[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hood is just a short term for “neighborhood”.

Just like when you refer to “let’s go to your crib” it’s just another way of saying “let’s go to your house”.

There’s nothing racial about any of those statements. [/quote]

[b]I think if you're past your 20s you look silly saying hood or crib.[/b]  I think there are two types of posters who are exceptionally bad for race relations.  One is the liberal white who feels like, in order to be an ally, you have to call out random things as racist or offensive to.  While this group is trying to be helpful, it only serves to diminish real incidents of racism because people start thinking, "here we go again, blacks whining about everything."  The other group are white posters who aren't trying to help at all, but are trying to stoke discord between liberals and conservatives.  Trying to get the, "oh the libtards are at it again" response.  Both groups need to stop.  The latter group won't do it voluntarily, but hopefully the former will get how counterproductive it is to focus on things like whether you can say "hood" when referring to your own neighborhood and just stop with the nonsense.  Seriously, there are real acts of racism out there, let's save our outrage for those.  I'm sick of hearing how blacks are "always crying racism," when a huge chuck of the time it's one of these two groups focusing on inconsequential stuff.  [/quote]
Are you the poster who got freaked out when someone says “it is what it is?” https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/858426.page

Besides that, I agree with you. It’s getting a bit ridiculous that white liberals are finding racism in common things that aren’t racist.  People freaked out when there was a case of Africanized Bees on the west coast this past week and they thought it was racist....really?

I can literally see a world soon where places Taco Bell will considered to be racist one of these days because taco=Mexico=border wall=something something racisms.[/quote]
