run-down foreclosed mess, but with a lot of work, it can look nice. My wife doesn't like dogs, but she'll make an exception for yours. Half the yard is already fenced in, so if you just added a gate, it could run around back there. It's listed for $12,500 and is in East English village. Let me know if you want more info. We'd love to have a no-renter, long-term owner there.
Speaking of, I've got a tale from the hood: for the last month I've had a group of teens hanging out in the backyard/garage of the foreclosed home next to me, shooting dice. They come around between 5-7 p.m. and stay for at least an hour, the longest period being three hours. They've broken the glass of the house's back door, just for kickers. I've called the cops, who finally showed up after I called 911 for the 6th time. But get this--the kids ran off when they saw the 5-0 pull up, then returned later--AND stayed until after 9 pm (dark), illuminating their dice shooting with flashlights. Grrr....
Anyway, to get into the mentality of some of these types, I ran the story past the students in one of my high school classes. I was told, straight faced, "Why you call the cops? That was probably they 'chill spot,' you know, where they go to chill. They probably from around the neighborhood. Don't call the cops, 'cause they probably holdin' down the block for ya'll." Trust me, these kids aren't holding down jack, let alone my block. Found out today that the chill spot is mobile...they also gamble inside a foreclosed house a block away. These kids are gone for hours at a time, and it looks like their parents don't know or don't care. To quote the principal in Ferris Bueller's day off, "I weep for the future." |

What's worse than having your car window busted out??
Having your car window busted out when your doors are unlocked.
Is that really the level of scum bags we have trolling this city's streets? Of course knowing that my doors didn't lock in the first place I never kept anything in it worth stealing so it was all for the estimated 8 cents in my ashtray.
Oh, and they managed to somehow break my passenger side seat. |

Django stated...quote:Ive got some good Tales from the hood, how about you?
Do you have any true idea or true concept of the significance of a 'HOOD', the nuances, the complexities, and peculiar phenomenon that shapes itself and takes course during everyday folkway circumstances and evolving conditions??
You use the term in such a sarcastic manner, as if you are almost happy to find yourself enveloped in the trenchant of chaos...ie; the 'basic white' 'I have Black friends' street credibility syndrome__But only now, you are finding out that 'fitting in' ain't what it appears to be__go figure!
Your melodramatic introduction by way of 'tales from the hood' comes off as racist and arrogant__perhaps you wish to be labelled courageous, gallant, or perhaps larger than life by your 'basic white' counterparts because of your 'tales in the hood' stories.
Most of 'us' (unlike Dyers) that survive everyday in the 'hood' see it in a different manner. We understand the events that may present itself at anytime, it is not a 'tale' to 'us', we understand the standardization and qualification of each and every operation that are manifested from evolving circumstances. Most of which comes from agents outside of the 'hood'.
The rules of surviving are not written down on paper, or in a constitutional process, or even pontificated by governmental law (they don't care about us)__The transmission of these street rules are developed from inside, not through fairy tales ...it's in the DNA, so then in order to understand it, you have to be one of 'us'.
The events in which you encounter as an 'outsider' is nothing to play/or laugh with...if you don't understand the rules and procedures evolving the occurrences and conditions in the 'hood', you will soon be a true victim of circumstances. In other-words, if you play with fire it will burn you.
Evoking the words of the brilliant gangster griot and lyricist Grandmaster Flash....

Blacksoul_x, once again, underscores his incredible anger toward whites and not having made his way out of his hatred-filled world of the Black Justice League (WTF?), enveloped by division and separatism. He has again failed to enter the world of reality, choosing to blame others for his utter failure. While he seeks to point out how racist and ill informed white folks are ("us" vs them), he simply shows his ignorance and reveals his most racist side yet.
He lives in the land of "Amerikka" and espouses lies and untruths spread by the crackpots that he follows-all the while failing miserably to keep up with the modern day reality of his own racism.
He fails to realize that none of us use the term 'hood as anything but an abbreviation for neighborhood, and seeks to divide and conquer by perpetuating lies and deceit with his own "melodramatics" and posts of complete, divisive bullshit.
He seeks to make fun of those who truly step over his self imposed "line in the sand", as if he and only he, sees clearly what everyone else does not.
He perpetuates the myths that legitimate folks try so hard to tear down, seeking only to keep us apart rather than bring us together by dragging the past to the forefront in every negative refence he makes. His thinking is truly a relic of the past, and the reason for such division in this entire region, not just Detroit. His type of thinking is the biggest anchor to his people, yet he pontificates as though he is the next coming of the messiah.
He is not.
So when he posts his tired shit, ignore it.
Maybe his world will "change" one day, but I doubt it with that prevalent attitude of his. |

In Honor of Blksoul_x's misplaced post, lets have a misplaced roll call!
Rag checking in!
Not much to read over in the Kingdom, who could blame him for wanting to check out Django's little part of the Hood? __go figure!
here is my little melodramatic message.
you said-
"The rules of surviving are not written down on paper, or in a constitutional process, or even pontificated by governmental law"
How about a little common sense etched in stone, By the Blacks, for the Blacks, and evidently ignored by Blksoul_x
Blksoul_x Hates the white man so much, now Django can't even say he lives in the hood.
But let one of the villagers admit to a love for Rock music, and all of a sudden we get-
"The Black brotha' stretching the 'pleasure' boundaries of the Black experience with is appetite for rock music...."
Guess what, Not that much of a stretch. All people have the right to like what they want, Color blind AMERICAN's can stretch the 'pleasure' boundaries of the American experience, and like anything from Music to Hood's! and your permission is not needed, but thanks |

Oh oh oh, I got a new one.
My part time girl just got her two TVs and two DVD players stolen, plus a necklace that Professor Larry bought for her in Europe (that was the REAL loss). They climbed through a window that had been left ajar. Middle of the afternoon on a fairly busy block. I installed new locks all around and am trying to get the alarm system back on since the copper theives have taken the phone lines several times this year on our block.
This by the way is not my block, that Ive talked about in the past, where I stay (for a few more days anyway). This is a pretty nice little oasis on Farnsworth. Still, the shit overflows into the oasis everyonce in a while.
Thanks for letting me vent yall. |

Fareastsider.
As a Neareastsider, I cant try and understand where Blksoul is coming from but Im not pretending to be an insider. Im white, Ive lived down here off and on for 20 yrs but I did grow up in the burbs of white AmeriCa, I just write what I see, I ask questions and hope for some good advice. I did not mean this to be a race issue. Yes, I call my area "the hood" if Blk. lived in Brighton and called his area a neighborhood would he be accused of being sarcastic? What is your advice? Im sure Blks advice would be for me to move to R.O. but thats not happening. If you do have some advice Im reading.
Im not here to get "street cred" or live the black experience, if you knew me you would probably figure that out pretty quick. I feel as if you think I wear sweats with my ass hangin out, a crooked baseball cap, and drive a cutlass with 49" rims that shoot sparks when they spin. Fact is Im just a dude gettin by who happens to be white. I also happen to seek advice and enjoy writing about everyday experiences.
I hope I havent crossed anyone of any race. I actually had a response to Blksoul after his response that tried to make a bridge but a few other ppl made me think about standing my ground, so here I stand, well type anyway. |

As far as I can tell from 3+ years of reading this board, Blksoul_x's post 326 pretty much stands alone in that regard. Is there some undercurrent on here I've been missing all this time? |

I don't think so Bear. I use the word "hood" to identify my old stomping grounds. It ain't no thang. It's a term of endearment, for me anyway. |

Heh heh, yes. I guess I've not quite understood Blksouls outlandish racial rants. But then again, I am white. Dirty, too. Oy. |

I suppose that we are to view the term as being non-intellectual property, or some such thang. |

That's the problem. People repeat what they hear, not reality. Calling out your secondhand bs doesn't get my knickers in a twist.
It's probably best to get to know people and what they stand for before basing an opinion on hundreds of thousands based upon you've been told.
The foolish take what they have been told at face value. |

Take it up with the folks who subscribe to such views. The reality you speak of is made by those who hold such views and have low expectations regarding personal responsibility. |
